Apologies if these questions have been asked previously. I do not see them on a quick run through the forum.
I am very new to low carb and seeking information about the best way to satisfy sweet cravings. I am happy to make my own treats but need some guidance on which sweetener to use. Could someone please tell me:
1. What is erythritol and what brand names does it go by?
2. Is it the same as Sorbitol, or is Sorbitol as good a low carb substitute?
or
3. Is it the same as Stevia, or is Stevia as good a low carb substitute?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
