Thaumatin Sweetener Powder has been used for centuries and is considered a natural, safe and effective sweetener. Since it is a protein, its metabolism in the body is the same as other proteins, which is the biggest difference from many other Sweeteners. Studies have shown that it does not affect blood sugar levels like other sweeteners, nor weight. For this reason it has great benefits for those who suffer from diabetes or high blood sugar. On the other hand, unlike ordinary sugar, thaumatin contains very low calories and energy, but it provides rich nutritions for human body.
