Remove staining, mildew and old finish with a commercial deck cleaning solution. Pressure washing is almost always a must on older decks, but be sure not to use too much pressure. You can damage the wood if it's turned up too high. Usually 1500-2500 PSI is adequate for pressure treated lumber.
Letâs start with the formerâ¦. Sugar alcohols (also known as polyols) are, essentially, part sugar and part alcohol. They occur naturally in plants and common examples include xylitol, maltilol, and sorbitol.
Also, I find that artificial sweeteners donât fully counteract the bitterness of chocolate as well as sugar alcohols. The problem is that sugar alcohols are not all alike (see chart at bottom of page for comparison). Maltitol, in particular, has pretty much the same as sugar in terms of blood sugar impact. When purchasing sugar-free chocolates, it is important to understand sugar alcohols and choose accordingly. In cooking, I like to use erythritol as it has the least impact on blood sugar.
