About Xylitol :
What is it about Xylitol that makes it a great alternative to traditional sugars?
Xylitol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate, that looks and tastes just like regular table sugar.
It is a natural sweetener that can be extracted from any woody fibrous plant material.
Commercially it is extracted from renewable resources such as corn cobs, and also from less environmentally
sustainable sources such as hardwood.
Xylitol also occurs naturally in our bodies - in fact, an average size adult manufactures up to 15 grams of xylitol daily
during normal metabolism.
Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar.
