More About the Author
Many years ago I was experiencing a number of health problems. I was not getting acceptable results from my family doctor, so I decided to investigate some alternative healing methods. I found that natural herbs and supplements that were available through a multi-level marketing corporation began to help me considerably, and I became active as a manager in sales to others also. Because I wanted to increase my own knowledge, I discovered that there were several alternative colleges that offered degrees in holistic health. I subsequently enrolled in Clayton College of Natural Health as a PhD candidate. As I prepared my doctoral dissertation on healing periodontal disease, I discovered that xylitol would be very helpful in dealing with my dental and blood sugar issues, and that it was a natural sweetener. I began using xylitol in my desserts and beverages, and, because I found that it worked so well in recipes that I had modified, I decided to write and publish a cookbook containing desserts and other sweets that most people would be familiar with, except that xylitol was used as the primary sweetener in place of refined sugar. Companies that I bought my xylitol from also seemed very interested in this type of cookbook and were willing to buy it in quantity. As I continued to develop new recipes as well as refining and improving the original recipes, I decided to update the cookbook with a second edition, the one being sold on Amazon.com at the present time. As I have applied the principles I have learned over the last several years of ongoing study of alternative methods of eating and healing, I can now state emphatically that I am in better health now than at any time in my past. My goal is to continue to provide others with the benefit of my knowledge, and that is why I have started a new website, karenshealthykitchen.com, to sell products that are beneficial to people who may have dental and physical health issues, and to provide as much information as possible about other products and healing modalities that I have become familiar with also.

This review is from: Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way (Hardcover)
I am really enjoying and benefiting from Karen Edward's cookbook. I have been cooking and baking with Xylitol for over a year, trying to adapt favorite recipes for my father who is diabetic. Karen's cookbook has now enabled me to bake healthy deserts that my father really enjoys. Karen has tried and proven all her recipes on family and friends, so I can use her recipes with confidence. She is such a professional baker, but her recipes are easy to follow. Everything I have made is very delicious. If you like lemony things, you will flip over her Lemon Pecan Cookies. I love to eat them warm right out of the oven. I linger over every bite to savor the lemon zest as it melts in my mouth. If that makes your mouth water, then I encourage you to buy her second edition of "Sweeten Your Life The Xylitol Way."

About time!,
By Spread the Word "Jamia" (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way (Hardcover)
This book contains wondeful recepies that are not just "sugar free", but also take in consideration that white flour is bad for us also. So many claim to be healthy, but then use white flour as an ingredient! Xylitol is a healthy sweetener, used a lot in other countires, even actually GOOD for us! Put your foot down and say no to sugar consumption, especially for our children. Xylitol is also great for our teeth and resporatory
system. Learn about it. Check out xlear.com Thanks for listening.

This review is from: Sweeten Your Life the Xylitol Way (Hardcover)
made the lemon cheesecake, was told by many that it was the best cheesecake they had ever eaten (trust me, not because I'm a good cook whatsoever). the xylitol makes the cheesecake sweet but not overpowering, as many cheesecakes tend to be. perfect blend of health and taste, excited to try to make other desserts from it
