All-Natural Sweetener, ZSWEET™, Breaks New Ground
New Sugar Sweetner keeps blood sugar levels low, digests well and tastes good
San Clemente, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2005 -- Ventana Health, Inc. today announced the launch of Zsweet™—a new, all natural, zero calorie sweetener approved by the FDA. Zsweet™ is an all natural sweetener that provides a safer alternative to chemical sugar substitutes. Zsweet™ flows, measures, and tastes like sugar without the unpleasant aftertaste.
Zsweet™ has been favorably mentioned in the New York Times best selling book, “The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet” written by Nicholas Perricone, M.D. According to Dr. Perricone, artificial sweeteners and hidden sugars, such as fructose corn syrup, commonly found in beverages, are causing a host of serious health problems including obesity. To combat obesity and other such health problems, Perricone identifies Zsweet™ as an alternative all natural sweetener.
“Zsweet™ was developed to enhance the healthy and balanced lifestyle of our community with a nutritious product of the highest integrity and quality without sacrificing taste,” says Tim Avila, creator of Zsweet™ and chief executive officer of Ventana Health Inc. “Our goal was to produce a sweetener that was sweet in taste and good for the body,” explains Avila.
Zsweet™ is made with a blend of Erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol, and food extracts commonly found in fruits and vegetables. Zsweet™ does not use herbal extracts or dietary supplements and does not chemically alter any ingredients.
Benefits from Zsweet™ are numerous especially since Erythritol has been shown not to increase blood sugar levels and is healthy for diabetics. In addition, tests have displayed that the basic ingredient in Zsweet™ has the highest level of digestibility and tolerability of the sugar alcohols. Studies have also revealed that Erythritol prevents dental cavities.
“Unlike other sugar substitutes such as Splenda®, Equal® and Sweet ‘n’ Low®, Zsweet™ uses no caloric or carbohydrate fillers,” says Avila. “Zsweet™ does not contain any chemically altered materials, not even in trace amounts.”
Zsweet™ can be used like sugar in equivalent measurements in hot or cold beverages, blended drinks, over cereal, and in a wide variety of recipes.
Zsweet™ will be available online January 2006 and will have distribution throughout the US. For more information about the Zsweet™, please visit www.Zsweet.com
