What is Xylosweet Sweetener?
Xylosweet, a xylitol-based sweetener, is the sweetest
of all bulk sugar substitutes. Currently used
in many sugar-free products, Xylosweet is increasingly
gaining acceptance as an alternative sweetener; using
it actually helps reduce the
development of dental cavities. Unlike artificial
sweeteners, Xylosweet contains all-natural xylitol—nothing
else!
XYLOSWEET FACTS:
- Zero carbohydrates.
- Just as sweet and tasteful as table sugar with 1/3 fewer calories
(~ 2.4 calories/gram versus sugar's 4.0)
- Glycemic index: 7
- Made of a naturally-occurring substance found in fruits and
vegetables like plums, strawberries, and corn.
INITIAL USE OF XYLOSWEET:
Xylitol sweeteners:
- are approved by both the World
Health Organization and the FDA as safe in unlimited
quantities as a food additive.
- have chemical structure
different than that of table sugar (sucrose).
- may, in some cases of excessive consumption, have a
laxative effect or cause gas until the body becomes
accustomed to the sweetener in larger quantities.
XYLOSWEET IN COOKING:
Xylosweet is interchangeable with sugar for most cooking
applications.
