Zašto stevija i eritritol imaju različit uticaj na telo? (Why do stevia and erythritol have different effects on the body?)

 1. Stevija 

A) Priroda i efekti:

Prirodni zaslađivač dobijen iz listova biljke Stevia rebaudiana.

B) Kalorije: 0 kcal, ne podiže šećer u krvi → idealno za dijabetičare i osobe sa IR.

C) Probava: ne fermentiše se u crevima, nema nadutosti.

D) Ukus: može imati blago gorak ukus-posle, posebno u većim količinama.

E) Kada koristiti:

- Za zaslađivanje napitaka, domaćih kolača i dezerata koji ne zahtevaju pečenje.

- Kada želiš apsolutno bez šećera i minimalan uticaj na šećer u krvi.

 2. Eritritol 

A) Priroda i efekti:

Šećerni alkohol, prirodno prisutan u voću, ali se industrijski proizvodi iz skroba.

B) Kalorije: praktično 0 kcal, ne podiže značajno šećer u krvi.

C) Probava: u manjim količinama obično dobro podnošljiv, ali >50 g dnevno može izazvati nadutost, gasove i proliv.

D) Pecenje: odličan za pečenje jer zadržava teksturu i volumen, ne kristališe lako kao stevija.

E) Visoke doze: studije spominju moguć rizik od povećanja zgrušavanja krvi, ali to je relevantno samo pri ekstremnim količinama (>100 g/dan).

F) Kada koristiti:

- Za pečenje kolača, domaćih čokolada i vafla jer daje pravu teksturu i hrskavost.

- Kada želiš kombinaciju “niskog šećera” i dobre strukture hrane.

Zaključak:

- Stevija: idealna za napitke i poslastice gde je tekstura manje bitna, maksimalno IR bolje.

- Eritritol: idealan za pečenje i kolače, daje strukturu, ali u velikim količinama može izazvati probavne tegobe.

Kombinacija oba je česta u domaćim receptima: eritritol za teksturu + stevija za jaču slatkocu.

 1. Stevia 

A) Nature and effects:

Natural sweetener obtained from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant.

B) Calories: 0 kcal, does not raise blood sugar → ideal for diabetics and people with IR (insulin resistance)

C) Digestion: it does not ferment in the intestines, there is no flatulence.

D) Taste: it can have a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially in larger quantities.

E) When to use?

- For sweetening drinks, homemade cakes and desserts that do not require baking.

- When you want absolutely no sugar and minimal impact on blood sugar.

 2. Erythritol 

A) Nature and effects:

Sugar alcohol, naturally present in fruit, but industrially produced from starch.

B) Calories: practically 0 kcal, does not raise blood sugar significantly.

C) Digestion: usually well tolerated in small amounts, but >50 g per day can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea.

D) Baking: excellent for baking because it maintains texture and volume, does not crystallize easily like stevia.

E) High doses: studies mention a possible risk of increased blood clotting, but this is only relevant in extreme amounts (>100 g/day).

F) When to use:

- For baking cakes, homemade chocolates and waffles because it gives the right texture and crunch.

- When you want a combination of “low sugar” and good food structure.

Conclusion:

- Stevia: ideal for drinks and desserts where texture is less important, IR friendly 

- Erythritol: ideal for baking and cakes, gives structure, but in large amounts can cause digestive problems.

The combination of both is common in homemade recipes: erythritol for texture + stevia for stronger sweetness.
