Our tooth-friendly "Ami-Dents" line was developed
to respond to a demand expressed by consumers. While children
are always eager for a candy, parents know the risk of tooth
decay associated with sugar-sweetened products. We have researched
solutions and found that sorbitol provides positive health
attributes.
What
is Sorbitol? It was first discovered in 1872, by a French
chemist, in the fruit of the Mountain Ash tree. It is
naturally produced by a large number of fruits and berries
and has been used for almost half a century in the preparation
of various foods. Its smooth texture and sweet refreshing
taste make for a feeling of overall physical well-being
and a tingling sensation in the mouth.
DOES
NOT PROMOTE TOOTH DECAY
Sorbitol
does not promote tooth decay because it is not easily converted
to acids by oral bacteria. By replacing sugar with Sorbitol,
children and adults alike can enjoy a tasty treat. The American
Dental Association has recognized its positive effects in
maintaining good oral hygiene. These benefits in fighting
tooth decay have earned the name "Ami-Dents", meaning
"tooth-friendly", for our sugar-free Sorbitol-sweetened
products.
GOOD
NEWS FOR DIABETICS
Sorbitol
has been used as a sugar substitute in specialty foods for
diabetics for many years. It has the distinct advantage
of slow absorption into the system, from the small intestine
to the bloodstream, using little or no insulin while converting
to energy.

aging population, with a higher incidence of diabetes, means
that our "Ami-Dents" line is just what the doctor
ordered. We are proud to have merited the designation Canadian

adapt as they would to any other foods rich in fiber.
