First, one should consider all of the ramifications, the effect on this plant, of buying yet another Unnecessary product from our energy-using industrial culture. It certainly is “a want” not “a need”.
In addition, regardless of its 0 carb status, it is still sweet. It is used to satisfy a craving (which doesn’t have to be triggered by high carb glucose sugars); it reinforces the learned pattern of sweetness expectation, so prevalent in our culture. Thus, the frosted carrot cake made with erythritol, which looks just like one’s old favorite from Grandma or the bakery. It is stated to be the “least” objectionable sugar substitute which means it is still objectionable. The fact that Erythritol has FDA approval as safe, acceptable, means nothing. We have been done this path a multitude of times over the years. Cargill is one producer of erythritol. Enough said.
