Sweetleaf, a stevia and monk fruit sweetener brand, recently launched a salted caramel flavored stevia syrup. The salted caramel flavor joins the company’s portfolio of other flavors, including maple, butter, blueberry, cinnamon, and butter pecan, and can be used on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and more.
 
“Starting your morning with too much sugar can lead to an insulin spike and crash when you need energy the most,” said Michael May, president of SweetLeaf. “Our salted caramel flavor and full line of Stevia Syrups lets consumers reduce their daily sugar intake while still getting a taste of the sweet life at the start of the day, without the glycemic response.” 
 
Sweetened cereals, standard syrups, and added sugars to coffee, oatmeal, and juices can easily make breakfast a sugar-heavy meal, and, pointing to Public Health England surveys, SweetLeaf reports that children are particularly susceptible to the impacts of breakfast sugar, consuming half of their daily sugar intake before they even get to school. This can lead to unhealthy BMI, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay.
 
“There’s no doubt that, as a society, we need to reduce our sugar intake to increase our overall health,” May said. “SweetLeaf is about bringing all-natural, no-sugar alternatives to the masses without compromising taste or quality.”
 
Sweetleaf’s stevia syrups are a part of its broader range of products, which include a liquid product called Sweet Drops, and Better Than Sugar, the company’s one-to-one granulated and powdered no-sugar product that can be used in pancakes and waffles in place of standard sugar.
