Erythritol tastes just like sugar, slightly less sweet

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

I do not agree with this, I'm sorry. I think while yes sweet similar to sugar, it has a slightly menthol and aggressively metallic taste.

That being said, I am a supertaster unfortunately, so that may be contributing to my difficulty with fake sugars.

Yeah this is my experience, luckily I love the menthol and metallic taste in erythritol while I hate all other sweeteners (except sugar)

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Fair enough, I'm definitely not a supertaster, so maybe that's why I can't taste it.

Erythritol has a cold minty aftertaste for me, but a 50:50 mix with stevia eliminates that taste.

JFC erythritol is dangerous. Blood clots, wipes the gut microbiome.

Better off with sugar.

Do you have sources for these claims?
