Thank you for your comment and for bringing up an important consideration! Emerging data on sugar alcohols like erythritol has indeed raised questions about potential cardiovascular effects, though more research is needed to fully understand the implications. As with any ingredient, it’s important to use it in moderation and consider individual health needs.
In my recipe suggestions, I aim to offer options like Stevia, Erythritol, and Allulose as alternatives that can help reduce sugar intake, especially for those managing specific dietary goals. I encourage everyone to make informed choices and adjust recipes based on what feels best for their health and well-being.
When I grew up in the 60's, Jewish food was a lot rowdier than it must have been for you. On Simchas Torah, we used to get Jelly Apples, which were covered in a hard, beautiful helmut of ruby red stuff that looked like glass, and we got a zillion cavities trying to gnaw our way into it. We loved it.
