Since Elsa Martinez was diagnosed with type II diabetes she made sure to be informed about those food products that wouldn't aggravate her health. Her doctor reported that one of the first products to be avoid is sugar, but Elsa has a habit of sweeten her food and drinks.
Elsa learned about some natural low calorie sweeteners that could be used, including erythritol, a sweetener found in fruits and vegetables, which is one of the options to sweeten foods and drinks for patients with diabetes. However, extraction is usually made from products with high nutritional and commercial value (such as grapes), for that reason, its price is higher than other sweeteners.
