Nestle Discovers 'Breakthrough' Method To Cut Sugar In Chocolate By 40% Without Affecting Taste (theguardian.com)
Nestle and its scientists have discovered how to "structure sugar differently" to reduce the amount of sugar in some of its products by 40%. What's more is that it can be done reportedly without compromising the taste. The Guardian reports: The new process is said to make sugar dissolve faster so that even when less is used, the tongue perceives an identical level of sweetness. It plans to patent the process, discovered by its scientists, which it says will enable it to significantly decrease the total sugar in its confectionery products. A four-finger milk chocolate Kit Kat currently contains 23.8g of sugar, a plain (milk chocolate) Yorkie contains 26.9g and a medium peppermint Aero has 24.9g of sugar. If the amount of sugar in each of these products was cut by 40% the new amounts would be 14.3g, 16.1g and 14.9g respectively.
Now I'll have to eat nearly twice as much to maintain my obesity.
People on slashdot would have a hard time multiplying a number by 0.4
Oh my God! They're eating DOGS!
I would argue that the first step in realizing that goal is to avoid Nestle products at all costs.
How the hell do you raise your tail?
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
Well, and Dove... Dove is better than Hershey's, but not as good as I remember Nestle chocolate being.
Dove does taste better than Hershey's but please note that it's intended to be a body soap.
Yes I agree, I live in central Europe and if you ever have tasted LÃderach (Swiss) or Bachhalm or Zotter (Austrian) you would not touch any Nestle dreck with a 10 ft pole.
If you really lived in Central Europe, you would know that Poles, although excellent people, rarely get that tall.
