3 Vodka Is The First And Only Distilled Spirit To Receive Federal Label Approval To List "Zero Carbohydrates" As A Nutritional Statement

3 Vodka, the only vodka in the world distilled from soy, is the first and only spirit to receive federal label approval to list "zero carbohydrates" as a nutritional statement on the packaging.

(PRWEB) March 19, 2004--Chicago-based 3 Vodka, the only vodka in the world distilled from soy, announced today that they are the first and only spirit to receive federal label approval to list zero carbohydrates" as a nutritional statement. The zero carbohydrate" nutritional statement appears on the front facing of the packaging. From its distilled-from-soy formula, to its out-of-the-box marketing strategies and now to their nutritional statement foresight; 3 Vodka continues to revolutionize the spirits industry.

The product, 3 Vodka, is made from soy isolates (select components of the soy plant). Upon a search for the amount of carbohydrates in soy isolates, I was able to determine that there are in fact zero carbohydrates in this product," notes Julie Chmielewski, MS, RD.

In a time when diet books such as Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and The South Beach Diet do not budge from the bestsellers list for not weeks but months - consumers have confirmed to be extremely health conscious. Counting carbohydrates has proven to excel weight loss for several and recently, numerous reports have shown, to many experts' surprise, that the carb-counting approach actually does work.

3 Vodka represents a breakthrough both in the vodka it contains and the package design. It is the natural essence of soy that lends 3 its signature taste and smoothness. All other vodkas are made from corn, wheat and potato, very basic commodity grains. They are used due to the fact that they contain the one ingredient that is necessary to make vodka -- carbohydrates / starch. A single grain of corn, for example, contains four or five components and approximately 95 percent of that single grain of corn is made up of carbohydrates / starch. And that's all you need to make consumable alcohol (vodka).

When the makers of 3 Vodka came across the soy plant, they discovered that each soy bean is literally made up of thousands of components. After much research, it was revealed that certain components distill better than others, creating a more desirable taste, smoothness and beverage character. This conclusion lead the team to isolate those certain components and developed the 3 Vodka formula, a spirit that contains zero carbohydrates.

We at 3 Vodka want consumers to know that even though they are watching their carbohydrate intake, they now have the option of enjoying a great-tasting spirit without feeling guilty, said Brian Berish, Managing Partner of 3 Vodka Distilling Co. Now dieters across the United States will still be able uphold their New Years resolution to lose weight while enjoying alcoholic beverages responsibly."

Image conscious personalities like Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake and Jermaine Dupri have been spotted enjoying 3 Vodka. Recently introduced, 3 Vodka is enjoying a successful introduction throughout the United States.
