It wasn’t even the Super Bowl, but the Jan. 23 AFC divisional round playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium will go down as one of the greatest of all time. In the last two minutes of regulation, quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and John Allen combined for 25 points resulting in a 36-36 tie as time ran out. In overtime, Kansas City won in thrilling fashion when Mahomes connected with tight end Travis Kelce for a walk-off touchdown. In the sweeteners market, no- and low-calorie natural plant-based sweeteners like stevia, erythritol and monk fruit are “winning big” in the beverage “game.”
Nate Yates, global platform lead for sugar reduction and specialty sweeteners at Westchester, Ill.-based Ingredion, says that sugar reduction ranks as the top way to make processed foods and beverages healthier.
