Sweetnol™ is the trademark name for our exclusive, low-calorie sweetener, which combines the best attributes of erythritol and stevia to create a natural sweetener great for calorie counters and people with type 2 diabetes. Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol with a CLEAN SWEET TASTE and used as a sugar substitute. Erythritol in its pure form is a white crystalline powder, not unlike sugar. It is about 70% as sweet as sugar, but has virtually no calories. Many sites claim erythritol is 0 calories, but in reality it is 0.2 calories per gram, almost 99% LESS than sugar. Because the calory count is so small, for labeling purposes erythritol has 0 calorie value. One of the great things about erythritol is the fact it does not affect blood sugar levels. According to many clinical studies, erythritol has also demonstrated it does not affect blood serum glucose OR insulin levels. This has persuaded many researchers to conclude erythritol may be safely used to replace sucrose in foods designed specifically for people with diabetes. Like xylitol and other sugar alcohols, erythritol is actively resistant to oral bacteria, which is the main cause of tooth decay and bad breath. The FDA has approved use of the "Does Not Promote Tooth Decay" health claim in foods containing erythritol. In fact, the FDA likes erythritol so much it has renewed its GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status. In 1931, French chemists isolated and identified the glycosides in stevia which give it its sweet taste: stevioside and rebaudioside. These glycosides were found to be anywhere from 40 - 300 times sweeter than sucrose, able to withstand very high temperatures, and non-fermentable. Stevia is widely used in Japan as a sweetener and is also popular in other countries, such as Brazil, Mexico and Russia. Seelect Tea Sweetnol™ is a great natural alternative to ordinary sugar because it contains less than five calories per one ounce serving, but still achieves the sweetness you're looking for. The glycosides present in stevia which give it its natural sweetness cannot be metabolized by the human body, resulting in a low calorie content. If you're looking to cut calories without sacrificing taste or sweetness, Sweetnol™ is a great choice. Another benefit of using Sweetnol™ is the fact stevia does not raise blood sugar levels in humans and may, in fact, lower them. Consequently, it is beneficial for people with diabetes or those on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Studies have also shown that replacing sugar with stevia in meals may lower blood glucose levels and aid in the control of type 2 diabetes.
