Xylitol or xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar commonly derived from corncobs and birch trees. It is much like many other sugars, but with a significant difference – the xylose molecule contains only 5 carbon atoms rather than the 6 of most other sugars. This molecular difference is the key to xylitol's beneficial qualities both as a food source and as a bacterial inhibitor in both medical and dental use.

A delicious, low–calorie sweetener has all the sweetness of common sugars, yet has 40% fewer calories. An ideal alternative sweetener in foods prepared for weight loss or for anyone concerned about the overuse of sugar in their diet. But it’s low cal sweetening characteristics are only the beginning of its nutritional story.

It is metabolized without insulin so it creates a significantly lower glycemic effect when eaten. Xylitol has a glycemic index of only 7 per 25-gram test portion.

Diabetes Management: can be substituted for most common sweeteners without compromising taste or texture. Xylose is metabolized without insulin so it creates a significantly lower glycemic effect when eaten–a glycemic index of only 7.

Anti-bacterial Benefits: inhibits the ability of bacteria to attach to the tissues of the mouth, nose, and throat. This is why physicians are using xylitol to reduce the symptoms of middle ear infections (otitis media)–particularly in children.

Dental Benefits: The health benefits of Xylitol extend to dental use as well. Xylose in the diet inhibits the ability of bacteria to adhere to the teeth, reduce the production of the acids that dissolve tooth enamel and lead to tooth decay.

As more and more Americans discover xylitol’s great taste and many uses, it will soon replace the more commonly used sugars in our diets. And soon, like the people of Scandinavia, Americans will enjoy stronger, healthier teeth, less bacterial infection, and a more sensible and manageable diet through the use xylose instead of sugar.

Xylitol is endorsed by the following Dental Associations: Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, British, Irish, and Estonian.

Suggested Use
When cooking, replace sugar with xylose in equal measurements. Perfectly heat–stable for cooking and baking, it also mixes and dissolves just like common sugar.

Warnings: Xylitol requires a brief period of tolerance adjustment. It is suggested that xylose be used in gradually increasing portions over a period of three to six weeks before it is entirely substituted for common sugar. Net Carbs are determined by subtracting those carbohydrates that have a negligible effect on blood sugar levels from total carbohydrate. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that has minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
Xylitol will not cause breads and pastries to rise and is not a good choice for hard candies since it will not crystallize with heating. Xylitol is not recommended for sweetening juices and instant beverages that require large amounts of sweetener.
