Sweet Treats Without Sugar
In 2010, Daintee launched a special line of sweets that don't have sugar. These are sold under the brand name Longlive.
Why Sugar-Free?
These sugar-free products contain something called xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar substitute, which means it tastes sweet but isn't sugar. Some people say that xylitol can even help keep your teeth healthy!
