Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is taken from fruits and vegetables that produce it naturally. This sweetener tastes just like sugar and can be used to replace it in recipes that call for sugar. Interestingly, Xylitol does not raise blood sugars or insulin levels in the same way that sugar does, meaning that it does not count as net carbs, making it popular for keto
What is Xylitol?
Xylitol is a natural sugar alternative that is found in a range of plants and fruits. It was first discovered in birch wood, hence the name, which derives from the Ancient Greek word for wood - xyl. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. If in doubt consult a health advisor. DO NOT feed to animals as Xylitol is digested by dogs in a different way to humans and it can cause their blood sugar levels to drop dramatically and in some cases even cause death in extreme cases. It might be healthy for us, but it's not so good for them.
