What is the sweetness level percentage compared to sugar? What is the glycemic value of the syrup?

According to www.sugar-and-sweetness-guide.com the glycemic index of Yacon syrup is 1. I'm not sure how you valuate sweetness level - to me the syrup tastes like brown sugar. I can take a straight teaspoon full if I don't feel like mixing it into my tea no problem...probably wouldn't be able to do that so easily with a teaspoon full of white sugar.

I was disappointed in the product I still ate alot and did not lose weight. I bought two bottles and nothing and I could not reach the company.

Research has shown that the glycemic value of Yacon syrup is 1 - compared to 100 for glucose or 50 for honey and maple syrup. Regarding sweetness let me share an example. I use our yacon syrup on my oatmeal every morning and for me its the perfect sweetness - not too sweet like sugar, but definitely sweet enough to make ordinary plain oatmeal taste delicious. Hope that helps and thanks for your question.

From what I remember, there are natural fruit juice flavorings. If the fructose is under a certain percentage, they can say "no sugar" according to the government standards. They don't raise my blood sugar levels, so I think they are ok. They are not carb free, but I think that doesn't matter, since when I test my blood sugar level, they don't cause a rise in numbers.

It lists 3gms sugar per serving ( with all the fruit in it there has to be fructose) Stevia is listed but I see no "ose) endings in other ingredients. Extracts are not indicated and the fruit content looks like the real deal

Ingredients: Dextrose, Reba (Stevia Extract), Cellulose Powder, Natural flavors. This is from the box. Also says that sugars is &lt;1g, same with carbohydrates which is 0%. Sweetness is the equivaltned of 2 teaspoons of sugar, but is only 1 g.

As this stuff is incredibly sweet, I would guess the equivalent is about 1.5-2 spoonfuls of normal sugar. The spoon included is a little less than 1/4 inch across and about half as deep.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.

7 carbs in 1 oz, it is highly concentrated and very tart. Usually it is diluted and sugar is added for use as a sauce, but you could use stevia or whatever sweetener they prefer. My daughter is diabetic and we LOVE it!!!

There is 1 gram of sugar in a can of the Pure Protein Strawberry Cream flavor drink. I'm not sure if all the otherflavors have the same amount of sugar.

From their website: The fructose that is in PlantFusion is crystalline fructose, which is 98% pure fructose (the other 2% is naturally occurring water and minerals). Crystalline fructose is different than high fructose corn syrup, which is 55% fructose, the rest being glucose. Therefore, crystalline fructose is digested more slowly and has a lower glycemic index than that of regular granulated sure or high fructose corn syrup.

not sure, its very sweet and if you are diabetic don't take it because it raises your sugar level way too high~ for hours~ plus I took the a teaspoon of it and it bother my sugar as well, and I'm not diabetic like my husband is. so it's not for us.

I'm not sure I could tell you the difference when it comes to the sweetness. I think they taste very flavorful...the flavors are strong and delicious. My children prefer these to other lollipops for flavor, so I'd say they are equal in sweetness to sugar or stevia. Hope this helps you some in your decision. They really are delicious, I recommend them.

Pkg does not say, but it has no taste. 70% as sweet as sugar? It adds no sweetness even in big (expensive) dollops.

They offer two varieties . . . one made with real sugar, and one without. I don't know what the sweetening is in the low-cal version, but there has to be something added for taste. I use the one with real sugar.
