[OT] Experiences with Xylitol (sugar substitute)?
Someone pointed me to Xylitol as a sugar substitute, particularly for
baking. It apparently has dental benefits and fewer calories than sugar. This person said that she has even made a creme brule that turned out beautifully. I think she said that, in a recipe calling for sugar, she uses half that amount of Xylitol instead. Has anyone else used this, either as a sweetener or in baking? What are your experiences? I read that it can have a laxative effect in large doses ... that doesn't sound wonderful, but I wonder if the average person using it in normal situations notices the effect. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
