…There are certain ingredients that are surprisingly hard to find in overseas grocery stores. One of them is 'sugar'. On the shelves, sugar is less common compared to alternative sweeteners such as monk fruit, steviol glycosides, and erythritol.

A student studying abroad predicts that a trend for sugar alternatives will soon emerge in South Korea as well. Returning to Korea, he sets a goal to create a ‘sugar-free table’ and, along with his staff, establishes the startup 'Dr. True', focusing on developing alternative sweeteners.
