Whey Low: Whey cool, or whey out there?
Reduced-calorie sugar. Does it sound too good to be true? Manufacturers of Whey Low claim that's exactly what they've created. The alternative to traditional sugar is made from natural sugars -- sucrose, fructose, and lactose -- not artificial ingredients. The product's developer was inspired to create the alternative after his wive was diagnosed with diabetes. He claims that the product combines the three natural sugars in such a way that they aren't fully absorbed by the body. According the Whey Low website, the product has 75% fewer calories than table sugar.
The University of Maryland is currently testing the product to see if it holds up to the manufacturer's claims. If, as claimed, an interaction between the three ingredients causes the sucrose and lactose to pass unabsorbed into the large intestine, Whey Low could be a healthier addition to your grocery store shelves.

Hmmm, I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open for more info on this. I currently use Xylitol and love it! It too is natural and tastes just like sugar ... my kids can't tell any difference. It is also great for your teeth. Agave is another good one. But I am always on the look out for other safe sugar alternatives. With the obesity problem, I'm surprised that one of the major soda companies has not figured out a way to use a safe ingredient in their diet drinks.
