Sweeters

Problem:

Diabetes is the second leading cause of death in Ecuador, and it is known that the artificial sweeteners that replace sugar (for health reasons) are not the best choice.

Idea:

Provide a product based on the miracle fruit, which only gives the feeling of eating something sweet without the need to consume sugar or chemicals. It is ideal for diabetics and people who cannot or don't want to consume artificial or natural sweeteners to have the opportunity to eat sweet foods and drinks without necessarily consuming chemicals or sucrose but only tasting something sweet.

Main Beneficiaries:

People with diabetes, or just people who want to consume something sweet in a healthier (and necessary) way.
