I use birch bark, U.S. made zylitol for my sweetener. Do you have any opinion on its use?

"Splenda and Equal are proven substitutes for sugar for diabetics. " Really? In 2012 I was diagnosed with glaucoma, intraocular pressure 27 that was up from 11 the previous year. Eye surgeon gave me 2 choices. 1.) Take 4 different eye drops once a day for rest of life. 2.)Have Laser drill holes in back of eye to relieve pressure. Gave me 3 weeks to make a decision. I had quit sugar and was using splenda, that is when I found out SPLENDA is also poison. I quit splenda and all fake sugars , along with honey, maple syrup and in 6 months my intraocular pressure was 17. Now back to intraocular pressure 11. Two eye surgeons told me this would be impossible. Now they see me and duck. lol

My friend... You say: Splenda and Equal are proven substitutes for sugar for diabetics. Proven by whom??? Who did the study??? Is there more than one study??? Who bought and paid to fund that research if it's even legitimate research in the first place??? Was it a genuine scientific study with legitimate control groups or was it just another clever advertising campaign??? Be aware that so many of the fake and substitute so called foods have highly deceptive advertising campaigns in order to sell us their snake oils... I can give you a long list of examples, but here's one of them: In the mid 60's the Kellogg's cereal company paid one group of researchers to prove that eating fat was not healthy and made us gain weight... only one study and it was bought and paid for by Kellogg's, the company that wanted to scare us into buying their cereal instead of real food... the study was highly defective and unscientific... and yet, since that isolated fake study was conducted there is no coincidence that the population's level of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity began to increase significantly... To this day, more than 60 years later, everyone is still wrestling with that cultural myth, that fake scientific study, which was a complete lie... and there are still products on the market that claim to contain "low fat" as if the Kellogg's 1960's advertising campaign was actually true and factual...
