Lakanto - The Delicious and Versatile ZERO CALORIE All-Natural Sweetener That Looks and Tastes Like Sugar!
So you're committed to achieving optimal health (and fighting any health
issues you may be confronted with) and perhaps you've already greatly reduced
or completely eliminated sugar because you know it feeds yeast, ages you quickly
and leads to all kinds of serious degenerative diseases. But let's face it
... there are times when something deliciously sweet is welcomed. Yet, when
we do eat it, many of us feel guilty...
We humans should not feel guilty about our desired to enjoy the sweet
taste.
This desire for sweet-tasting foods and drinks is quite normal. In fact,
our very first food, mother's milk, was warm and sweet and we've formed an
emotional bond with this taste. Trying to fight and use "willpower" to
avoid the desire for the sweet taste is NOT the answer! That would be a losing
battle.
As you know, though, refined white sugar and corn syrup is poison and even
natural sweeteners like agave and honey will feed yeast and make our blood
more acidic. So what choice do you really have?
Introducing LAKANTO, the closest natural sweetener to sugar EVER in terms
of its taste and its versatility ... but NOT in terms of the risks it poses
to your health! In fact, as you will learn below, quite the contrary...
Imagine being able to (again) make sweet treats for yourself and your family
that actually taste like you used sugar ... but that won't have the ill effects
of sugar. Impossible? Not any longer!
And I am thrilled to able to bring this wonderful new zero calorie
all-natural sweeter that has been extremely popular in Japan to the U.S.
Lakanto: Ideal for Baking, Coffee & MUCH More & SAFE for Diabetics!
In the past, if you tried to make a "healthy" birthday cake for
your child or bake cookies for the holidays, you may have resorted to using
agave syrup or honey in your baked goods, feeling that these were better alternatives
to sugar ... but those natural sweeteners DO feed candida and other pathogens.
Unlike sugar and the other natural sweeteners, though, Lakanto
does not feed the harmful yeast (candida) and bacteria in your body.
Lakanto is even safe for diabetics!
And Lakanto, the amazing all-natural sweetener, has:
- Zero calories
- Zero glycemic index
- Zero additives
- No influence on your blood sugar and insulin release
- A one-to-one ratio with sugar -- so it's easy to measure and use.
Lakanto is truly the next generation of healthy sweeteners.
Where Does It Come From? The Lakanto Story in Brief...
Coincidently (if there is such a thing) at the very same time that I began
providing stevia to America, a prominent business man in Japan began a quest
to find an even closer substitute for sugar.
He owned Saraya Corporation, a company with an excellent reputation for
bringing healthy products to the Japanese consumer. In fact, after the war
ended Japan was devastated, and besides starvation and homelessness, sanitation
was a serious concern. Saraya Corporation introduced a gargling machine that
was (and still is) used in schools, businesses, restaurants and hospitals
all over Japan. These gargling machines greatly reduced the number of illnesses
and even saved countless lives.
Saraya Corporation also became the Japanese leader in environmentally safe
cleaning products for personal, home and commercial use. Their excellent products
are made with coconut oil. Today Saraya Corporation devotes millions of dollars
each year to provide protection and safe homelands to the pygmy elephants
living in the regions where their coconuts are harvested.
Just as I do, Mr. Saraya has a deep interest in our children's health so
he challenged his team of brilliant researches and scientists to develop the
perfect natural sugar substitute. After two and a half years of relentless
experimentation, Lakanto was introduced and has now become Japan's third
most popular sweetener...behind sugar (and sadly) aspartame.
I believe that the synchronicity between Mr Saraya's intentions and my own
allowed our worlds to eventually be drawn together, and today Lakanto can
be a part of your world as well.
Now you can see why my friend Saraya-san and I are both excited to be offering
his patented sweet "secret" to the United States.
Lakanto IS safe for anyone ... kids, diabetics, people watching their
weight, hypoglycemics, and, of course, anyone with a sweet tooth. And
yes, Lakanto gives you the flavor of sugar, without the many downsides...that's
why we love it.
What Is Lakanto Made From?
The two natural ingredients in Lakanto are erythritol and the supersweet
extract of the luo han guo fruit from China.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol naturally found in grapes, pears, mushrooms,
soy sauce, cheese, wine and beer, so it and has been part of the human diet
for thousands of years.
You may be familiar with other sugar alcohols like xylitol, sorbitol, and
malitol used in sugar-free candies and chewing gum. But erythritol is different
and much better than these other sugar alcohols because it is FERMENTED.
Yes, it is made by fermenting the sugar in corn.
Many people have trouble with foods sweetened with sugar alcohols. Diarrhea
and gas and bloating are frequent complaints. But Lakanto does not cause
diarrhea, gas and bloating. We believe it may be because Lakanto is made
by fermentation while the other sugar alcohols are made from hydrogenation.
Body Ecology specially requested Saraya produce our Lakanto using GMO-free erythritol for the US market. It was costly but they were able to do this special order for us.
Erythritol is:
Erythritol is sweet, but when used alone in a product does not taste
like sugar. Only when it was combined with the sweet-tasting and medicinal
fruit luo han guo...in a unique patented process...was Saraya able
to create an amazing replica of sugar
The exotic luo han guo fruit grows high in the Chinese mountains, in
the Guangxi province.
The Chinese have been using luo han guo fruit as a sweetener and natural
remedy for years. They dry the fruit, which has a sweet toffee or caramel-like
flavor, and use it in teas to ease fever, coughing and phlegm. They even use
the tea for digestive troubles.
In fact, the Chinese call luo han guo the "longevity
fruit," because the people who live where it is cultivated
often reach the ripe old age of 100!
Scientists have studied luo han guo and its health benefits extensively,
and they've found that this rare fruit has amazing health properties.
Studies have shown that mogrosides (compounds found in the extract of luo
han guo) have these properties:
- Anti-carcinogenic
- Regulate blood sugar
- Able to prevent and decrease oxidative stress related to diabetes
- Prevent tooth decay
- Anti-inflammatory
- Inhibit tumor growth
- Antioxidant
- Antihistiminic
The luo han guo fruit is naturally sweet. In fact, the special extract is
300 times sweeter than sucrose!
Because
luo han guo extract is sweet without affecting blood sugar, it is perfect
for a healthy sugar substitute.
Luo han guo extract in Body Ecology's Lakanto has:
- Zero calories. Your body does not break down the unique chemical
components of the fruit like other simple sugars and carbohydrates.
- Zero glycemic index. Because your body metabolizes luo han guo
differently, your blood glucose and insulin levels do not rise like they
do with other sugars.
- Zero additives. Lakanto is made of the natural extract of the luo
han guo fruit and erythritol.
Together, the extract
of luo han guo and erythritol make one of the best healthy natural sweetener
discoveries of the century ... LAKANTO!

QUESTION: "The other natural sweetener
you have long recommended, stevia, tastes great in drinks, but not so
great in baked goods. Sometimes I like to bake though. Are you sure
I can really bake with Lakanto?"
ANSWER: Lakanto is easy to use and tastes great in all kinds
of baked goods because it bakes evenly, unlike most other natural
sugar substitutes! The texture of your baked goods will be excellent!
When you first taste it right out of the package, you'll notice that
Lakanto actually has a flavor that is reminiscent of maple syrup but
in a crystal form. It also looks a lot like turbinado sugar, the coarse
granulated brown sugar you might have seen in the health food store,
but Lakanto has none of the calories or health risks.
You can use Lakanto like you would use regular sugar. In fact, it is
a one to one substitute for sugar.
