Yeah, I think that is comparing itself to atrificial sweeteners liek aspartame, not actual sugar. I do wonder, is it any good?
It's fine, my mom keeps it at her house and I put it in my coffee there.

I buy the Monk Fruit kind for recipes because my DH has to watch his blood sugar. It's worked well in things so far.Yeah, I think that is comparing itself to atrificial sweeteners liek aspartame, not actual sugar. I do wonder, is it any good?
I like coffee served hot. I like to sip coffee, not getting a cup of lukewarm coffee that you need to gulp before it turns into iced coffee.We go for a foo foo coffee every Sunday. My wife insists they prepare her coffee at 200 degrees. That is about as hot you can make it without burning the milk in it. And yes, she can drink it that hot.
That should really be labeled as “rice alternative.” It’s made of flour from some oddball plant and water. Basically pasta. Lower in carbs than authentic rice.
Agreed! I gave it several tries in my coffee and it just wasn't for me.For the record, Stevia is gross.
Not only is Stevia gross, but it's related to ragweed. If you have a ragweed allergy you probably have a Stevia allergy as well.I agree with Dan. It likely wasn't a sugar to sugar comparison, but a comparison between plant-based and non-plant based sweeteners.
For the record, Stevia is gross.
Also for beer, it is not the main ingredients themselves, but finishing products can make it non-vegan.My husband sent me a TikTok video last week, about the absurdness of "plant-based beer" and how awful this is and yadda yadda yadda.
Unless yall know another way to grow hops....
Again, I think this part is getting lost in “obvious” with easy to pick on wording. “Plant-Based” has become more common to describe the dietary process of where no animal non-plant products are used in processing a particular “food” with the literal - “yeah, we know a potato chip isn’t a cow”Also for beer, it is not the main ingredients themselves, but finishing products can make it non-vegan.

It would make more sense for beer manufacturers to label their beer as vegan friendly vs plant based.Also for beer, it is not the main ingredients themselves, but finishing products can make it non-vegan.
How is something so bitter used as a sweetener?Not only is Stevia gross, but it's related to ragweed. If you have a ragweed allergy you probably have a Stevia allergy as well.
I found out about the relationship the hard way.
Post 17 in this thread already covered this.Then there’s this:

THIS! I can't have aspartame(or anything similar) because it makes me so nauseas and gives me a migraine. I was at a friend's house and her husband is diabetic. He made me a margarita using his own mix(since he has to be careful with sweeteners as well as gluten) I broke out in hives the next morning and just felt off/sick. I asked my friend if he used any artificial sweeteners in it(because of my reaction), turns out he used Stevia-apparently I can't have that either and found out the hard way as wellNot only is Stevia gross, but it's related to ragweed. If you have a ragweed allergy you probably have a Stevia allergy as well.

I don't even know what bad joke to start with for that.Hawaiin Springs markets their product as "young" water.
It's actually more bitter the more you use. Very small amounts are actually sweet.How is something so bitter used as a sweetener?
