(1) Regarding Debbie’s note #48: Labels can be a little confusing. In a 3 g serving of SustaBowl, there is less than a 1/2 of gram of fructose and in far greater predominance, almost all the rest is soluble, prebiotic fiber. However, in labeling requirements, the fiber is counted under “carbs”–obviously an unavoidable misnomer that is confusing to the consumer and frustrating to us.

(2) Regarding Jaunita’s note, # 47, sorry for your reaction, but this is very strange. First, there is barely 1/2 g of fructose in a packet–that’s like a smidgen on your finger tip. One would have to consume an entire box of 50 packets to match the sugar content of one large apple( but in so doing , you would also have 5X the fiber of an apple)!
Second, fructose, unlike glucose, sucrose or tablesugar, does not stimulate the glycemic response–its one of the lower glycemic foods on the glycemic index. Third, soluble fiber drives down the effects of sugar.At a ratio of 2 parts fiber to one part sugar, this has a ratio more similar to dried peppers + dried tomatoes, rather than a higher sugar to fiber ratio such as a succulent fruit or even an apple!
Please test again in a little plain water removing any other variables–let us know.

(3) James and multiple entries:
Considering all the baloney out there in the food and dietary supplement industry, James skeptic notations are completely understandable and appreciated. The facts are we are a young science based and marketing public company, growing and expanding with the commitment to excellence and integrity in a tough economy and a tough food category–sweeteners. In spite of the expected challenges, we are rapidly growing and gaining market-share. because we have a great tasting, proactive healthy value product, that is steadily garnering the excitement, results and respect of consumers and top health professionals nationwide over the competition.

Thank you all again for your participation and support of NXT’s Susta and keep this blog buzzing!

Sorry, but I couldn’t help but notice that James claims to be a CPA with 40 years of auditing experience, a degree in agriculture, experience in the food industry (even if it was just a pick-your-own farm), and a nose for fraud — yet he either couldn’t find or understand the ingredient list for Susta? Hhhmmmmmmm… Now what sounds fraudulent, here? Someone’s got some kind of axe to grind.
