Ingredients for Better Health
Improving nutrition requires more than one approach. Low- and no-calorie sweeteners and dietary fibers help make lower-sugar, higher-fiber foods and beverages possible—expanding consumer choice while supporting healthier eating patterns.
Low- and no-calorie sweeteners help reduce added sugars and calories when used in place of sugar, supporting goals such as weight management and diabetes care without sacrificing taste. At the same time, dietary fibers help close one of the nation’s largest nutrition gaps by increasing fiber intake and supporting digestive health, heart health, healthy blood sugar management, and weight management.
Leading health organizations recognize the role of both ingredients as part of a healthy dietary pattern, providing consumers, patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with practical tools to support individualized nutrition and health goals.
