5Yacon Syrup
Yacon syrup is made from the yacon plant, a native plant in South America. This ingredient has a dark color, sweet taste, and thick consistency like molasses. Many people have recently used it as a supplement for weight loss. Yacon syrup is loaded with fructooligosaccharides, a special form of sugar that our body cannot absorb and digest. As such, it contains fewer calories than regular sugar. In addition, many studies suggest that fructooligosaccharides would help suppress appetite and reduce hunger. This substance can also feed healthy bacteria in the gut, thus boosting the overall health and reducing the risks of some health issues like obesity or diabetes. [5]
