Hi Everyone I've just read an article linking erythritol to strokes and heart attacks. Evidently it causes blood clots. I buy products containing erythritol and use it for cooking as it doesn't spike my blood sugars. I believed it was safe but not so sure now. Does anybody else use this and has...

Hi Everyone I'm been reading about intermittent fasting on the diet doctor website. I need some clarification on what is stated, I don't know if I'm understanding it !!! It states that when fasting your blood glucose levels will decrease. If that is the case why does my blood sugars increase on...

Hi Everyone I wanted to ask a question about my vision and seek your advice. I have been short sighted for many years (although I don't wear my glasses unless I'm driving or watching a good film on tele). I've noticed this last week that my close up vision has got really bad although my distant...
