Nutrition & Wellness

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americas, 2010, nearly 24 million people—almost 11 percent of the U.S. population—ages 20 years and older have diabetes. The vast majority of cases are type 2 diabetes, which is heavily influenced by diet and physical activity. About 78 million Americans—35 percent of the U.S. adult population ages 20 years or older—have pre-diabetes.  Reducing our sugar intake is just one of the many ways to help prevent diabetes, as well as several other problems.

Heartland is Here to Help!

The American Heart Association recommends that men limit their daily added sugar intake to 9 teaspoons a day and women limit their daily intake to 6 teaspoons. This isn't easy to do considering all the added sugars out there! In today's connected world, consumers are increasingly savvy. They have access to numerous online resources that can help them find all of the different types of added sugars and help them avoid products containing them. To keep these ever-increasing, ever-demanding consumers happy, Foodservice Operators and retail stores alike are looking to provide more good-tasting, low or no sugar options. Heartland's products will help you satisfy this need, regardless of the type of facility you operate.
