Sweetener

Using an alternative sweetener is an easy way to cut back on calories and still feed that sweet tooth. People looking to cut back on sugar have traditionally turned to sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame. Unfortunately, these sweeteners are artificial, cannot be used for many of the same applications (such as baking), and have a completely different taste and texture.

Conversely, Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that is crystalline in form and looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is all-natural, not artificial, and is a normal substance used in everyday metabolism. Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, xylitol is perfectly safe for human consumption and has been given the FDA's safest rating as a food additive. Because xylitol is absorbed slowly and only partially utilized by the body, it contains 40% less calories than sugar, about 2.4 calories per gram. Xylitol serves as a popular sugar substitute for diabetics and people with hypoglycemia. It has a LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX (7) and has little effect on blood sugar levels. Xylitol is a great sweetener for net carb counters and that low carb diet.

In addition, over 2 decades of Clinical studies and use confirm that xylitol is effective in reducing dental decay and bacterial growth. Sugar free chewing gums and candies made with xylitol have received official endorsements from six national dental associations. Xylitol has also been found to have other substantial health benefits and serves as a defense against sinus, ear, and upper respiratory infections. Xylitol is recommended by dentists, medical doctors, periodontists, pediatricians and other health professions and organization worldwide.
