Product Description

Flavor: 100% Pure | Size: 2.5 lbs

Product Description

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is naturally present in small amounts in various fruits and vegetables. NOW Xylitol is derived from a corn source.

It resembles sugar in consistency and taste, but has a third fewer calories and is a great sugar alternative for diabetics. Xylitol may also inhibit cavities by denying plaque bateria the fuel (sugar) it needs to erode tooth enamel. It can also be used as a sugar substitute in most sugar-free recipes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sweetener but learn about the product, January 1, 2009
By D. M. Wilburn (Houlton, Maine) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wanted to share that my own experience with finding xylitol was nothing short of a miracle. I can enjoy food in moderation that I was denying myself. I say moderation, because xylitol can cause soft or even liquid stool if you overdo it. It's not safe for pets because they get severe hypoglycemia quickly which can kill them, especially puppies and kittens. What I do is mix this with stevia drops and I can then use that concentration for coffee and tea all day without ill effects. I feel I need to address some reviews that people have on xylitol, not necessarily from Now foods specifically. I am concerned about people buying a new product without checking what it is and then giving it bad reviews for effects written clearly on the bag. It would be different if the manufacturer was being deceptive but honestly, don't feed your kids something if you don't know what it is and then want it taken off the market. For some people this is a miracle food. Research any food you are going to put into your body or even bring into your home. It is not a manufacturers job or governments job to tell you what to eat. I'm not saying this to be mean, it's just that we've become way too passive about our own responsibility.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dog owners be careful, August 10, 2008
By kalyson (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This stuff is very toxic to dogs. Don't let them have any of it, not even small quantities. If you want a sweetener like this but without such toxicity to dogs, get Erythritol. Same sort of thing -- a sugar alcohol, but not dangerous for animals. Also, it does not have the same digestive effects (gas, bloating, diarrhea) that Xylitol does. It is maybe a little less sweet than Xylitol, however.

Note: If I were going to buy it, I'd try this company. I've ordered Erythritol from them and it was a VERY high quality. When I tried it from EmeraldForestXylitol.com, I found it had a horrible, strange smell and faint aftertaste. I called to return the items and was treated very badly by their customer service. EmeraldForest is getting their products made in China, and I wonder why it has that horrible odor. Kinda scary. I'm sticking with NOW Foods at this point.

5.0 out of 5 stars this stuff is amazing!, March 17, 2008
By ozonejunkie (new york, new york) - See all my reviews
i found all the things that i heard about xylitol to be true:
- it doesn't give you the sugar rush. so you don't have any more cravings for sweet stuff. sweets become like any other food to you.

- you have a fresh feeling in your mouth. you don't have that crazy craving for something to drink.

- have you ever noticed that your teeth feel kind of sticky and dirty after you had a chocolate bar? and did it feel like you have to wash them immediately? well, xylitol seems to take care of that. after drinking a hot chocolate sweetened with xylitol your teeth feel like freshly brushed.

- it's great for baking

- it's just great. period

and it's 100% natural!

ever since i started using xylitol i stopped using sugar and it cured me of my sugar addiction but i still can enjoy sweets! i don't ever wanna miss it!
