Xylitol ?
« on: January 11, 2011, 11:17:12 AM »
I see some references in posts to Xylitol but I hadn't seen it mentioned in FTS...What is it and how is it to be used ?

Xylitol is a natural sweetener made from birch trees.  I buy it at my local health food store.  Some people order it from Amazon or Netrition.  It has 0 net carbs.  I understand it has been around for a long time, but maybe not as popular as it is now or maybe Doug wasn't aware of it when he wrote his book.

Hi Bella!  :)

There has been quite a bit written about it in this forum (especially a LOT of recipes that use it) and some pet warnings as well.

Just go to the "Home" page of the FTS forum and search "Xylitol".
