 Do you ever wonder if these natural sugar substitutes or sugar alternatives are good for you? Hey there, njrew22.com here with a quick little video about sugar substitutes, but along with a low carb diet or carnivore diet as well as alcohol consumption. I'm gonna do a real quick background here. We enjoy our wine. We've enjoyed our low carb seltzers for a long time. And after a while, sometimes we drink many days in a row, not exorbitantly, not till we pass out, but a couple drinks for pretty extended periods of time. And after a while, when you've been drinking for a lot of your life, you start feeling a pain in here. I don't know what it was. I called it a liver problem, but it may not be. It could be pancreas or gallbladder. I don't know. So I have been abstaining from alcohol for quite a while now. Take a week off, have a drink on Friday night, and then take another week off. I've been feeling really good in terms of whatever pain has been bothering me. So I have kind of listened to my body and said I'm not gonna, drinking, I've correlated it to drinking. I don't know if it's causation or something else. Maybe I'm terminally ill. I don't know. But by abstaining from alcohol, the pain and discomfort has gone away. However, I want to bring in an important point about these sugar substitutes. We don't eat sugar anymore, like table sugar, sucrose, or we don't even need fruit or anything. So what I have found very interesting is, let's say I haven't had any alcohol for a week and my side doesn't hurt anymore. I had some of this low carb ice cream in the freezer and I had a, I don't know, a quarter pint, a few ounces. And I felt the pain again. And that leads me to believe that there's something in these sugar substitutes, whether it's Rithritol, Xylitol, or Malitol, which is one of them that kind of makes you crap in your pants, or monk fruit. One of these sugar substitutes, it does something with the liver and this part of your digestive system that I think it's not good for you. Maybe it's not good for you while you're low carb. Maybe it's not good for you while you maybe you had some heavy alcohol in your system in the last year or so. But I think the sugar, it's definitely these fake sugars or I call them fake, they're natural, whatever you wanna call them. I think something in these sugars is detrimental to part of your digestive system and I recommend that people look into it. I don't know what studies are done. I can't believe most studies, but this is personal experience and I really think that if I feel that same pain I get after a heavy night of drinking and whatever damage I did to my own internal organs, it's happening with these artificial sugar substitutes. So that's something to keep in mind. I'm cutting them out completely. I don't wanna feel that pain. I think it might be the Malitol if I had to pick one and that's in the Sola Ice Cream. But I don't think I should be putting any of these tricky sugar substitutes in my body and I don't think you should either. So that's it. Hit the like, hit the subscribe. Let me know what you think about this and I'll see you next video.
