Stevia and Blue Agave Top Recommendations From Dr. Oz For Weight Loss And Diabetics

2009-11-19T07:32:00.006-06:00

Dr Oz from ABC show ran a segment on weight loss recently. The patient he was working with was addicted to sugar and need to eliminate sugar from her diet. The patient was reported to be addicted to sugar using over 5 packets of sugar at a time. Dr. Oz recommended two natural sweetener products for her to use : Blue Agave and Stevia.

Diabetes and obesity statistics around the world are extremely high. The food industry has been spinning off healthier foods as a proactive trend that started over a decade ago. Today, the terms ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ are consumers’ preferred terms in healthy food.

Organic Blue Agave- this natural sweetener extracted from the heart of the Blue Agave plant has been consumed for thousands of years. It is sweeter than regular sugar and Agave is a low glycemic Index (GI) sweetener. It is slowly absorbed into the body preventing spikes of blood sugar, so a little goes a long way. Use this delicacy instead of table sugar or for baking.

Stevia based sweeteners offer a combination of positive benefits: natural, high intensity, and zero calories and zero carbs. Stevia-based high purity sweeteners are natural. Stevia is 200-300 times stronger than table sugar and has been a proven product for weight loss and diabetic patients.

Application for this sweetener is growing everyday and this natural sweetener has both favorable physical and functional benefits. Natural stevia-based sweeteners are compatible for use in a wide array of foods, beverages, and dietary supplements. Artificial sweeteners with aspartame and sugar are likely to be the main substitution targets for emerging stevia sweeteners, and beverages will be the initial main application.

In the US the FDA only granted the first no objection letters for Reb-A’s (Rebaudioside –A) use in foods in December 2008 to Cargill. Until then, dried stevia leaves and extracts could only be used in dietary supplements (since 1995). In addition, stevia is expected to be used as a part substitute for sugar and also used in combination with other artificial sweeteners in the emerging phase of lifecycle.
Stevia RA 97 is now recognized as a natural sweetener and not just a dietary supplement. This will bring stevia to main stream quickly.

All of our flavor drops use a hint of stevia to enhance the flavoring and not sweeten it. Try our natural liquid stevia sweetener and see why this product is gaining in popularity.

Dr. Oz knows all about the benefits and attributes of both blue gave and natural stevia.

2009-11-06T06:45:00.005-06:00

Dieticians and Nutritionists recently conducted their annual conference and expo in Denver in October. Over 800 of these professionals were sampled with natural flavor concentrates that contain just a hint of stevia and 0 carbs.

For the first time, Dieticians and Nutritionists have a go to product that serves as low cost alternative no carb product to recommend to their patients and consumers alike.

Stevia is Sweeter Than Sweet!

2009-10-05T07:42:00.005-05:00

Stevia Is Sweeter Than Sweet!

Talk about a product in the news. One only has to google the word stevia to find hundreds of websites, blogs and forums dedicated to advancing the popularity of stevia. Our storyline is unique but our research is the essence from dozens of popular online sites, blogs and articles dedicated to advancing stevia as a natural sweetener.

Stevia is most recently rumored to be poised to save the beverage industries sagging sales as reported in Beverage News, 2009. Stevia natural sweetener enhances flavorings and that is expected to be the tipping point to mainstream, and serving as a catalyst to a flavoring revolution for flavored water and all other bottled beverages and food products.

So what’s behind this tipping point anyway? There are basically two components.

1. GRAS Stevia (RA97 Extract) allows you to call stevia a natural liquid sweetener. Before the GRAS approval by the FDA stevia was only able to be used as a dietary supplement, and that’s a big deal.

2. Consumers are finally learning that we’re drinking more calories than ever from beverages, juices and sodas that are either flavored artificially, or are sweetened using high fructose corn syrup, especially for children's drinks that amount to only sweetened water. Combine these two significant components and developments and you have a product, whose time has come.

