Unknown Sugar, Why?

When doing some research on another unknown sugar I came across this practically unknown sugar. A past article on this site relating to reading the fine print, (still listed on this site, I have yet to see this ingredient to show up.

This article will discuss two virtually unknown sugars.

Questions should certianly be asked….

* How come nobody is marketing these sugars in our world, where every thing has sugar in it?

* Is it cost, preventing the widepread usage, or perhaps production?

* Last of all, what is the price tag for a healthier mankind?

If all the data provided below is true as proclaimed, WHY are they still UNKNOWN to the public

Palatinose Sugar

The Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) registration was granted in 2006 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In its consideration of Palatinose, also known under the generic name isomaltulose. Palatinose, is disaccharide derived from sucrose. The product claims to have a sweetness profile similar to that of sugar, but it has “more scope for flavor development.”

I found that in July of 2005 the product had received the novel food status,which is the European equivalent of GRAS.

With a little research, Japan it has been used as a food ingredient since 1985.

“The FDA’s ‘letter of no objection’ paves the way for Palatinose to be used in a wide range of food and beverage products, including ready-to-drink and instant beverages, snack bars, dairy products as well as energy-reduced, wellness and sports foods and meal replacements,”said Palatinit, a subsidiary of leading global sugar producer Südzucker AG.
