Eight in 10 U.S. adults are actively engaged in reducing sugar from their diets, according to a report from ADM Outside Voice. Certain consumers are attempting to reduce calories by limiting sugar and choosing health-forward foods and beverages. Meanwhile, according to FMCG Gurus Top Ten Trends for 2022, 65% of consumers believe it is okay to include indulgent treats as part of a healthy diet.
These stats make a compelling argument for improved food and beverage options that take blood sugar management into consideration. Whereas most consumers are seeking reduced sugar choices (rather than artificially sweetened), the growing number of plant-based, lower-calorie, and low- or zero- glycemic sugar alternatives offer a wide array of options for making traditionally sweet foods healthier.
New formulation options, advancements in sweetener technology that can improve the taste and experience of a finished product, along with a growing number of recognized blood sugar maintenance nutrients, allows for flexible and creative sugar-conscious food and beverage product development.