Stevia is an herb from South American that is naturally 200-300 times sweeter than sugar and has no calories. That’s where our unique storyline gets its headline: sweeter than sweet. Stevia tastes naturally sweet and stevia is considered a highly beneficial product that can be used in all beverages and foods and it is virtually free of calories, so people watching their weight are in love with stevia. Stevia is great for children, since it been reported to prevent cavities. Diabetics are equally excited about a natural sweetener alternative.

Here's an image of our liquid stevia sweetener.

When it comes to your health, for many people stevia is a great health choice. Here's an image of our stevia liquid sweetener. It’s been reported to both help reduce obesity as well as to lower blood sugar levels. There are no known reports of any government agency in any countries indicating any public health concern whatsoever in connection with the use of stevia in foods or beverages. Stevia has many favorable and exciting health benefits and it is completely non-toxic. Stevia, also known as Stevia Rebaudiana or Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni, is one of the most health restoring herbs on the earth.

Here’s a short perspective on sweeteners. Are you one of those people who count calories and prefer to stay away from artificial sweeteners such as Splenda or Equal? Stevia is the safe, all natural alternative to sugar and chemical sweeteners, such as NutraSweet. The sweetness of Stevia is much different compared to the sweetness of other natural sweeteners, sugar, or artificial sweeteners, but tastes great.

Are there any effects from stevia? The key isolate of Stevia, stevioside, is considered safe and without side effects. There are no known side effects associated with the use of this natural sweetener reported as of this writing.

Diabetics love stevia. Stevia is an ideal choice for diabetics and is becoming increasingly recommended for those suffering from diabetes. Aspartame makes diabetes worse along with sugar, while stevia is used to treat it in Germany, and Japan. Individuals suffering from diabetes, hyperglycemia, or obesity, or other serious ailment should consult with a qualified medical doctor prior to using stevia. The sweet leaf as it is often referred to be used for diabetes, obesity, cavities, hypertension, fatigue, depression, sweet cravings, and infections.

Stevia is also considered healthy for other reasons, but most importantly for diabetics: stevia stimulates the release of insulin and normalizes the response to glucose, particularly in type 2 diabetes, and is also used a therapeutic remedy for hyperglycemia. Stevia is heat stable to 392 degrees Fahrenheit so is great for baking and cooking. Stevia is a helpful aid in weight loss due to the fact that it contains no sugar, no calories and has been shown to reduce craving for sweets and fatty foods. Stevia is being touted as a safe and natural sweetener that is an alternative to artificial sweeteners.

There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t see an advertisement or two for stevia sweeteners. As a product like stevia becomes more familiar and popularized by advertising campaigns, shortly it will become a main stream product and staple for everyday use and are available in most grocery stores as well as online stores. The natural sweetener has been available in powder form and is now available as a liquid sweetener, easier to carry and use.

Secrets Inside A Nutrient Label For Beverages Flavored Water And Why They Are Both Your Friend And Foe

2009-09-28T13:22:00.008-05:00

We look at nutrient labels for different reasons. But, whatever our reasons, everyone needs to know how to use this information more effectively and wisely. When it comes to beverage labels, in general, we’re drinking more calories than ever, so it’s even more important to understand not only the familiar components: calories, carbs and fats, but also deciphering the flavor descriptors for the beverage of choice. When it comes to flavored water, it's just as important.

A beverages flavor descriptor for flavored water and other beverages is a signal to what’s in the drink. Not all descriptions are approved by the FDA, so now you have to deal with fantasy descriptions such as “pure flavoring” and “all natural flavors” along with descriptions that are on point but still just as confusing: “natural”, “artificial”, “natural and artificial”…phew! More on flavoring descriptions later.

The Nutrition Facts Label - An Overview: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) require food and beverage companies like bottled flavor waters to list nutritional information about their products.

