A comment from an evaluation web site.

* Lakanto is extremely expensive when compared to any other sugar substitute.
* Those taking MAOI’s, SSRI’s, antidepressants, NSAIDS, corticosteroids or certain other medications should consult a physician before taking this product.
* Those who have diabetes, hypoglycemia, high blood pressure, cardiovascular ailments or certain other medical conditions should consult a physician before taking Lakanto.
* Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult a physician before taking this product.
* Lakanto does not seem much different than any other sugar substitute.
* This product makes too many lofty claims.
* Lakanto is boasted to be such a unique product, yet few people seem to have ever heard of it.

Why use this when we can pick up from any Supermarket 'Splenda'. This has half a gram carbs per teaspoon as opposed to Lakanto's 4g per teaspoon.......this would appear to be the same as sugar carbwise. No advantage there. There are also questions regarding it's efficacy for Diabetics and those on certain AD medications and painkillers.

Consult your GP or Dietician before using this product.

A kilo apparently cost just under $50 (dollars) from that particular website. :shock:

Splenda contains only 2 calories per teaspoon, I don't think I will be using Lakanto any day soon...... :!:

Ken.
