[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2263735, member: 480869"] With sweetener not only do some people have cephalic response (they smell and taste sweet so their body reacts to sweet) but some sweetener is mixed with basically “sugar”. Look at the ingredients for maltodextrin or dextrose. Avoid it like the plague if those are there. Maltitol in “no sugar” items is another one a lot of us avoid. Common for tummy upsets and bgl rises as bad as sugar. Best non artificial sweeteners usually recommended are stevia, Erythritol or xylitol. Again check what they are mixed with in the fine print. Xylitol is the most sugar like but highly toxic to dogs and a few people have a Small bgl response to it. Stevia is ideal but has a distinct taste that I personally hate. Erythritol is my choice as no bgl response or tummy upset for most people but probably needs to be bought on Amazon etc as supermarkets don’t usually have it. Some say it has a cooling taste. Even better is to wean yourself off completely if you can. [/QUOTE]
