Question from Linda

Hi Debra,

I was shopping in Walmart here in Kissimmee, FL and came across a sweetner called Clabber Girl Sugar Replacer. It has Sorbitol, Eythritol, Isomalt, Polydextrose, Acesulfime, Potassium and Neotame. Are these natural sweetners or should they be avoided?

Thanks,

Linda

Debra’s Answer

You may have heard the recommendation, “If you don’t recognize a food ingredient as a food, don’t eat it!” That applies to sweeteners as well.

Sorbitol, Eythritol, Isomalt, and Polydextrose are sugar alcohols. Acesulfime and Neotame are artificial sweeteners, not recommended. Potassium is a salt.

I wouldn’t use this product.
