We've been using it for a while here. I use it in lots of stuff, tea, baked goods, whatever.

like it a lot. growing some stevia too.

I stopped using sugar about 4-5 years ago. Never a big sugar user to begin with, started by substituing with honey. Good local raw honey is great, I kind of juggle the two, honey/xylitol these days. I really like the way the xylitol tastes. I bought some xylitol raspberry jam, i think it was the best jam I have ever had.

Someone told me that xylitol actually enters the cells of bacteria in your system and kills them. Not sure about that but during all of my mercury posioning episode I never developed a candida yeast problem for instance, like so many do. May be related. Nice thing about xylitol is that it will help bring an acid ph back to normal, like calcium also does. Which is another reason Russ should not hesitate to eat those mints. i have some too, they are great, rather expensive though.

big difference between corn derived and birch derived xylitol btw, i have found the birch to be much sweeter. Twice as expensive again though. Great price on your mints Russ!
