The sugar in yacon are mainly fructooligosaccharides(FOS) complex carbohydrates that pass through the digestive system without being metabolized, as the human system doesn’t have an enzymetohydrolyze FOS. Therefore, it is good for people with diabetes and all people concerned about blood sugar levels.

Yacon syrup can contribute to weight loss in a properly managed diet. FOS stimulates the secretion of a glucose like protein in the stomach, giving us a feeling of fullness or satisfaction that helps us avoid over eating, with further benefits to weight management.
