Natural Keto Alternatives

Stevia, monk fruit, glycerol, and chicory root are recommended as keto-safe, non-toxic options that do not raise blood glucose or meaningfully disrupt the gut biome when pure. Glycerol is a mild sweet-tasting fuel substrate that is well-tolerated, non-toxic, and does not disrupt the biome. Pure monk fruit performs well across all four evaluation dimensions. Chicory root may cause fermentation and bloating in very high doses, but the article says this is less pronounced than with sugar alcohols. Stevia products diluted with sugar alcohols inherit sugar alcohol biome problems.
