Anyone know much about erythritol? I’ve seen it in some of the Primal recipes and was curious about what this was. Are there any health problems associated with it or is this a healthy form sugar replacement. Finally, where do you purchase it?

Oh yeahh… About 5 years from now, there will be a 800 Number plastered up on our TV Screens, informing us to call for a Class Action Suit if we are suffering from an illness from Truvia or if a loved one death might be connected.
When are we going to stop popping everything we see into our mouths like children? What’s this supposed to be anyway– a one up on Stevia? No wonder there is so much sickness and disease!!!

For years I experienced heart palpitations and all those years I was using Aspartame (Equal). I had physical check-ups and cardiograms and nothing showed any sign of heart problems. Then one day I had heart palpitations so bad it seemed to go right through my throat to my head causing dizziness and scaring me. After much analyzing of the day leading up to that, I decided to stop using Equal. I have not had heart palpitations since, therefore I personally know that Aspartame is bad stuff. I do use Splenda and have for some years but am starting to have reservations about using it even though I haven’t experienced any problems (that I’m aware of).
