USDA-ARS Partners to Produce Low Glycemic Sweetener

The video discusses the importance of controlling blood sugar levels, especially for diabetics. It introduces Sucromalt, a natural sweetener developed by the USDA and Cargill, which releases glucose slowly, minimizing blood sugar spikes. Sucromalt benefits both diabetics and farmers by creating a new market for corn, sugar cane, and sugar beet crops. The USDA's Agricultural Research Service collaborates with industry to develop agricultural innovations, exemplified by Sucromalt, which is used in low glycemic food products.
