Sugar free sweets & their affects

[Mark Parrott]

Aldi do a nice range of sugar free, the cappuccino ones are especially nice, all made with Isomalt and sucralose. i seldom eat more than 4 or 5 in a go as they live in the car.

We have an Aldi opening in a couple of weeks. I'll check them out.🙂

ROFL. The reviews are achingly funny. I'm laughing so hard I'm glad I haven't recently been eating the things myself.

I like the aldi ones. The butterscotch one is lovely.

I had an upset tummy this morning. Whether that was related to my 2 lemon sherbets yesterday, I don't know, but I'm scared to eat them now. I'll keep them in case I need a good clearout.

Oh dear, this thread has made me laugh like a drain! And the Amazon reviews - 😱😱 - hysterical! I am *so* very glad I don't have much of a sweet tooth and have never used any sweeteners!

I once stupidly ate an entire 90g pack of sugar-free jerry gummies (probably about 20-25 sweets).

Not only did it punt my blood sugar up to the 20s, I was in so much pain I had to manually deflate myself by lying on my back and squeezing my knees against my chest and aiming at an open window.

The reward of doing a fart that lasted over a minute and changed note six times was NOT worth it.

The burning question is did you manage to coax a tune out of it?









OK. I'll get my coat. 😉
