Proven Weight Loss Results:
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
