Sweet-n-Natural Packets
Xylitol (also known as birch sugar) is a naturally occurring sweetener found in some fruits and in the bark of the birch tree. Xylitol is not a sugar like sucrose or fructose. Instead, it is a sugar alcohol, or polyol. Because of its unique chemical structure and the way it is processed in the body, xylitol has none of the health risks of typical sugars and has many benefits that make it an ideal sweetener for health-conscious individuals.
Xylitol is metabolized more slowly than sugar, so it does not cause blood sugar levels to rise and fall rapidly. This makes it a safe sweetener for individuals with diabetes or hypoglycemia. It is as sweet as sugar but contains 40 percent fewer calories (2.4 calories per gram in xylitol, compared to 4.0 calories per gram in sugar), so it is a good choice for those who are trying to reduce their caloric intake and lose weight.
Xylitol does not feed intestinal yeast, so it is appropriate for individuals with Candida (yeast overgrowth). Xylitol has also been shown to interfere with the growth of some bacteria that cause recurrent ear infections in children.
Sweet-n-Natural from Physician's Preference contains 100 percent xylitol. It is free of MSG, soy, salt, wheat, corn, yeast, eggs, dairy products, caffeine, fillers, and artificial preservatives, flavors, or coloring. Sweet-n-Natural is very stable and can be used in place of sugar in cooking and baking. Simply replace the amount of table sugar in recipes with the identical amount of Sweet-n-Natural.
Please note: Xylitol consumption may cause gastrointestinal distress in the form of a laxative effect with initial use in some individuals. Simply reduce the amount consumed and gradually build up tolerance as it may take a little longer for some individuals to not have this reaction.
Warning: Xylitol is only meant for human consumption. Please do not expose your pets to xylitol products as it is toxic to them.
