As good as sugar - Fri 8th Oct 2010
Excellent for reducing the calories in your diet when used as a replacement for sugar and is great on a slow or lower carb diet. It has the ability of giving a sweeter taste than normal sugar so less is needed. Claims 0 net carbs which is good. Looks expensive but this is one of the best prices on the internet for the UK, its comparable to what friends pay in the states! Try it, It cool on the tongue and great in baking.

Fantastic Alternative To Sugar - Thu 11th Nov 2010
I started using Xylitol at the beginning of this year (2010) and within 2 months had shed 5 lbs just by switching - I hadn't even used much sugar in the past but my over all blood sugar levels were controlled not spikes of energy followed by dips of fatigue. Xylitol tastes far better than synthetic sweeteners it's not super sweet in fact it's slightly less sweet than sugar which suits me fine. The 1kg bag is a real bargain (other companies are charging the same price for 500g) try it, I don't think you'll regret it - and don't forget, you can use it for cooking.

Best Sugar Alternative - Thu 7th Apr 2011
Xylitol is the best sugar alternative I've tried by far! I love these large 1kg bags because they're great value and I get through quite a lot of it! If you don't like the taste of artificial sweetners then I'd definately recommend xylitol. Just make sure you don't eat too much of it as it has laxative effects in excess. You do build up a higher tolerance for it the more you use it though.

Just like sugar, only without the side effects! - Wed 1st Jun 2011
Perfect! Works in cooking, I've made my husband a fruit crumble using this, he couldn't taste the difference. Doesn't upset my tummy like refined sugars, cane sugar and agave nectar. And I've used this in raw chocolates and raw deserts to great effect. Something I now wouldn't be without in the cupboard.

Xylitol is the best, great for cooking, baking or for your drinks. It doesn't have a bad taste like sweeteners, your cakes or drinks will be delicious, just like when you use real sugar!

I was very happy to find this xylitol made from birch tree Although xylitol remains a highly processed product, it is priceless as a replacement for sugar and doesn't feed candida, doesn't cause tooth decay and doesn't upset blood sugar balance so it is very useful and much safer than sugar.
Too much can upset sensitive tummies but we don't want to eat too much of a good thing!!
