Xylitol
ZIO
Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol (polyol) found in many fruits, vegetables, and plant materials such as birch wood and corn cobs. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a refreshing sweet taste. Its sweetness is about 95% of sucrose, but with only 60% of the calories (2.4 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar).
With a low glycemic index (GI=7), xylitol has minimal effect on blood glucose and insulin levels, making it an ideal sugar substitute for diabetics, weight management, and low-carb diets. Additionally, xylitol is well-known for its dental health benefits, as it inhibits Streptococcus mutans (the bacteria responsible for cavities) and helps reduce the risk of tooth decay.
