  1. Can stevia, erythritol, xylitol, molasses, raw honey, or Yacon syrup be substituted for the rice malt syrup, and if so, what would the appropriate measurements be? I only consume rice products from the Himalayas due to arsenic in rice, especially in brown rice, and it is impossible to tell where ingredients are sourced in a ready-made product.

    There has been a huge amount of research done in this area over the last several years, and I\’m surprised that health coaches, nutritionists, and advocates in this day and age are still recommending and using rice-based ingredients, organic included, not proved to be from the Himalayas.

    Thank you.
