<p>luo han guo…monk fruit is it safe for long term use? Also, is nectresse verison the only one available in the USA. I been trying to find out more information on this product.</p>

<p>I just recently learned that the sugar alchohols in candy makes my fasting blood sugar really bad. I didn’t even check this until I read a book that had a little bit of information about sugar substitutes. I had not checked my blood sugars regularly because my A1C was ok. I decided to check my level after I ate some of these sugar free candies the day before. I had a worst fasting sugar than normal and had nothing else that day that would of caused it. 25 points higher than my normal level.</p>

<p>Doesn’t look like there is enough evidence out to prove if it’s safe. It hasn’t been studied as extensively as other sweeteners on the market. Probably best to use in moderation.</p>
