INGREDIENTS
What Makes Cynthia's Treats Different?
We take pride in offering you our healthified treats and have worked hard to ensure your experience is as good as, if not better than, when you eat the full-fat and sugared versions.
Reading the ingredients list on foods helps you avoid ingredients that you would rather avoid. The most obvious ingredients to avoid are trans fats, listed as hydrogenated oils on labels; added saturated fat, such as lard; coconut oil; and palm or palm kernel oil. Also, ingredients are listed in order of quantity, from most to least—so if sugar (for example) is one of the top ingredients, the food may not be the most nutritious choice.
Cynthia's Treats are handcrafted with flavor & health in mind.
Cynthia's Treats uses stevia, the natural, diabetic-friendly sweetener, to sweeten all of their delicious & nutritious treats.
Eating too much added sugar is linked to diabetes, heart disease, and liver disease.
