Cooking With Sugar Alternatives

Silly advice. Don’t eat any sugar. You can be healthy and have a cookie don’t worry.

Thank you so much for this chart Gemma!! Very useful, especially since I’m really trying to cut back on my refined sugar intake. I’m going to print this out and hang it on the fridge…thank you!!!

Hi, great video. I browsed through the comments and didn’t see this question, sorry if it was already asked, can you take the same amount of stevia and substitute it with splenda? Thanks

i love xylitol, taste like sugar and has no aftertaste like stevia has….

I ❤️ and use all of those!✔️���� where is your nude color cami/tank from?

Thanks for the great ideas. I have a lot of juice pulp left over from my juicer and adding these ideas will really help. Thx

Gemma i have one thing to ask, if i wanna make cookies and does it mean if i change it to honey, it works the same? You mentioned in the decrease in liquid but i dont really understand with it. Am i misunderstanding?

Jaggery in india made from sugarcane through simple processes are very healthy but perishable…

I am not a fan of stevia’s flavor, perhaps I have not tried the right kind (Brand) So I weant to give it a try… I live in Canada and we Unfortunately Thrive Market does not deliver to anywhere in Canada..Is there any other brand you recommend? I was at Wholefoods Market on the weekend and they didn’t have too many to choose from, must of them have Organic Inulin, Silica and Xylitol I wasn’t sure of this ingredients so i ended up not purchasing any:(

In reality, eating the meals the suitable food is one of the primary key element that will allow you to reverse all the related symptoms of diabetes.

I’ve tried making NY style cheesecake with both stevia, and Splenda, both had a different texture than my regular cheesecake. It was almost crumbly, not smooth like velvet. Even tried half sugar and sub, still not the same but did taste better.

My favorite is stevia and agave….Looking forward to trying coconut sugar!!! Thank you for posting

hi doc can you do a vid on salt? thats my problem. thank you love watching your informative vids.

The Monk Fruit linked is mostly Erythritol with a bit of Monk Fruit in it�� it’s not “pure” Monk Fruit

what is the last item? would any one be so kind to spell it out for me? thanks

Can you link to any reputable studies on Manuka honey? I have a hard time distinguishing.

Stevia is #1 a herb with 0 calories
Also people that can handle sugar. We all comes from different types of genes.

will substituting honey affect the flavor of the dessert in any way? i don’t really love the taste of honey but we don’t use sugar in my house:)

My daughter is allergic to eggs, is there an alternative for that,as you know it an easy to make for breakfast and filling.
What is you thoughts on keto dieting?
Your videos are very helpful thanks

Very informative and helpful video! Thank you for all the great tips����

I am addicted to sugar…. I love almonds covered in a milk chocolate, I am able to eat the whole package in one day, I always crave some sweets… how can I get rid of it?

Thank you for your video! It was very helpful. Still researching about Monk fruit just to make sure what brand is better to consume.

1:35 except it’s 600 times sweeter than sugar! HAHA her humour is perfect!

I am diabetic and love baking, guess what I will be doing this weekend???:D

I know its not plant based but what do u think of honey? Any good Brand and type ro choose?:)

You don’t only live longer, but it also looks much longer…. Just joking… I’m 67, no medicine / therapy. But they were always laughing at me.. Were…

Which one has the least after taste I can not take the After taste

Really thank you soooo much ����❤❤❤��God bless you always�� have a very beautiful day ahead ��❤��

I’ve tried them all but xyitol I hope it taste like sugar bc the other sweetener are horrible

What’s the difference between Dr. Mona Vand and Vani Hari, im confused, are they the same person?

really? just one tsp of stevia? wow. can anyone confirm this? i want to use stevia for my sugar sensitive customers

good video!kudos!ive been learning lots of little healthy tricks lately from your videos. thanks!

Will switching these out change the wetness/dryness of your recipe? Should I try to compensate for that with the other ingredients?

so you have kids and like me multiple.. how do you do their meals? how do you not mess up your progress when preparing or feeding your children? My kids are picky and moody and whiny lol so We eat a lot of the same hoping they will get tired of it and eat the healthier alternatives i offer at meals,( which hasn’t worked yet)! any insight would be appreciated! nobody has realistic videos on weight loss and kids! how do you do it!

