[OT] Experiences with Xylitol (sugar substitute)?
"badwilson" wrote in message ... "Monique Y. Mudama" wrote in message ... On 2006-04-03, Karen penned: I absolutely can't due sugar substitutes. Never have been able to. Splenda maaaaybe in tiny amounts. And if what we were emailing about is a problem for you, I've read and read that sugar substitutes are WAY up on the list of offenders. I wouldn't do it. Well, the reason I'm looking at it is because it's not artificial -- it's sugar made from other plants, like corn and raspberries. It's called sugar alcohol, I think. It also supposedly reduces cavities quite a bit. I could use all the help I can get in that dept. I also can't stand artificial sweeteners. Splenda grosses me out. Nutrasweet? Forget it. 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. I recall seeing recipes using stevia for cooking and baking. I have never tried it though. Winnie -- Britta |
