Xylitol: a 'Better for you' Sugar Replacement

Xylitol is also known as birch sugar, because it was first extracted from birch trees around 1890.  Xylitol looks like sugar, tastes like sugar and functions like sugar, but offers huge benefits:

• It contains 40% fewer calories than sugar
• The glycemic index is 80 % lower than that of sugar, so much less impact on your blood sugar level and a much lower risk on developing diabetes
• It helps to prevent tooth plaque and caries

SweetLife Xylitol comes in 3 variations:

• Crystal Xylitol for baking and regular use
• Icing Xylitol for decoration and the proverbial icing on the cake
• Xylitol Cubes for easy sweetening of drinks
