CARELA Glucose Soothing Beverage Cranberry Cooler

I was initially excited to see this product providing bitter melon in a beverage. I have a family member with diabetes and I have some degree of insulin resistance as shown by bloodwork. I have tried bitter melon pills before with some slight improvement. Unfortunately, this product includes sucralose which I personally do not believe should be used by anyone.I would advice anyone considering using the product to do some searching on the increasing research on artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners may actually cause more insulin resistance in the body than sugar does. Bitter melon has shown some potential to help with insulin resistance and improve glucose levels, but it would seem likely that the added sucralose would negate some, if not all of, that benefit. In addition, there are many reported side effects of sucralose including diarrhea, headaches, and joint pain.Of the 110 studies that were used to give Sucralose approval as a food additive, only two were done on humans and one of those human studies only lasted for 4 days! And considering that Sucralose is chemically more similar to DDT than sugar, I'll never take it again, especially after having had side effects from it myself.Stevia would have been a better choice as a sweetener for this product, since it has been used for centuries safely by many people. Not everyone can use Stevia, but it is generally a much safer option than sucralose.

Finally found a Tea beverage that I enjoy, I have tried them all and this brand surpasses them all.

A really tasty drink both for people concerned about their sugar and not. Highly recommend giving it a try!
