 |  Subject: Xylitol - sugar substitute  Sun Jun 22 2008, 12:01 | |
| Does anyone have experience with xylitol. It's supposed to be really healthy for you. It tastes just like sugar without even a hint of an aftertaste. It is 10 calories per 4 grams or about a tsp. 4 grams carb. It is 40% fewer calories than sugar and 75% less carb intake. It does not use insulin for processing and reportedly even helps hormone balancing....
I know, I know.... don't even think about substitutes for anything on P2, but what do you think?
Thanks,

| | I have used xylitol and I have found it to be quite a nice tasting sugar substitute but don't use too much of it because it can definitely give you gas and bloating... |
