Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar that is found in fruits, vegetables, and within the human body. It contains 40% fewer calories than sugar, has a low glycemic index, and cannot be metabolized by yeast. The World Health Organization and the FDA has given xylitol their safest ratings for food additives. In fact, xylitol is effective in controlling cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth a sweetener that is good for your teeth!
SmartSweet is made from 100% pure Xylitol derived from American grown, organic birch trees. Unlike other xylitol products that are derived from corn cobs and imported from China, SmartSweet is guaranteed GMO free and is an ideal sweetener for those with corn sensitivities. The taste is superior as well.
SmartSweet mixes, measures, looks, and tastes more like sugar than any other sugar substitute. It is delicious in baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and cookies. SmartSweet is most effectively dissolved in hot liquids, and because it does not crystallize like sugar, it cannot be used to make hard candy. Because yeast cannot utilize it for food, it cannot be used in baking breads with yeast. Xylitol may require a brief period of tolerance adjustment. It is suggested that SmartSweet be added gradually increasing portions over a period of three to six weeks before it is entirely substituted for sugar.
