A new sweetener

A new sugar and artificial sweeteners substitute is making its way to the dieter’s table these days. Its name is oligofructose. It is a subgroup of the inulin – a type of natural fiber.

Oligofructose is not digestible in the human intestines, therefore it has a very low caloric value. It acts as soluble fiber in the digestive tract.

One more good property: it is considered to be a prebiotic – a substance that promotes the growth of probiotics (bifidobateria). Oh, one more. It bakes as regular sugar;-)

If you want to try it, you can by it from http://www.lowcarbspecialties.com/sweet_perfection.html
