Sugarlite is a sweetener by Zydus Healthcare.
Its ingredients are sucrose, steviol glycoside and polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
The product is a blend of sugar and stevia glycosides to achieve twice the sweetness of sugar.
The theory is that people use only half the sugar that they otherwise would, thereby achieving a 50% reduction of calories from Sugar.
We support efforts to reduce sucrose consumption as a food safety enhancement for most people. Especially so when this is achieved without artificial sweeteners.
Steviol glycosides from the Stevia plant are 30 to 320 times sweeter than sucrose. It is reportedly heat-stable, pH-stable, and does not ferment, and also does not induce a glycemic response when ingested since humans cannot metabolize stevia. It stimulates the insulin secretion through potentiation of the ?-cell, preventing high blood glucose after a meal. The acceptable daily intake (ADI) for steviol glycosides, has been established to be 4 mg/kg body weight/day.
