Original Sugar Free Candies

Since 1995, Dr. John's Candies has been developing special sugar free candy flavors, shapes, wrappers, and custom orders that you probably have not seen anywhere else. Our goal is to offer unique sugar free candy products that deliver valuable health benefits for all people. We are very picky when it comes to quality and ingredients, and feel that you will recognize the care and detail in that every product you order is better than what you expected...great taste, great package, and quick shipment.

Our main base sweetener, Hydrogenated starch hydrosylates (HSH), is a blend of several sugar alcohols (a type of sugar substitute), derived from a purely natural source... corn, and found in a wide variety of foods.

Unlike sugars, HSH are resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria which break down sugars, and release acids that may lead to cavities or erode tooth enamel. They, therefore, do not cause cavities. The usefulness of HSH (polyols) as alternatives to sugars and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene has been recognized by the American Dental Association.

Unlike sugar, the slow and incomplete absorbtion of HSH after consumption does not cause a significant rise in blood glucose and insulin response. Also, HSH have a reduced caloric value (75 percent or less than that of sugar). Products in which HSH replace sugar may, therefore, be of use providing a wider variety of reduced calorie and sugar free choices to people with diabetes (on the advice of their physician).

Our booster sweetener, Sunett, is a non-caloric sweetener about 200 times sweeter than sucrose, and it does not promote tooth decay. Discovered in 1967 by Hoechst AG, Sunett (acesulfame potassium) has been approved without restriction for all segments of the population by the U.S. FDA.

Dr. John's SimplyXylitol™ and Candies with Xylitol products do not contain Sunett, as Xylitol contributes exceptional sweet taste to our candy formula.
