Xylitol sugar alternative
Zylosweet the
sugar alternative is a fantastic
way for everyone including
diabetics and those weight
watching enjoy having a sweet
tooth with out feeling guilty.
Xylitol contains the natural
sweetener, Xylitol. It tastes
like sugar but has 40% fewer
calories (one 4g teaspoon
supplies 9.6 calories), so it’s
ideal as part of a weight
management programme. Used to
sweeten drinks, desserts and
cooking, ZyloSweet has a low
glycaemic index (GI) so it has
minimal impact on blood glucose
levels. Xylitol can safely be
used by diabetics. It may also
help maintain teeth free of
decay. When first using
ZyloSweet, increase your daily
intake gradually until your body
has adjusted. Large quantities
of Xylitol may have a laxative
effect, so build up slowly.
Since ZyloSweet inhibits yeast,
it cannot be used to raise yeast
in baking. Do not feed Xylitol
to dogs.
Since the sugar alternative
introduction into the UK market,
sales of Xylitol have risen
sharply due to the health aspect
alone. Xylitol has been
available in Japan for over a
decade and USA for nearly as
long. Peoples concerns over
regular sugar has long been
prominent with many attempts to
reduce sugar in foods and raise
awareness that too much sugar is
very bad for us. Xylitol on the
other hand offers a new concept
on sweeteners as Xylitol is not
just not bad for your teeth like
normal sugar is, it is actually
very good for teeth and can help
reduce cavities and toothache,
it forms a barrier which helps
protect teeth and the enamel.
Fruit and veg such as mushrooms,
berries and plumbs contain small
amounts of Xylitol but the
amounts are so small that by the
time we get to eat them there is
often not much left inside at
all. So to be able to buy
Xylitol and use it in your food
and drinks is great news.
Another
great aspect about xylitol
(aside from its taste) is that
it can activate the glutathonie
pathway in the body. Glutathonie
is one of the bodies most
powerful antioxidants. Red blood
cells take up Xylitol quickly
and quench free radical damage
so it is important to have a
daily intake or dose of Xylitol
in your diet.
It is important to use the
real Xylitol and not a cheaper
imitation or an alternative
using Xylitol as an ingredient
as the rest of the ingredients
may make the sweetener harmful
and not good for you due to
added impurities.
Our Xylitol is made from the
birch tree.
Xylitol acts as a fibre when
unabsorbed and it is good as a
long lasting energy source.
