All sweeteners are
not the same
Learn what makes kabocha extract sweetener the next big thing in the sugar
replacement industry and how BochaSweet is leading the way.
Sweeteners on the market today are divided into two groups based on the
number of carbon atoms in the molecular structure.
You have the 6-carbon sugars & 5-carbon sugars.
6-carbon sugars like fructose and glucose found in maple syrup,
coconut sugar, and cane sugar, are considered high-glycemic sweeteners also
known as "bad calories or empty calories".
Why?
That’s because they need a lot of insulin to be processed by the body,
so they aren't burned off as energy and tend to get stored as fat.
On the other hand, 5-carbon sugars (commonly referred to as pentose),
such as xylitol, are low-glycemic sweeteners and are known as "good
calories."
Which means they DO NOT require insulin to be metabolized.
Therefore, there is no insulin stimulation. In the metabolization process,
fat cannot exist without insulin.
That's why scientists recommend 5-carbon xylitol for a granular
and powdered sugar replacement. It's a healthier option that won't cause
an insulin response or contribute to fat accumulation in the body.

What’s different about the xylitol in BochaSweet?
To explain this, we need to go back to the 1900s when xylitol was first
manufactured.
You see, back during World War 2, the Germans faced a massive sugar
shortage. This left them desperately looking for a substitute. At the time
Finland was already using xylitol from birch trees as a sugar alternative.
Since Germany had an abundance of birch trees, they followed suit. Ever
since then, xylitol has always been made from hardwood, birch trees,
corn cob, and pretty much waste material.
In 1963, the FDA approved xylitol as a safe and healthy alternative to
sugar and artificial sweeteners. It is now used in over 40 countries as a
special dietary and nutritional additive.
However, when the Chinese and Japanese entered the sugar replacement
industry, they found a xylitol made from kabocha was superior. These
pumpkins had a higher and more potent pentose content, and the xylitol derived from them could be metabolized by cells without insulin. This
became a significant advantage, especially for those struggling to maintain
healthy blood sugar levels.
The best way to understand the difference is to taste xylitol from birch or
corn and compare it with our BochaSweet kabocha extract (xylitol). You'll
notice that our xylitol is superior in taste and quality.
03
How do we extract the more potent xylitol?
We use an all-natural, low-temperature extraction process for
our xylitol. It begins with organically grown NON-GMO kabochas as the raw ingredient. This multi-step extraction process results in a healthier and better tasting version of xylitol.
In contrast, other sweeteners that contain xylitol are usually
extracted from corn or birch tree using a three-step process.
This extraction method yields an inferior final product that is
much easier and cheaper to produce.
Our extraction process for xylitol is more complex, difficult,
expensive, and time-consuming compared to the extraction from
corn or birch tree. We go the extra mile to ensure a high-quality
product that sets us apart from others in the industry.

The REAL truth about why some people face GI distress
When switching to a sugar replacement, many people experience GI
distress, cramps, and diarrhea. However, what you may not realize is
that these issues are often caused by other sweeteners you
unknowingly consume.
To achieve the best results and avoid these problems, it's crucial to
stick exclusively to BochaSweet and eliminate other six-carbon sugars
from your diet. It requires patience and commitment to the process.
Since our sweetener is derived from an all-natural ingredient, it takes
time to experience a higher quality of life. Trying it just once won't give
you the full benefits. You'll notice the difference and potentially feel
better initially, but the real proof will become evident over time.
So, if you’re ready to transform your health and experience truly positive
changes, we invite you to take the BochaSweet Pledge.
By taking this pledge, you commit to incorporating BochaSweet into your
daily routine while eliminating other harmful sugars from your diet. Our
