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 80-90 % lower than that of sugar, so much less impact on your blood sugar level and a much lower risk on developing diabetes
* Consumption of Xylitol instead of sugar helps to prevent tooth plaque and caries
SweetLife Xylitol is the ideal 1:1 replacement for crystal sugar in baking, toppings and drinks. It's available in a 500g bag that makes the sugar jar in your cupboard completely redundant.
