NATURAL SWEETNESS WITH XYLITOL

A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE

Xylitol, or birch sugar as it is also known, is a sugar alcohol found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables. The name Xylitol comes from classical Greek (xylon), 'tree', and the suffix -itol used for sugar alcohols. Xylitol is and is thus declared as a sugar alcohol (polyol) that has no major impact on blood sugar.

An extra note to all dog lovers out there - unlike the human body, Xylitol is not broken down by our four-legged friends and in larger quantities can therefore be dangerous for them. Take care of your animal friends and avoid giving your dogs products containing Xylitol. The good news is that there will be treats left for you!
