Hi Antonino,

(re: where to buy Lakanto) I haven't seen it in stores where I live but it can be bought online at places like Amazon or Sara ya. It's a bit pricey.

Sugar Free Chocolate

Hi Antonino,

Another possibility is Lakanto. I tried a sample recently and it tastes a lot like cane sugar, bulk-wise is equal when replacing refined sugar in a recipe.

Is Lakanto the miracle low GI sweetener of the century?

According to its creators, Lakanto is the closest sugar substitute and, unlike stevia, it is great for baked goods and coffee and has no aftertaste. Lakanto has several health benefits, among them:

  • Zero calories
  • Zero glycaemic index therefore no influence on blood sugar and insulin release
  • Zero additives, colorants, preservatives;
  • Tastes like sugar, smells like sugar, looks like sugar;
  • 100% natural, vegan ingredients;
  • Safe for diabetics, hypoglycemics, kids and overweight peopl e;
  • Does not feed harmful yeast (candida) and/or bacteria;
  • Will not cause cavities or contribute to tooth decay;
  • It does not promote aging and/or suppress the immune system;
  • Easy to measure and use because it has a one-to-one ratio with sugar;
  • Does not absorb moisture so wont harden with age.