"Nutrition facts" labels help consumers make healthful choices about the foods, flavored waters and other beverages they both eat and drink. Here’s how the FDA explains how to understand what’s important and a few of the most common components:

1. The Nutritional Facts Panel- Here are the nutrients you want to drink or eat less of (saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar) as well as those you want to get enough of (vitamins, minerals and fiber). A flavored bottled water, beverage or food that provides 5 percent or less of daily value is considered to be low in that nutrient, while a food is considered a good source of a nutrient if one serving provides 20 percent DV.

2. The Serving Size: This is the first nutrient line on the label and the basis for all the numbers and percentages that follow. If you don't check serving size, you could be drinking more calories than you realize, even in something as simple as flavored water. For example, a single serving of your favorite fruit juice is typically one cup, not two, so you’re normal drinking glass could be doubling your actual calorie intake, doubling the calories, fat, carbohydrates, etc. without you even realizing it.

3. Calories: This tells you the number of calories in a serving. Also listed are the calories from fat and sodium. For example, a one-cup serving of typical juice or flavored water has 120 calories per cup and there are 2 servings per bottle, of which 60 or about 50 percent are from carbs. If you're looking to limit carbs, you might choose products with 40 percent or less carbs.

4. The Nutrients: This box lists what's in the beverage, including any added nutrients, fats or sugars. Ingredients are listed in order by weight, from the largest to the smallest. So if you want to cut back on sodium or sugar, don't choose a beverage, flavored water or food product with sugar as the first ingredient. And don't be tricked by different forms of fat and sugar listed with unfamiliar names. If you want to know how much sugar is really in a product, look for what we call the “osis” words that end in "ose" -sucrose, dextrose, fructose - as well as more common synonyms: corn syrup, molasses and honey.

5. Descriptors: What does “pure flavoring” or “all natural” really mean? What does "light", "fat-free" and "low-sodium" really mean? Here's how the FDA defines these words: low-saturated fat (one gram or less per serving); low-sodium (140 milligrams or less); low-cholesterol (20 milligrams or less and 2 grams or less of saturated fat); low-calorie (40 calories or less). Light beverages and foods have two-thirds the calories of the regular variety. Note: It’s important to understand that just because a product is low-fat or low-sugar that does not necessarily me low calories. Here' an example of our flavor concentrate nutrient label.

6. According to the FDA, there are really only three approved flavor descriptors, well 4 if you include spices. Here’s a brief summary and some of the more common language used:

A. Natural- oil, essence or extractive, distillate, or any product which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit, or fruit juice whose significant function is flavoring rather than nutritional.

B. Artificial- any additive used to impart flavor not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice.

C. Natural & Artificial- A combination of natural and artificial flavorings.

So, when it comes to flavoring descriptors for the flavored water or beverage you drink, you need to look further when a beverage touts, “pure flavoring”. Look deeper at fruit juices, they taste great but are loaded with high fructose corn syrups, even though they are natural flavorings. Look for alternative beverages that allow you to get all the flavoring with none of the calories, carbs and fats.

Our recommendation is to search and drink more flavored water. There is a wide selection of products to choose from. Be careful and pick the ones with 0 calories, 0 Carbs, 0 Fats. You can also make your own flavored water by cutting up slices of fruit. Search for natural flavoring additives and concentrates with 0 calories, 0 carbs, 0 fats is another low cost alternative to high caloric beverages. These unique flavoring drops are new to the market and let you enhance the flavor of water, teas, coffees, even vodkas with 0 calories. Check out a nutrient label that is right on point for flavoring concentrates.

When it comes to your weight and good health, searching for low cost alternatives to beverages makes good sense. Flavored water with natural flavoring concentrates could be end up becoming your “perfect diet drink”!

How Flavor Blends are Created for Flavoring Concentrates

2009-09-01T07:16:00.009-05:00

Our flavorists work with us and our taste panels to create the perfect blend and combination of flavorings for specific flavoring application. Blends used in flavored waters are really different from blends used in flavor drops for coffee for example. No matter what the application, our flavorists have a lot to consider when developing flavors used as flavor concentrates.

