Daily intake of Yacon Syrup produced a significant decrease in body weight, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI), according to a 2009 scientific study published in Clinical Nutrition.
Nature’s SUPERFOOD:
It is low glycemic, low carb and low in calories (13 calories per serving), Yacon Syrup is truly a gift from nature. There are no artificial flavors, preservatives or binders added.
What is Yacon Syrup?
Yacon Syrup originates from the Yacon plant (pronounced yah-KON) of the Andes Mountains in Peru and has been part of the Andean diet for hundreds of years. The yacon juices are extracted from the roots of the yacon plant, then filtered and evaporated in a process very similar to the way Maple syrup is made.
The Yacon plant looks similiar to a sweet potato. Here, the yacon plant is pictured in its original form before being distilled into syrup for consumption.
How Does It Help with Weight Loss?
Yacons contain a high level of fructooligosaccharides, which are natural sugars commonly found in plants. The body resists the process to breakdown these sugars by enzymes during digestion and passes them through the body quickly without retaining the full caloric intake. Because the sugar in Yacon Syrup isn’t digested like normal foods, you can enjoy sweetness without the calories.
SCIENTIFIC STUDY-published in Clinical Nutrition Journal:
Obese and slightly dyslipidemic pre-menopausal women were studied over a 120-day period in a double-blind placebo-controlled experiment. Two doses of yacon syrup were used, 0.29g and 0.14g fructooligosaccharides/kg/day.
At the start and end of the study, anthropometric measurements, blood glucose, calcium, lipid and insulin concentrations and Homeostasis Model Assessment index were determined.
The recommended daily consumption of yacon syrup with no undesirable gastrointestinal effects is 0.14g fructooligosaccharides/kg.
RESULTS
Daily intake of yacon syrup produced a significant decrease in body weight, waist circumference and body mass index over the 120 day period.
Conclusions
Yacon syrup is a good source of fructooligosaccharides and its long-term consumption produced beneficial health effects on obese pre-menopausal women with insulin resistance.
Recommended Uses:
Skip the calories and carbohydrates by replacing your sugar consumption with Yacon Syrup.
Replace sugar with Yacon Syrup while baking things like cookies, cakes, pies, cobblers, brownies—you name it! Replace sugar or honey with Hermosa Peak Yacon Syrup in salad dressings, marinades and bbq sauces. Use in place of your regular syrup on pancakes and waffles. Like Agave, it’s great with coffee or tea. Take one teaspoon before each meal, three times per day.
Review: at first sight this is actually a pretty strange scent when you open the bottle and smell it, it has this sickening sweet scent to it, then when using it my tea it wasnt so bad of course i did actually taste it with my finger and i have to say it would take a lot of getting use to by myself but it is a great idea for low carb people who want to cut carbs and sugar but not the sweetness
