More than Diabetic Chocolate?
How Can Chocolate This Good Be Sugar Free?
The secret to our incredibly good diabetic chocolate is....well, it’s a secret. No, not really, but it is simple. We use only the finest quality natural ingredients from exotic places like Africa, South America and Belgium. There are no fillers, preservatives or substitute oils. And an important part of our award-winning diabetic chocolate recipe is the sweetener.
Maltitol is the sweetener used in Amber Lyn diabetic chocolate. It is a reduced calorie and reduced carbohydrate sweetener that has 90% the sweetness of sugar. Maltitol is a member of a family of sweeteners known as sugar alcohols or polyols.
Most of the Maltitol used to sweeten other diabetic chocolate is derived from corn, but ours comes from wheat. Our observation is that wheat based Maltitol may reduce the mild laxative effect that is sometimes experienced after excessive consumption. And, it’s gluten-free.
While Amber Lyn chocolate confections have proven a godsend for diabetics and others who must limit their intake of carbohydrates, it’s not just for diabetics. Our diabetic chocolate is the perfect chocolate for anyone who loves chocolate but wants a healthier lifestyle. Amber Lyn products are much more than diabetic chocolate and we guarantee you won’t be able to tell that it has had no sugar added.
There are numerous benefits that accompany the use of Maltitol in the making of sugarless confectionary products, including diabetic chocolate.
- It does not cause an appreciable increase in serum glucose levels
- It does not promote tooth decay
- It has been approved by the FDA as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe)
- It has only 2.1 cal/gram, compared with 4 cal/gram in sugar
- It has proven useful in the manufacture of sucrose-free chocolate
