Does The Doctors Chocolate or Stemulite contain sugar?
Phone Interview with Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, MD, PhD, inventor of The Doctor’s Chocolate and David Summers, inventor of Stemulite
Female Speaker: Excuse me, is there any sugar in the products?
Dr. Scott-Mumby: Well, I’ll go first. There is a tiny trace. The main truffle center, as we’ve been explaining, is formulated with xylitol and that’s a non-sugar sweetener, it’s actually sugar alcohol, but it’s got 40% less calories than sugar and as you heard me say it’s diabetic safe. It doesn’t really behave like a sugar. It doesn’t trigger the sugar problems.
But the whole chocolate is coated in a delicious enrobing chocolate made by a Swiss firm called Calibo, Barry Calibo. It’s very thin, it’s only about a millimeter thick and it’s kind of a delicious part of the formula.
It does have a trace of regular sweetener in that but the amount is so tiny, I mean you’re talking a quarter of a percent if anything. Not to worry about it. But yes, technically speaking there is a trace of dextrose.
Female Speaker: Thank you. A trace is good enough.
Facilitator: A trace, yeah.
Dr. Scott-Mumby: You’re off the hook!
Facilitator: Dr. Summers, you want to follow up with that? I don’t think there’s any sugar in Stemulite.
Dr. Summers: Well there’s no sugar in Stemulite. The Beta Glucan is a polysaccharide, a sugar protein complex, but it’s not the type of sugar that we generally think of. It’s a polysaccharide and it binds on the protein and that’s what stimulates the immune system.