Finding Flavor Balance is a key factor for flavored waters

Balancing is key factor throughout the flavoring development process. Flavorists work hard to find the right amount of each flavor concentrate used in the blend to achieve the right flavor profile. This included the strength of the flavors to be blended. In a pomegranate-acai blend for example, the flavor would 90-95% pomegranate because acai is strong with a woody flavor that is typically more pleasant in smaller amounts.

Communications

There are a couple of ways flavorists connect the flavor with us and our customers. The 1st is the flavorist has a clear target, such as matching an existing flavor to the newer flavoring. Other times the flavorist let us determine percentage of each flavor we wish to use in the blend.

Sometimes this is a better approach because it lets the us determine which flavor we want most to dominate in the finish flavor concentrate, or they can even provide us varied levels of concentration and let the us and our customer go through a taste testing preference.

Whenever blending Yum Drops flavor concentrates always choose an anchor flavor. That's one you really like and know. Then choose another flavor concentrate to blend it with. Back to our pomegranate-acai blend. Always use the anchor at 3:1. That means 3 drops of pomegranate to every drop of acai flavoring concentrate.

Consider blending flavor concentrates together. Be creative-the only rule is that it taste great! Some of the best flavored waters and flavored teas are blended flavors. Our most popular combination is peach-mango so we actually made it a flavor blended concentrates. It works as well in flavored waters as it does in flavored teas.

Summer time makes a job of keeping drinks cold and refreshing. Not enough ice and flavored water and other beverages gets warm too quickly. Too much ice and your favorite flavoring dilutes.

Try putting 4 drops of Yum Drops Flavoring concentrates in an ice cube tray. Add three ice cubes in total, one of which has the extra flavoring concentrate. As the flavoring concentrate melts and your drink gets cold, your flavored water is as strong as the very first sip you took.

It's a perfect way to blend flavors together also. I like strawberry flavored water. I use vanilla flavor concentrates in my ice. The vanilla brings out some very interesting taste experiences with the strawberry flavored water.

When is comes to summer time drinks, flavored water using Yum Drops Flavor concentrates is a low cost alternative to bottled flavored waters and high calroic juices, sodas and beverages.

Flavored water storyline continued

2009-08-25T06:44:00.009-05:00

We posted about the perfect thirst quencher being water and how using Yum Drops flavoring concentrates helps you drink more water because it tastes better. Here's the rest of the story...

Yesterday morning I was sipping apple flavored water and it was exactly what the doctor ordered, figuratively speaking. That afternoon I had no desire for something sweet. I thought a nice citrus taste would be in order and decided on a more basic flavoring for a round of golf in 80 degree weather that requires plenty of water to stay hydrated. Lemon/lime flavored water sounded exactly like what I was looking for, so lemon/lime flavored water it was. Its flavored water with an attitude and taste just like fresca

You simply can't do that with bottled flavored waters available on the market today until now. Bottled flavor water is too expensive also and you can;t consume it everywhere you go. That's why we always recommend using tap water for your flavored water needs. It's usually free, always available in most clubs and businesses.

Besides making your own flavored water at pennies a serving, you can consitently make perfect flavored water each and every time because you control the subtleness and boldness of the flavoring. That varies as frequently as your flavors. I like it bolder when I have a craving for something sweeter but when I'm in a sports activity I really want it subtle to the taste so I can drink as much flavored water as I need to stay properly hydrated.

Flavored water is simple and straight forward to blend:

1 start with 4-6 drops per 8 oz of water

2 use tap water

3 taste and adjust accordingly

4 go to our flavor zone technique for more information

Over 2o flavor concentrates makes over 50 different variations of flavored water. Mix and match or use a singe flavor to blend you own flavored water. Our 1/2 oz bottle makes 5 gallons of perfect flavored water.

Try our new and unique line of flavoring concentrates and blend your own flavored waters now. Hopefully you will like them as much as our most recent customer testimonial reveals.

That's the full storyline.
