Xylitol Bulk
How it Works
Xylitol looks and tastes like table sugar, but it’s a natural, low-calorie, low-carb substitute. Its remarkable properties stem from its unique molecular structure. Most sugar-like molecules have a six-carbon “hexose” unit. Xylitol is a five-carbon “pentitol” sugar. Because of its distinctive arrangement of atoms, bacteria cannot utilize it for energy. This chemical structure inhibits the ability of our bodies to fully metabolize it as well. For this reason, xylitol has a limited effect on blood sugar levels. Its low glycemic index of 7 makes it a terrific solution for carb-counters as well as those trying to lose weight.
Recommended use
Substitute xylitol for table sugar and other sweeteners without compromising taste or texture. Xylitol can be used to sweeten foods and beverages or in cooking and baking. Because it does not ferment or crystallize, xylitol cannot be used to replace table sugar in some bread and candy recipes. Unlike sugar, xylitol can be left on the teeth overnight. It may take a few days for the body to become accustomed to digesting xylitol; until that time, we recommend a gradual introduction to the diet over a few weeks.CAUTION: Do not give products containing xylitol to pets.
