Natural Sweetener Xylitol / Xylitol, 500g
Xylitol
It is a natural sweetener commonly used as a sugar substitute. It comes from various plant sources, including birch trees, corn cobs, and some fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has a sweet taste similar to sugar but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic index . And most importantly, without any aftertaste .
Health Benefits
One of the main advantages of xylitol is its dental benefits. It is non-fermentable by oral bacteria, meaning it does not contribute to tooth decay like regular sugar. In fact, xylitol has been found to reduce the risk of tooth decay and promote oral health by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth. This makes it perhaps the most ideal sweetener for children and the elderly.
Additionally, xylitol is diabetes friendly as it has minimal effect on blood sugar levels. It is absorbed slowly and incompletely by the body, making it suitable for those who need to manage their sugar. So in addition to diabetics, it is also ideal for pregnant women.
Xylitol is often used as a sugar substitute in various products such as chewing gum, candies, baked goods and beverages. It can be used in cooking and baking as a substitute for sugar, although some adjustments may be needed due to its different properties.
While xylitol is generally considered safe, consuming too much can cause digestive problems such as bloating, gas and diarrhea, especially in people who are not used to it. As with any food or sweetener, it is always important to consume in moderation and consult a healthcare professional if you have any specific health concerns or conditions.
