Xylitol Sweetener

Xylitol looks and tastes like table sugar, but it's a natural, low-calorie, low-carb substitute.
Its remarkable properties stem from its unique molecular structure. Most sugar-like molecules have a six-carbon "hexose" unit. Xylitol is a five-carbon "pentitol" sugar. Because of its distinctive arrangement of atoms, bacteria cannot utilise it for energy. This chemical structure inhibits the ability of our bodies to fully metabolise it as well. For this reason, xylitol has a limited effect on blood sugar levels. Its low glycaemic index makes it a terrific solution for carb-counters as well as those trying to lose weight.

Xylitol can be substituted for table sugar and other sweeteners without compromising taste or texture. It may take a few days for the body to become accustomed to digesting xylitol: until that time it is recommended that Xylitol be gradually introduced into the diet over a period of a few weeks.

Xylitol Sweetener is 100% xylitol, a sugar alcohol sweetener commonly used as a lower-calorie alternative to sugar. Xylitol tastes sweet like sugar, is heat stable for many kitchen uses, and is often chosen by people who want a sweetener that has less effect on blood glucose than regular sugar.

Another reason xylitol stands out is oral health. It has been widely studied in chewing gums and dental products because it does not feed cavity-causing bacteria in the same way sugar does. Before buying, the most useful thing to know is that xylitol can cause digestive upset if you jump in too quickly, so gradual use often suits better.

What is Xylitol Sweetener made from?
It is 100% granulated xylitol with no added sweeteners. That means you are getting xylitol itself, not a blend.

Xylitol gives sweetness with fewer calories than sugar and generally has less effect on blood glucose. It is also popular because it does not promote tooth decay the way sugar does.

What should I know before using Xylitol Sweetener?
It is best introduced gradually because larger amounts can cause digestive discomfort in some people. It is also important to keep xylitol away from dogs.
