New Sugar Substitute
A new alternative sugar/sweetener called Zsweet has been launched by Ventana Health, Inc., San Clemente, CA. The “Z” stands for zero calories, zero aftertaste, zero glycemic effect and zero worries. According to the company, the benefits from Zsweet are numerous, especially since erythritol has been shown not to increase blood sugar levels and is healthy for diabetics. In addition, tests have shown that the basic ingredient in Zsweet has the highest level of digestibility and tolerability of the sugar alcohols. Studies have also revealed that erythritol prevents dental cavities. (See “Suppliers Corner” for more information on Zsweet’s shrink sleeve packaging from Ameri-Seal.)
