I have been using Lekanto Monk Fruit sweetener for years to replace sugar. I use it in green tea, baked goods, and even in pasta sauces. Glad to know that it has zero impact on the glycemic index.

Monk fruit is very popular in Thailand too! It was introduced by Chinese immigrants about 60-70 years ago and known as Lor Hung Guay drink (monk fruit juice)Nowadays, the drink is very popular throughout the country. Most restaurants especially the ones that owned by Thai-Chineses have the drink to offer you. People can also find the drink in all 7-11 or most convenient stores in our country. I started to reduce a large amount of sugar and replace it with monk fruit. I bought “XPRS Nutra brand” because it’s extract power, small bottle and I can bring with me everywhere. The brand also claims that there are 25% mogroside.

Love the professional, evidence-based approached. This is the best presentation on the subject to date.

I use the Lakanto drops which are pure monk fruit (unlike their powder version which has erythritol). I used to use stevia drops but monk fruit tastes much better with no after taste

[ronaldcoley]

Thank you very much for the review! It was concise and informative. Just the way I like it!

I just buy the whole dried monk fruit in Asian supermarkets, break it into smaller pieces, and boil it with water for 10 minutes making a monkfruit tea syrup to add to coffee. However Monkfruit has a unique herbal taste that not everyone can accept. I'm ok with it but my husband hates the smell and taste.

Hello Dr Kim Thanks for taking the time to do the videos about sweeteners. I have been using the 100% MONK DROPS (liquid) sold on amazon and another brand by XPRS NUTRA in very fine powder form which is also sold on amazon. I read the reviews and thought these two product claim as 100% so, I am using these two so far. I did read some time ago that study shows in Mice that it makes heart swelling for allulose. I could be two times of your age and I am not diabetic. For the first time my Hemoglobin A1C was one point high last year. From next day, I started researching for an alternative sweetener and started using the above two brands Monk Fruit sweetener. I am always under 105 but from last year my weight has come down to 97. I am not on any medication but do have thyroid nodules. After watching your videos on Allulose and Monk Fruit and you mentioned to write comments which brand and why we chose this brand I am writing this comment. I also had UTI infection may be three time in 7 years. Also At Least one time I wake up in the night to go the bathroom.

I am using Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener. Is this a good sweetener brand to use? What brand do you recommend using?

[grandpatravel]

Hi, doctor. I have been using allulose after watching your video about it. I now have no guilt to sweeten my coffee. This video on monk fruit is interesting and informative. I would give it a try.

[AlexanderLu-wk]

I have used Truvia monk fruit sweetener. So far so good. I have been using it for six months. We will see the next blood test next year.

[uchsreymom]

Thanks for sharing i am about to buy it to make keto coffee, i wish your Channel Growth more subscribers since you did a lot to make this video for us.

[davidsylvester]

I had not known that monk fruit had medicinal values. That's good to know. I use :D brand monk fruit brown sugar substitute sweetener that I found on amazon probably because it's reasonably priced. I started using it a couple years ago to use in a keto friendly kahlua substitute recipe. Recently I started using it in a keto friendly ice cream that I mold into popsicles. Thanks for the information about monk fruit and other sweeteners.

I use Monkfruit as a sweetener because I don't need much to sweeten my coffee and it doesn't spike my blood sugar. I use the enlight brand I picked it because it says just pure Monkfriut extract. I also used Allulose too. To me these are the only two sweeteners I trust. I stay away from anything with a high glycemic index but if I do once in a while want to take a break and use a sweetener those are the two best for me. Allulose is really great yet not quite as sweet as Monk fruit. I have also experimented with combining them and got good results.

[samfarabee]

Thank you so much for this video. Started hearing about monk fruit a little while ago and was curious. Can't wait for more information to be revealed through further testing.

[lokipokey]

I like to use Lakanto golden for hot cereals such as oat bran. It's similar to brown sugar. I also mix it with cinnamon to make cinnamon sugar. I'm glad to hear that there are low risks, and even possible benefits from it.
My husband is diabetic, and sometimes has a bit of trouble with erythritol.
After watching several videos on allulose from you and other apparently reliable researchers, I'm going to try making homemade ice cream with it for him

[keppela]

You should talk about the potential hazards of MF products containing erythritol since the latter's been implicated in thrombosis and major cardiovascular events.

[horace]

Hi my name is Deven and I have been using monk fruit and stevia for the past year-and-a-half I cook with monk fruit basically everything and so far so good.

[gautambaudh]

I bought the Whole Earth one, because it was a little cheaper than the other bag. I don't think there are too many choices at the stores where I live.

[RaymondErdey]
