INSIDER Partner Series

Sugar consumption has been rising steadily among Americans the last decade.  Reducing sugar intake in our diet is an important approach in reducing obesity, heart disease and diabetes.  Erythritol is a natural, low calorie alternative to sugar that has a zero glycemic response.  It is 50% as sweet as sugar, but offers the same bulking properties, which is why it is used in combination with high intensity sweeteners. 

Jungbunzlauer has physically combined erythritol and stevia together to offer a product that is natural and has the same sweetness and bulking properties as sugar, without the calories.  This technology develops great synergies between the products; greatly reducing the lingering sweetness and off notes associated with stevia and reducing the cooling effect of erythritol.

Come and see why ERYLITE®Stevia is the best alternative to sugar!
