In a world where sugar is in literally EVERYTHING; I was amazed when my mom introduced me to Yacon Syrup. This could be the start to a solution for obesity! This medicinal root is low glycemic, low calorie, and made of FOS. The complex sugars in the syrup combat disease and fight bad bacterias that infest our bodies.
