Many low-carb products rely on the addition of non-nutritive sweeteners to keep their carbohydrate counts in check. Del Monte uses this approach for a new line of low-carb canned fruit products. The Del Monte Carb Clever line of canned fruit products contains 50-70 % fewer carbohydrates than conventional canned fruit. Rather than packing the fruit in heavy syrup or natural fruit juices, Del Monte packs the fruit in water sweetened with Splenda ? brand no-calorie sweetener. The result is delicious, ready-to-eat fruits that's lower in carbs and calories, while retaining a pleasing sweet taste. Many health and nutrition experts are concerned about reports, such as those from ACNielsen, indicating that 44 % of low carb dieters-an estimated 15 million Americans-have either cut back or stopped eating fruit as a result of the diet. The ACNielsen research regarding insufficient fruit consumption while on low-carb diets underscores the market need for the Del Monte Carb Clever line of products, said Josie Welling, Vice President of Marketing, Del Monte Fruit. People on these diets, as well as those cutting back on refined sugar intake, are really trying to do something positive for their health. Continuing to enjoy fruit, while being conscious of their total carb and sugar intake, is easy with Del Monte Carb Cleave.
