Good news for chocolate lovers: Nestle has said it has discovered a way to cut the amount of sugar that goes into its Kit Kat, Butterfinger and other candy bars, but without affecting the taste. The Swiss food giant’s scientists say a breakthrough will allow the company to cut sugar content by up to 40 percent. Sweetness of chocolate and other confectionery products will be unchanged. “Our scientists have discovered a completely new way to use a traditional, natural ingredient,” Nestle Chief Technology Officer Stefan Catsicas said in a statement late Wednesday. That would mean consuming no more than 25 grammes, or the equivalent of six teaspoons of sugar a day — less than the 10 teaspoons in your average can of soda.
