RxSugar is a natural sugar. Per the FDA, it will now be excluded from Nutrition Facts labels as a Sugar or Added Sugar because it is not metabolized by the human body in the same way as table sugar. It is ideal for diabetics, those looking for a nautral sugar alternative, or for weight loss because it has fewer calories, produces only negligible increases in blood glucose or insulin levels, and does not promote dental decay. RxSugar has 90% less Calories than traditional Sugar, Zero Net Carbs & Zero Glycemic. It also does not taste like an artificial sweetener because it isn't one.
