Clear Trend Toward Health
It is now evident that the
low-carb diet craze wasn’t the cure-all answer for many
obese or over weight consumers hoping to shed their
unwanted pounds. Due to this conclusion and
disappointment, many large national manufacturers in the
beverage and food industry are finding out through their
marketing research that with obesity on the rise and
concerns about cholesterol levels, triglycerides,
heart disease and cancer that the US consumer base is
definitely interested in products offering “Healthy
for You” alternatives that will hopefully improve their
quality of life over the long term.
It is evident
that this has and will lead to an increased number of
new product introductions in the market containing
vitamin fortification, fiber, isoflavones, phytosterols, innulin, reduced or no sugar added, pre and probiotics
in dairy products (yogurt) and beverage arena.

offer both potential and existing customers tailor-made

incorporating some of the aforementioned ingredients and
technology.

Low-Carb Overdose
Post 2003/2004 Low Carb
Product and Diet Craze has left many dieting
consumers scratching their heads. Initial short
term diet results for many consumers were very
encouraging but unfortunately the ups and downs
on the scale has proven to be the downfall of
this trend.
Now that Atkins has
recently applied for bankruptcy protection, it
is again evident that there is no easy answer or
magic pill to this dieting dilemma.
Cutting calories and
exercise continue to be the proven and logical
approach for the consuming public over both the
short and long term diets.
