XylosweetIs Xylosweet pure xylitol?Yes. It is 100% pure xylitol. Can diabetics and hypoglycemics safely use it?Xylitol is safe for people with diabetes and hypoglycemia because it gets into the cells without insulin and can be used to make glucose; therefore, it has a minimal insulin response. The glycemic index of xylitol is 7. What is the calorie content?Xylitol has 40% fewer calories than table sugar. There are 9.6 calories per teaspoon. What is the xylitol to sugar exchange ratio?The xylitol to sugar ratio is 1-1. Perfect for the diabetic diet! Can you use it to cook?Yes, xylitol is interchangeable with sugar for most cooking applications. Since yeast cannot metabolize it, xylitol will not work when baking breads or anything that contains yeast. Furthermore, xylitol does not crystallize as much as table sugar; therefore it does not do well when making peanut brittle or other hard candy. Finally, the amount of xylitol required to sweeten drinks such as lemonade, can cause diarrhea in some people until they become accustomed to it. What is the recommended daily intake?There is not a recommended daily intake. Simply use it as a sweetener. Where does it come from?Corncobs and birch trees are the main sources for commercially produced xylitol. However, there are no residual corn products in the xylitol.
