Perfect cheesecake – NO sugar!
We don’t like sugar! It is harmful, causes many diseases, is addictive!But we like cakes – and that’s why I use erythritol instead of sugar. It is a natural sweetener from the group of polyols, come from fruits, lichens, algae and pollen. You will also find it in vegetables, fruits (e.g. grapes, pears), mushrooms. Importantly – the glycemic index of erythritol is zero, making it safe for diabetics and recommended for people with insulin resistance.

Erythritol is also good for slimming, because it contains virtually no calories, but it is almost as…

Nourishment – strengthens, builds, nourishes,…
