Hello John, I raised a question in regards to monk fruit sweetener on yesterday's "Coffee, Tea with Me" call, and was told that I should start a thread addressed to you to get your advice. A while ago I had purchased some sugar-free maple syrup that contained only monk fruit as the sweetener and it was really good. So much better than stevia because it seemed sweeter but also didn't have any kind of bitter aftertaste. I've also done some internet research and it seems like it is acceptable and compares favorably with stevia. However, since I want to be very careful as to not worsen my condition in any way, I decided to stop it until I could find out for sure that it would be OK. On the call, it was pointed out that your whey protein mix contains monk fruit, and since so many people on the protocol use this, I am assuming that it has been given the green light as something that we can take without harming us or feeding the pathogens in our body. I was wondering if you could provide further insight about this sweetener and explain how it compares with stevia. But also provide your opinion on whether or not this is a good alternative for people with MD and also Candida Yeast overgrowth, Lyme, etc. I'm hoping it is OK, because my mother really dislikes stevia and I want to find an alternative for her. Thank you John for all you do for us! God Bless, Anna | |||

Hi John, Thank you so much for your response. I'm really happy to hear that we can use this sweetener without it causing any harm or feeding the pathogens. Now hopefully my mother will be able to stay away from sugary snacks and I can get her to have things sweetened with monk fruit! God Bless you John and thank you for all of your support and your time dedicated to all of us on the forum! Anna | |||

Hi Anna, It has come to my attention that I recently gave you some incorrect information. This post is to clarify that we did indeed recently add monk fruit extract to our Renaissance formula. When you asked the question the label had not yet been updated on our website and I looked at the website instead of looking at my canister of Renaissance. When I did consequently notice monk fruit on the label, I checked in with my manufacturing partner. He reminded me that he had determined that the negative publicity regarding magrosides raising insulin levels had been unfairly raised by competitors and that not only was monk fruit extract awarded GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, but like stevia, it has a glycemic index of zero. However, unlike stevia, it does not have an unpleasant aftertaste... which is why it was added to improve the taste profile of the formula. So yes you may use monk fruit (in moderation of course) without concern. I sincerely apologize for any confusion my response may have caused... Blessings, John | |||
