artificial sweetner

[chefdee]

Can I ask if Artificial sweeteners are ok, although I don't have sugar sometimes I need to use sweetener in a recipe

Most people can cope with artificial sweeteners. Just try to avoid ones that contain aspartame.

Thank you ...Can they spike sugar levels

Not normally.. But if say using in a cake or pud you would inevitably have carbs from the other ingredients....

Erythritol or Xylitol are good for substituting in baking, you can use it cup for cup. Xylitol is toxic to dogs though.

Thank you I'm learning slowly, I do have lots of questions but I do look through the previous posts to look for answers before I ask you
