Reply to comment by inannaofthedarkness in Solving the Global Sugar Problem by MilkshakeBoy78

I’m not an expert here, but having read the article, the problem with mixing sugar with fats is that you have to add a lot more sugar in order to taste it, vs mixing in water. This mixture makes it so you have to use a lot less. So, rather than just making it less sweet, you can have the same level of sweetness with a lot less sugar. And, for what it’s worth, it’s not exotic chemicals at work. It’s a flavorless oil and extremely finely ground sugar. I can’t say how well this works, having not tasted it myself, but the idea of having Nutella that tastes exactly as sweet as what you can buy now, only with a fraction of the sugar sounds like great news.

you can buy it with reduced sugar. at target they have “good and gather” reduced sugar hazelnut spread. Nutella is just a brand name, many different brands with no/lower sugar if you want to buy it.

But, it’ll taste like it has less sugar. This article claims this will make it taste the same using less sugar. There’s a difference.
