Yacon Syrup

Features

• What is Yacon syrup?
• Yacon syrup comes from the roots of the South American Yacon plant. With only around 20 calories per spoonful, it’s very low in sugar, with a taste similar to molasses or raisins. Yacon was used by the Incas and in Peru it’s eaten for its nutritional properties and the fact it has few calories and low sugar levels. Yacon syrup contains around 30% to 50% of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a natural sweetener which cannot be broken down easily by the human body. It passes through the digestive tract unmetabolised.
• In a study by Genta et al. it was shown that a daily intake of Yacon syrup produced a significant decrease in body weight, waist circumference and body mass index when given to obese pre-menopausal women.1
• Although not a clinical study, Dr. Oz presented the findings of his experiment in which 29 out of 40 women lost weight by adding Yacon syrup to their diet, without any other changes to their daily habits.
• 73% of the 60 participants lost weight.
• 14 of the women lost 5 pounds or more.
• The average weight loss was 2.9 pounds.
• They lost an average of 1.9 inches around their waists.
• The total pounds that were lost between all of the women was 153 pounds.
• 68% of the participants would recommend Yacon to help lose weight.
• 2007 studies from the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil have shown that consumption of Yacon root, which contains high levels of fructans, may help improve the body’s absorption and retention of minerals like calcium and magnesium, this increasing bone density. The results suggested that Yacon roots (the world’s richest source of FOS) are beneficial in the maintenance of healthy bones and protection against osteoporosis.
