Searching for a Healthy, Natural, Low Calorie Sugar Substitute?

We all know sugar is not a healthy food. And research has shown that artificial sweeteners may also not be all that good for us. So what we need is a product that is natural, will give us that sweet taste we want, but without the calories and other harmful effects of sugar. We all want that sweet taste, but we have become more and more health-conscious, and we are confused and aren’t sure which way to turn. Sugar increases our trips to the dentist because it causes tooth decay. On the other hand, we are told that artificial sweeteners make us eat more, so we put on the pounds instead of taking them off.

Discover Prebiotic Fructans blended with xylitol and erythritol

Your search ends with two natural wood sugars, Erythritol and Xylitol. Erythritol has no calories to speak of, so if you’re looking to lower your calorie intake as well as your sugar intake, products containing erythritol would be a good way to go. Erythritol is found naturally in various fruits such as grapes, pears and watermelon. It is classified as a zero calorie sweetener, although it technically has 0.2 calories per gram. It is about 70% as sweet as sugar and can be used as a direct sugar alternative in many recipes, even baked goods. Xylitol has half the calories of sugar, so its use can still lower your calorie intake, just not quite as much. And it has the same sweetness as sugar. It occurs naturally in a number of fruits and vegetables, such as plums, strawberries and raspberries. Xylitol can also be used as a direct sugar alternative in recipes.

Using erythritol or xylitol instead of sugar could also lower your dental bill. The oral bacteria that cause tooth decay love to feed on sugar, but don’t like these wood sugars.

So, how do you go about switching from sugar to erythritol or xylitol? Life Energy Foods has the answer in its prebiotic products, Frē® and Vim®. These products combine fiber-rich prebiotic fructans with erythritol (Frē®) and xylitol (Vim®) to not only provide the sweetness you want without all the evils of sugar, but also give you good digestive health.
