This sounds like good news for the company that has set goals to reduce sugar in its products and after federal nutrition guidelines have come down hard in recent years on the sweet ingredient and its lack of nutritional value.

The company is patenting the findings and plans to use the fast-dissolving sugar in its products starting in 2018. If the scientists need any help before then, we're available for any taste-testing or deeper research.
