Sugar is found in nearly every product we eat these days and the impact that it is having on us is substantial. One only has to look at the current weight and dental problems currently being experienced in Australia. All forms of sugar, including sorbitol, another popular alternative sweetener, are acid-forming and feed bacteria and fungi.
Xylitol is a 100% natural sweetener without the side-effects of sugar, or artificial sweeteners, as well as a number of key advantages not normally associated with sugar alternatives. Xylitol is antimicrobial, preventing the growth of bacteria and while sugar is acid-forming, xylitol is alkaline enhancing.
Xylitol is spelt with an "x" but pronounced as a "z" and, whilst it sounds like a chemical, it is not. Its original name is from Finland, producing confusion in many non-European minds. It is found in fruits like strawberries, raspberries and plums, and trees such as birch as well as corn.
Spoon for spoon as sweet as sugar, xylitol leaves a fresh, sweet taste lingering in the mouth, and is safe - Food Standards Australia and New Zealand, World Health Organisation and Federal Drug Administration (USA) approved.
Xylitol can be used where sugar is normally used, so now you can enjoy the foods that you want to, without the side effects! It can even be used by those on special or calorie-controlled diets.
Xylitol has also been found to have many varied uses apart from being a natural sweetener. Because of its properties, it has been used in many dental applications and studies have verified its effectiveness over time.
