Alternative sweetener sorbitol linked to liver disease

Sweeteners such as aspartame, found in Equal packets, sucralose (Splenda), or sugar alcohols are often seen as healthier alternatives to food with refined sugar (glucose).

I remember when this #bacteria was first discovered.

Once introduced, they lost around 10% of their weight. Why? They didn't know.
Now it turns out this produces a protein that stimulates the body into producing more GLP-1 derivatives. I recently started taking this because I was looking for a obligate Claustrophobia spore-former which along with Bacillus subtilus has been shown to break down #sorbitol which is one of the few parts of #FODMAP that enzymes can't break down, and it came blended as an extra where Akkermansia was the selling point. I'll let you know how it goes. Hoping to get all the good benefits of GLP-1 by effectively microdosing it, which has been shown to have positive effects. I will keep you informs as to how it goes. Also hoping that once I've lost weight I will have beaten FODMAP for good, with xylase isomerase and alpha-galactocidase (beano minus the mannitol)