Great video LAcey, I love your presentation and what you have to say. Thanks so much for all your help!

Thanks to this video, I have just tried my very first experiment baking with Stevia. I made raspberry clafoutis (which I have never made before). I replaced the volume of the sugar with sour cream. The result is just amazing! Thank you again Gemma.

Agave (Agave americana) from which the sweetener is derived is a medicinal plant and should be treated as such; healing many internal discomforts. Also Tequila is derived from one variety. Maple is also medicinal and is my suggestion from these 5, I have also sweetened with a good apple juice.

Are there any negative side effects on the gi system with monk fruit or stevia?

A Big Request. Pls show how to make BUCKEYE CANDIES. Thanks:)

Can you do a how to make a perfect cupcake/cake? Every time I make a cupcake it turns out dry and dense and there’s nothing I can find to help fix that problem.

Gemma, what will the substitution be for brown sugar? Is it equivalent to white sugar?

Hi Gemma. Can u recommend some brands of Stevia as a substitute. I am from India and a bit confused as far as Stevia goes. There are several of them available on the net and for fragile health reasons don’t wish to choose the wrong one. Please advise. I really like your videos.Thank you so much and keep up the good work n God bless you.

Institute of Holistic Nutrition in Canada there is a Toronto and Vancouver campus. I’m not sure what to suggest for the U.S because I don’t think any of the programs are exactly like IHN.

I have a question.. you can use them for any recipes or not??. like if you want to bake cookies you need the texture of sugar or you can use any of this options..??. i hope you can understand my bad english haha… hugs from México

She’s contradicting herself when she says artificial sweeteners aren’t good for you but yet she’s recommending the brand LAKANTO in the description box which have erythrol. I know she isn’t trustworthy! You should too.

Please don’t fear monger against sugar like all the syrup options you included are still sugar nonetheless with almost negligible amounts of nutrients or antioxidants that you probably shouldn’t rely on sugar as a source for. They are ALL processed so instead of buying some $20 coconut nectar, you’re probably better off buying $5 sugar in the raw and some greens to get like actual amounts of nutrients. As for chemical sweeteners, all reliable studies show that they’re only harmful in exorbitant doses that are practically impossible to meet eating normally, they’re still not healthy but it’s not healthy either to be scared of cane sugar and Diet Coke.

hy,i’n from Brazil,a goodhoney is easy to find,one doubt demerara sugar is good?

Thank you Gemma! I downloaded printed and pasted these charts on my fridge. ��

Recently, my family has been experimenting with erythritol & xylitol. The package says that erythritol is 2/3rds the sweetness of sugar. So far, I have used it the same as sugar in a few recipes, one of which was an angel food cake. I can tell though that it still not quite right. Do you have any suggestions?

Great informational video. Totally advocate sugar swaps. Like you I opt for healthy low GI swaps. Grated fruit peal also works in recipes
Ideas for monin caramel (any flavour
coffee syrup) swap? Sugar free like skinny cow and Jordans have an after taste…for me coconut sugar doesn’t do it, maple syrup is OK but only for cinnamon milk not coffee. Almond milk coffee changes taste profile. Skimmed milk coffee with cinnamon is sufficient but not for almond. Blended a date and fig to get sweetness sonetimes

can you please show how to make homemade savory taco shells

Hi Gemma! I do have a question. When you say decrease liquid by 2-4 tsp or tbs, do you mean the additional liquid in the recipe. So for example: I’m making a cake and it calls for 1 c sugar and 6 tbs milk. I would use 3/4 c honey and 4 tbs milk correct? Also another example concerning stevia: I would substitute the 1c sugar for 1 tbs stevia but why am I adding in apple butter for bulk? What’s the bulk? I’m so sorry if I sound confusing. It’s because I’m confused lol. Thanks so much in advance and I absolutely love your channel.

I became diabetic just watching this sweet mama…Hot damn girl you’re fine…

Hi Gemma, i am enjoying so much these series. Thanks for making them.

