XYLITOL. Non-insulin producing sugar-alcohol looks and tastes like sucrose but 
a bit sweeter and "cooler" in the mouth. Found in many fruits & vegetables, it 
is produced from birch wood or corn cobs. Has anabolic, anticatabolic and 
immune stimulating effects, and fights fatigue from strenuous aerobic and 
anaerobic activities with its antioxidant and ATP increasing properties. 
Studies show it inhibits bacteria that cause dental caries, plaque, mouth sores 
& ear infections by coating the bacteria so that they are less likely to adhere 
to cells. Children taking 8g/day had 40% fewer ear infections. A 5% solution in 
saline is sold as a nasal spray. Use with green tea for a mouthwash you can 
drink. Builds stronger bones and tooth enamel. With only 2.4 Calories per gram 
(40% fewer than sugar) and a glycemic index of 7, it maintains a steady low 
level of blood sugar and insulin. Our best sweetener! 1 lb., $6.00. Code 707.5
