The Sugarlesse™ Story

In December 2011we were helping out at Caffex’s demonstration table in a Whole Foods Market. Sampling was proceeding apace and along with the compliments came the question from quite a few people: “Are these made with sugar?” After a while June, Caffex’s marketing maven, had had enough and said: “Can you make marshmallows without sugar?”

Yes. There are marshmallows already, made with isomalt, specifically for diabetics. Isomalt is a type of sugar alcohol composed of two simple sugars: glucose and mannitol. A great tasting sweetener that is very similar to sugar, it has one very significant drawback - it can cause gastric distress, including flatulence and diarrhea. It is not advisable to consume more than 1.5 oz a day for adults and 3/4 oz for children, which does limit its usefulness.

With isomalt out of the picture, we developed a better solution: Sugarlesse™, a proprietary blend of GRAS (Generally Accepted as Safe by the FDA) natural sweeteners and flavors.


 


Why Is Sugarlesse™ Better?

Better than Equal® (aspartame), Splenda® (sucralose), Truvia® (stevia), and others? It is, because:

Sugarlesse™ is the first natural sugar replacer that is:

Sugarlesse™ Chocolate Naturals & ChocoFudge Squares


To validate Sugarlesse™ in a commercial product we’ve created Chocolate Naturals and ChocoFudge Squares, a new line of gourmet confectionery. 

They evoke the wholesome goodness and texture of old-style chocolate, before the age of super-refined sugar, that while producing very smooth texture, delivers no health benefits.

They are is the first of many products that will be able to utilize the superior functionality and benefits of Sugarlesse™.
