We are trying to keep things simple here at Truth, yet we’ve added some fine detail in the small things. The latest example is that we have put our remaining sweetener aside and brought in single-sachets of xylitol.
Some cafe’s might say: “Oh no! But they are so expensive per sachet in comparison!”
Probably. But I heard (rumour?) that aspartame / phenylalanine is 1 molecule different to paint thinners. Okay, 1 molecule can make a huge difference but I’m not so keen to take a chance…with others’ health that is1.

- I haven’t added any sugar or sweetener to my coffee since that fatal home mokka pot conversion of Harrar made by my good friend The Dave. ↩
Xylitol and Maltitol are laxatives in many people’s systems. Small packets obviously aren’t going to send people running out the store though.
I’m not exactly sure which paint thinner could be said to resemble aspartame. Toluine and xylene are nowhere close, turpentine is a mix of a lot of hydrocarbons, MEK doesn’t have an aromatic ring, and neither does DMF.
HOWEVER, the alcohol sweeteners (Xylitol and Maltitol) taste better (to me) and as always if you ever have a doubt about something you’re eating it’s better to be safe than sorry.

I’m standing behind Zane, Xylitol seems the way to go , and those who think differently probably give a shit, at least according to Ben E?
Hmmm, running to the restroom too often?
Q: Is that from too much Xylitol or too much coffee?
A: Ha ha! Trick question – as long as you are drinking a lot of water, you “can’t” drink too much coffee.