Patricia.

can you talk about why the cake some times has a eggy taste and how we can get rid of it

Gemma, some cakes like pound cake or cookie use the creaming method, ie mixing white sugar and butter until fluffy and that give a light but rich texture to the product. I wonder the liquid form sugar substitude can also be ‘creamed’ with butter?

Great info!! This is the first video i watched of yours and its the only one that i needed to see to subscribe!!!

Does coconut sugar have a strong coconut taste because I don’t like it?

You’re gonna do the flour alternative chart I asked for!!!!! AWESOME! I’m gluten free so that’s gonna be such an amazing help!!!

You are exactly what I have been looking for… great inspiration. I was diagnosed with cirrhosis in March of last year and still do not know the exact cause. They are still searching for a possible underlying autoimmune disease. Immediately after being diagnosed with cirrhosis I took it upon myself to cut all processed foods and sugars and always looking for ideas and recipes. Most channels and sites are geared more towards vegetarian or gluten free. Keep it up!

What type from that group if sugars you listed is good to make and bake a Red Velvet Cake???

Gemma, I’d love to see a video on Cremeux, I saw a bakery online that makes it really thick and uses it as frosting which sounds delicious.

1) Raw Honey
2) Stevia
3) Dates
4) Agave Syrup
5) Blackstrap Molasses
6) Coconut Sugar
7) Xyliyol
8) Yacon Syrup

if your not a huge coconut person…..for the coconut sugar is it a strong taste?

Very helpful! I love coconut nectar and started replacing it in my tea, and it’s so yummy.

This video is AMAZING! Thanks so much for posting it! Never knew so many different types of sugar and sweetners existed. I’m obsessed with baking and love sweets, but really wanna become more healthier. So it’s great to know I’ll still be able to satisfy my sweet tooth and have the foods I love!

In Sri Lanka, in addition to Coconut sugar we use Palm sugar as well and ‘sugar’ is referrd to “Jaggery”.
It is Pol Hakuru (Coconut jaggery) and Kithul Hakuru (Palm Jaggery).
Both kinds of jaggery are consumed in place of ‘so called’ refined sugar and ofcourse are much much healthier!

The best that I have tried is Xylitol (around $10.00 a bag) which measures and tastes like white sugar with no after taste like the many that I have previously tried. The granulars are a bit large so if you want, you can grind them into a finer powder. Great for diabetics like me!!

i hope to see you make a bake from our Beautiful middle Eastern cuisine, which is baklava, how beautiful it is!!!��������

I can’t get on with Stevia, it leaves such an after taste which reminds me of artificial sweeteners. Keen to try Coconut sugar and Yucon Syrup

Why on Earth, if she is a doctor, didn’t she realize that Monk fruit has MALTODEXTRIN. GMO!

The moment I heard the name “Ireland” it made me remind of the movie “P.S. I LOVE YOU”:D

Hi! New to your channel and love your videos:)
I was curious, what exactly is cane sugar and what makes it unhealthy? I know people say the sugar in the raw brand is better for you or “healthy,” but what is it that makes it bad?

am first Tim watching these all sweetener.except of dates honey and white sugar. and I think these are not available in Pakistan.

Love it! I have gone 4 months without processed sugars and felt awesome!:)I do eat fruits, maple syrup and honey in moderation. I love the way I feel and definitely have lost weight and feel so much happier with my life

what brand is the stevia you use? I cant find it at the thrive market

thank you for this..so this substitution works with every desserts? cakes,donuts cookies….???

I am 20 years old. I weight 113 kg. Could there be any possibility that I would lose weight without loss-weight skin??? Please I need help.

Hi there! It all depends on how restrictive your candida cleanse is because any sugars no matter the form (good or refined) will feed candida even fruit. However, the anti-candida diet can be extremely difficult to follow. If you are really committed, then stick to stevia.:)

please tell me what type of schooling you had to take to become a holistic nutritionist I would love to become one also I am 47 years old but I am very interested in nutrition. I love you and all of your videos thank you for taking the time to make them. Also can you list any schools in the states that might offer it. Thank you.
