Hello,

What can I use to sweeten all my juices up some more? I can't use fake sugars because they give me headaches.

I read the DIY guide and they mention you have to dilute Ethyl Malto in PG. Could I dilute the EM in my flavorings because they probably are PG based? I use 100%VG otherwise.

And is EM a natural sugar? I read about it on Wikipedia and still don't know it is. What about Stevia, the herb? Does that have side effects like any of the fake sugars?

Thank you,
Lori

Ethyl Maltol is natural, and you can dilute the crystals in alcohol instead of PG if you prefer, but yes it will dilute into your flavorings if they are PG based. Stevia works if you don't have problems with it, there are a few posts about it here in my guide.

I've been using stevia a lot lately. I picked up a liquid from GNC that was just stevia and PGA(double score). EM made my juices taste really dry,and the stevia doesn't. I add one drop per 5mls,and it's sweeter,but not candy sweet,if that makes any sense

That sounds perfect:)
