I don’t think 4g of carbs could have sent me up so much higher than my normal post breakfast levels. I think I was nervous, and rushing about this morning before starting a volunteer job, my first work of any kind for over 8 years, awake early and my liver decided to kick start my day.

As to if it will help my cholesterol levels, well that’s another discussion.....


Did you check the bottle for ingredients? Sometimes these have artificial sweeteners and some do actually cause blood sugar spikes. Maltodextrin, for example.
