if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't consume it

I dont know what erithrytol is but xylitol is a natural sweetener that is good for your teeth and helps protect against cavities.

xylitol is a sugar alchohol. It's in the gum my daughter's orthodontists pushes because it neutralizes and even reverses the bacteria that causes decay. Because it's a sugar alcohol, consume to much, it can cause diarrhea. So I wouldn't say "good for you" but definitely a, moderation type thing if you choose to consume it.

I'll stick to letting my teenager with braces chew it in gum because she needs all the help she get to keep her teeth in top notch condition but personally, I'll bake with sugar and have a little when the mood suits me, working it into my daily calories.

If most people lived literally by it, then there be not only less overweight people, but probably malnourished ones as well. The composition of an apple down to it's chemical components isn't pronouncable for many.

The “Nutrition Almanac” by Lavon J. Dunne gives us further nutritional information on the apple. In one medium apple weighing about five ounces we find the following constituents of vitamins and minerals; Vitamin A, B1, B2, and B6, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Folic acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Pottassium, Selenium, Sodium, and Zinc. The fats in the apple contain no cholesterol. Instead they are a blend of lipids, saturated, unsaturated and monounsaturated fats. In addition to fats the apple contains the other macronutrients of proteins, and carbohydrates. Other phytochemicals include; Tryptophan, Threonine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lycine, Methionine, Cystine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Valine, Argenine, Histidine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, and Serine. Trace amounts of Boron and Cobalt are found in apples.

Of course that is said as a means to get or assist people to not eat processed foods, that have many additives, preservatives, and other ingredients not found in most whole/clean types of food.

Everything isn't black/white..thinking in absolutes is rarely realistic.

Dihydrogen monoxide.

It's very dangerous. It's in everything. It's in OUR BODIES. *shudders*

You ought to stop consuming it. IMMEDIATELY. And who can pronounce that, anyways?

(Well, you can call it water. I'll stick to making alarmist posts about chemical sounding names and how awful those things are.)

All of those grammatical mistakes are tearing me apart! :sad:

I shudder to think about what this world would be like without preservatives. They're a FOODsaver.

See what I did there?

I'm a chemist. Are you saying that because I can pronounce all the chemicals I use I should be okay eating them??

I couldn't pronounce quinoa until around a year ago. I pronounced it "quin-oa" and it's pronounced "keen-wa". Does that mean that it wasn't healthy for me until I learned how to pronounce it?


No.

no one would EVER eat Worcestershire sauce AGAIN!

I love saying this, but then I have a science degree....so I read labels like I'm reading Dr. Suess.

Both erythritol and xylitol are naturally occurring compounds found in fruits and some vegetables. They are considered better for diabetics than sugar because they don't cause insulin spikes. In the end it's your decision but I would be cautious with xylitol as it can cause digestive issues.

If people avoided ingredients they can't pronouce Subway would be thrown from it's "healthy" pedestal. How do you say azodicarbonamide?

And no, erythritol is not Stevia; it is sometimes added to products like Truvia because it's better for baking.
