[QUOTE="Thomas the Tank, post: 2197915, member: 492857"] I am not sure I would call either Stevia or Monk fruit Sugar 'fake sugars' no more so than say maple syrup is fake sugar. Not fully understanding why a product that stimulates insulin secretion would cause a pancreas which has to work overtime to make insulin to need to work harder instead of helping produce more easier. Can anybody help me reduce my ignorance please. and i did find this " Unlike stevia, there is no evidence of monk fruit extract or sweeteners being mutagenic. As part of the Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) determination, lab results filed with the FDA report the “powder extract did not exhibit any cytotoxic or mutagenic potential.” "With stevia, mutagenic side effects are seen in both lab and animal research." Oh well at least the good old boys at the FDA give sugar a clean bill of health! [/QUOTE]
