A method is provided to sweeten a food product to minimize the glycemic load of the food product, to introduce natural fiber into the food product, to produce a desired sweetness profile, and to reduce the likelihood that the food product when ingested causes gastrointestinal distress. The method includes the steps of selecting at least one polyol; determining the laxation threshold in grams per day of the polyol(s); determining the desired quantity of a sweetener composition in a serving of the food product, the sweetener composition comprising the polyol(s) and agave syrup solids added in solid form during the manufacture of the food product; determining the desired sweetener profile of the sweetener composition, the sweetener composition including proportions of agave and the polyol(s) to minimize the likelihood the sweetener composition will cause the food product to cause gastrointestinal distress; the adjustment of sweetness by adding a high intensity sweetener(s); admixing the sweetener particles during the manufacture of the food product to produce the desired quantity of the sweetener composition in a serving of the food product.
