ZSweet at the Fancy Food Show

Consumers have responded enthusiastically to its refreshingly natural taste, which doesn't eclipse the sweetness of sugar, texture that is consistent with sugar and ease of use in cooking, baking and flavoring of hot and cold drinks. And the natural taste is no coincidence. Unlike the numerous artificial sweeteners that currently crowd shelves and restaurant tabletops in a nearly half a billion dollar market segment, ZSweet ® all natural contains no chemical ingredients or caloric and carbohydrate fillers or dietary supplements.

ZSweet ® all natural is unique in its proprietary blend of extracts from fruits and vegetables with erythritol, a naturally occurring polyol or sugar alcohol, which actually contains neither sugar nor alcohol, but shares parts of their chemical structures. erythritol, unlike other polyols, is highly digestible and is unlikely to cause side effects, such as bloating or cramping.

ZSweet ® all natural also offers tangible benefits for people concerned about blood sugar and those prone to obesity. A recent clinical study by Toronto based, Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc. confirmed no elevation or reduction in blood sugar from a 15-gram serving. The Kosher certified sweetener has also been endorsed by Nicholas Perricone, M.D. in his New York Times best selling book, "The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet."
