					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve used erythritol for quite a few years, and I have IBD. I started with (birch-derived) xylitol, but switched to erythritol due to xylitol&#039;s toxicity to some pets. I&#039;ve only consumed small quantities, and I do not consume it every day. Neither erythritol nor xylitol have caused me GI upset, personally, in these small quantities (sorbitol was another story). Of the sugar alternatives, these I&#039;ve liked because, A) I can not tell the difference between them and pure sugar in blind taste tests, B) I can cook and bake with and get the same end-result as sugar, and C) I have not personally had an issue with stomach disturbances. That said, I have little experience with stevia given erythritol was working well for me before stevia became popular, so I don&#039;t have any reason to switch up my routine (except perhaps that erythritol is pretty expensive.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You said:
&quot;&quot;&quot;
When you eat sugar-containing foods your body inherently knows how to process them. It releases hormones that help you manage your appetite.

When you consume manmade artificial sweeteners, your body doesn’t metabolize them and therefore doesn’t register that you’ve consumed anything. This leads to greater cravings and thus the risk of overeating and weight gain.
&quot;&quot;&quot;

The first paragraph is only true of non diabetics, and only partially true for those who&#039;re glucose intolerant. It&#039;s not true of anyone eating fructose or sucrose because fructose units are metabolised as a poison causing cumulative damage to the liver even if you take only a teaspoon (Robert Lustig&#039;s research and lectures are very informative regarding this http://profiles.ucsf.edu/robert.lustig). I think your paragraph is overall very misleading.

The second paragraph doesn&#039;t mention the hormone or neural path that reduces your appetite nor does it give a reference to a credible source or chart of the effect. I&#039;ve seen this text almost exactly like this in unreliable and deceptive articles elsewhere so I suspect it&#039;s been copied to here without a justification for it. Also, it&#039;s very suspicious that metabolising incoming food is suggested as the cause of behavioural change instead of an identified signal that results from metabolism (eg a side effect of storing glucose as glycogen or of hepatic de novo lipogenesis). It ignores the fact that adipose tissue strongly signals satiety but doesn&#039;t indicate that erythritol inhibits that signal except deduction based on a false premise (see  https://caloriecontrol.org/myth-fact-decrease-satiety/ which gives references showing that some manmade sweeteners don&#039;t increase appetite so the only logical basis you&#039;ve given for thinking that erythritol *does* is falsified).]]></description>
