Acai Sweet | Acai | 100% Natural Fruit Sweetener

AcaiSweet™ is the first and only 100% natural, Low Glycemic, Non-Cephalic fruit sweetener.

AcaiSweet™ is so pure it is even acceptable for kids, and has undergone clinical trials in children age 6-18 and adults (diabetic and non-diabetic).

AcaiSweet™ does not contain any ingredients that are considered unacceptable for children.

Ingredients that are commonly seen in other sweeteners include chemicals or artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, Stevia, Agave, maltodextrins, sucrose, maltose, and erythritol. Our scientists do not believe that these ingredients are acceptable for children or adults.

Stevia has been shown to increase insulin secretion through stimulation of the beta cells in the pancreas (Metabolism, 49,2:208-14, 2000), and to elevate blood glucose and fat-storage. Sweeteners that elevate blood glucose and insulin have been proven to increase risk of obesity and diabetes. But the more serious potential effects of Stevia* are Genotoxicity (1) and Mutagenesis (2).

Further, in the United States, Stevia can be sold as a dietary supplement, but not as a sweetener because it has not been approved as a food additive by the government agencies that regulate foods and drugs.
