[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1346022, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=210735]@Kyambala[/USER], Xylitol seems to be a sugar alcohol that's been around for quite a while. I've read somewhere (don't recall where) that it was widely used in Finland during WWII due to a lack of regular sugar at the time. I agree that we can never be entirely sure about the long-term effect of anything on our health. (I certainly didn't dream that there would be anything wrong with bread or potatoes or even fruit juices until I was diagnosed as diabetic.) I hope that the extended period of time that xylitol has been around would have alerted us to any really big problems if there are any. By the way, I have heard many good things about erythritol -- good taste, no calories and fewer gastrointestinal problems, but haven't tried it yet. [/QUOTE]
