Forget Cutting Sugar—New Tech Makes It Healthier Instead.

Scientists at Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have developed a new technology that could make sugar healthier. They have created an enzyme that can be added to food, reducing the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream and converting it into fiber. The goal is to reduce the harmful effects of sugar without eliminating it completely. Other companies are also working on similar methods, such as a drink mix containing microscopic sponges that soak up sugar in the stomach. However, these technologies are still in the early stages and face challenges such as cost and regulatory approval. [Extracted from the article]
