I don't know anything about Xylitol except that it's in gum and
mints you can get over here in Asia. I've never had a problem with
it in that respect. But have you tried Stevia? It's also a natural
sweetener made from a herb. It is much sweeter than any of the
other sweeteners and you only need to use a tiny bit. Not sure if
you can bake with it though. -- Britta

I haven't tried it. I'm not totally on board with something "much
sweeter" than other sweeteners, since things like Splenda are already
intolerably sweet for me. Or what were those little pills? Yech!

I would much rather use something much sweeter than sugar. That way you
only have to use a tiny bit. One packet of Stevia would last me for 5 cups
of coffee or tea. This makes it very cheap and also you're taking in less
substance.
