Xylitol is an amazing sweetening alternative that has been used in sugar-free chewing gum since the 1960s. Xylitol is amazing because not only does it not have a bitter aftertaste or artificial flavor, but it will not cause your blood sugar to spike and is a recommended alternative for those who struggle to maintain a consistent blood sugar count.
Xylitol is a natural food product made from xylose, a 5-carbon sugar that is derived from fibrous plants.
Xylitol is called for in any of the Eating Clean: 100 Appetizing Solutions – Wheat-free & Dairy free recipes that require a sweetener, such as the Fruit Juices and Smoothie Drinks on pages 21-26 and in the Sweet Treats chapter on pages 107-112.
