Xylitol - Sugar Substitute of the day

Xylitol - Sugar Substitute of the day


Xylitol
Also known as birch sugar, is primarily made from corn cobs or tree bark.
It is sweet but has a low glycemic index and it is great for diabetics since it does not interfere with the insulin response. However a medical professional should be consulted before use.
You could try Xylitol instead of sugar in your children, especially if they have trouble focusing in school from too much sugar consumption.

Did you know that every person makes a little xylitol inside of their bodies?
