Roar and erythritol

GGS — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 17:32:35 GMT

I used to drink the bottled Roar but after hearing so much about how bad erythritol is, I've switched to their powdered mixes, which don't contain it. I wonder if they'll reformulate the bottled Roars to take out the erythritol.

@GGS Yes, outside links, like the one you included, get removed, and sometimes the entire post gets removed.

I only use Roar in the powdered form. Less plastic and much more convenient for me.

There are no ads on the site. That used to be okay. However, maybe changing it to a non-live link will pass muster.

We try to avoid it too, but it seems to be in so many things and we dont want the excess sugar and calories.

In hopes that only the live link is removed I'm posting the link information here. It is not a live link.

I removed the link -- basically it says that erythritol is really not good to consume since it can affect the heart.

The Roar powdered mix doesn't have it, and frankly I think the powder tastes better than the bottles. But that vendor guzzles down bottles of it whenever he's on the Q -- he must be loaded with erythritol by now.

I don't consume any artificial sweeteners. They all cause stomach issues, headache.

@Nightowlz Yes ALL for me! I hate when people sneak it into something, you inniocently eat it and think "OH NO" then they chirp "Oh but doesn't it taste like sugar?"

No, it doesn't and no I can't see you now because my aura is beginning. . .

That's not EXACTLY what it said. The particular study in question was only 20 participants. Not exactly a large study. It was mentioned that other studies have INDICATED the same thing, which was that it MAY cause blood clots.

I think it's better to let people read the article for themselves and let them draw their own conclusions.
