Why Choose Sugalight Ice Cream?

Health problems from excessive sugar intake

The rate of obesity and type-II diabetes is set to explode globally. Among Singaporeans adults, more than 1 in 10 is diabetic and the numbers are expected to increase dramatically. The main contributing factors are a diet high in simple sugars and carbohydrates as well as a lack of exercise.

Sugalight is the choice for those seeking a healthier ice cream option. Our ice cream proudly carries the HPB ‘Healthier Choice’ logo.

Sugar-free with low Glycemic Index (GI)

Sugalight ice creams are irresistibly delicious, even without the use of traditional sugars like sucrose, glucose, or fructose. We sweeten our ice cream with natural sweeteners, specifically Xylitol and Maltitol, which have significantly lower glycemic indices. Notably, both Xylitol and Maltitol are HPB-approved sweeteners that won’t contribute to tooth decay.

Sugalight – Low GI rating, Backed by Research

We stand out as one of the few ice creams backed by a verified low glycemic index (GI). Research conducted at Temasek Poly’s Glycemic Index Research Unit (GIRU) shows that Sugalight Fresh Milk Vanilla boasts a GI of 16, while Sugalight Milk Chocolate has a GI of 18.
The Glycemic Index (GI) measures how quickly carbohydrates in food raise blood sugar levels compared to pure glucose, which has a GI of 100. Foods with a low GI (<55) are digested and absorbed more slowly, resulting in a gradual rise in blood sugar levels and providing sustained energy. On the other hand, foods with a high GI (>70) cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.

No Artificial Sweeteners Used

Our ice creams do not contain any artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda), acesulfame-K, or saccharine. We prioritize natural sweetness and taste without compromising your health.

Promoting Optimal Gut Health with Prebiotics

Sugalight ice creams are a rich source of prebiotic soluble fibers, which play a vital role in nurturing and supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.

Harnessing the Power of Coconut and Olive Oils

Sugalight ice creams are made using a proprietary blend of Coconut and Olive Oils. Coconut oil, abundant in MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), can aid in fat-burning processes. On the other hand, Olive oil has been recognized for its cardiovascular protective properties. Enjoy the goodness of these naturally occurring oils in every bite.

No Seed Oils Used

Seed oils like canola, corn, peanut, rice bran, soybean, and sunflower are often highly processed, cheap, and packed with omega-6 fatty acids. Excessive omega-6 intake has been linked to increased inflammation, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Sugalight ice creams, by design, avoids seed oils. Instead, it relies on naturally found milk fat, coconut and olive oil.
