Question:

Which sweeteners if any, would you not recommend us using?

— Mary Gerstein

Answer:

I will tell you what sweeteners I use. I use organic cane sugar, I use whole cane sugar, which is quite brown. It contains all of the molasses that's inherent in the cane and it's been dried and has never been extracted and put back in. I use coconut sugar quite a lot and I use some Okinawa and brown sugar. Those are my granulated sweeteners I use for the liquid sweeteners. I use maple syrup, dates, syrup, which is also known as silan. SS I L A n. What else do I use? Some rice syrup. I don't use barley malt anymore. Oh my goodness, I haven't used that in years. But it, it actually has a it molasses type flavor and I use what is the, there is another one that I use that will come to me. I don't use any of the sugar alcohols. Those are the ones that I don't use.
