And I'm just want to point over my shoulder. If you see my KitchenAid mixer over there. I actually as we say took one for the team because these are not this basket of sweeteners Xylitol alulose Monk fruit sweetener, which really is erythritol and monk fruit together. And a different allulose that has alulose and stevial. Glucocides from Stevia and them and then there's the King Arthur. baking sugar alternative which is a mix and I actually think that a mix of sweeteners when you're not using when we're using this class of Sugars that aren't really sugar I think a mix is the best way to go. This has erythritol corn fiber aleus cane sugar derived from fructan fiber. That might be inulin monk fruit extract and severely extract. I taste them all I changed them all and They bother me if they don't bother you, then that's the way it goes.
