EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description The average person eats one-half cup of sugar a day, more than is recommended for the average person, particularly people who suffer from diabetes, insulin resistance, and Syndrome X. Unlike sugar, xylitol does not require insulin to be metabolized. Xylitol is an all-natural sugar substitute derived from birch tree bark or from corncobs. It is teaspoon-for-teaspoon as sweet as sugar, and has the added quality of binding to saliva, leaving a sweet taste lingering in the mouth. Fran Gare explains the health benefits of using xylitol rather than sugar, aspartame, saccharin, sobitol, or mannitol. |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 2 reviews)
| Really sweet  The book is basic information about xylitol and its history. The product itself has turned out to be very useful...it really does keep me from getting sore throats, etc.
The only problem with the book is that it does not mention that xylitol is poisonous to dogs...pet owners need to know that before using xylitol themselves. September 04, 2008 | | Another Sweetener?  This is a good overview of the benefits of Xylitol, which are many. Worth checking out. Healthier sweetening alternative. March 19, 2007 | |
