Most monk fruit sweeteners in Kiwi supermarkets contain approximately 99% erythritol and 1% monk fruit extract.
This means you're primarily consuming erythritol, not monk fruit. And your body processes them very differently.
Erythritol is made from corn starch and cannot be digested by your body, which is why many people experience bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort.
Some recent research has raised questions about erythritol’s long-term effects.
If you've tried "monk fruit" and experienced digestive issues, you weren't actually experiencing pure monk fruit — you were reacting to the erythritol.
Let that sink in.
You're paying premium prices for a product labeled "monk fruit" that's over 99% something completely different.
