Xylitol may equal a lot less cavities!
Verified Purchase
Rewarded Review

It's very hard to find Non-Chinese, Non-GMO supplements anymore. Most companies do not even try to disclose the location of the source material or will try and trick you with Made in the USA or Assembled in the USA or something similarly deceptive. This Xylitol is derived from Birch/Beech trees and is made for Source Naturals (Says so right on the packaging). Most Xylitol is derived from GMO Corn and comes out of China... this is not to say that Chinese Supplements can not be good... but how can we really know. In light of past problems surfacing with Chinese imported supplements I try to avoid them (It's not really possible though... for example Doctors Best makes pretty good supplements and they were sold to a Chinese Company. I'm against supporting Communism in General... so I try to buy USA sourced products. Anyhow, I like the taste. I do not really eat the stuff... but I use it in Nasal Rinse and as a Dental Rinse. If you have the time do a big of research about Finland and how Xylitol has cut the rate of tooth decay in kids. They have been using it for decades. Also TEST your tolerance if you are going to ingest it as a sugar substitute because it can cause distress if taken in larger amounts. I use about 5 grams tops and very little actually gets into my digestive system. You can dig a bit deeper as to what happens then... the bacteria in your digestive tract create Short Chain Fatty Acids... which can actually be a good thing. In all my research I have not found much in the way of negative findings... except for some digestive distress in those who are susceptible. It does (to me) taste just like sugar.

SOURCE FROM BEECH WOOD
Verified Purchase

Love it source from beech wood rather than other brands that source from corn. The only issue I got is that this product is too good and always out of stock.

This is the safest sugar substitute and it does taste similar to sugar only not quite as sweet. I appreciate the larger size so I can use it longer. The quality of the crystals is outstanding.

This 2 lbs. can is the right size for me. not too big or not too small; could last for a few months and fit into the kitchen cabinet space.

Granulated, dissolves fine. I like it in coffee and occasionally during the day to freshen my breath. Make sure to keep it away from curious pets.

It tastes like real sugar. However, it is a little pricy.

Great product!
Verified Purchase

I love this product!! It's from birch trees, not corn, which is the first plus. It doesn't have an aftertaste, and it's actually a bit sweeter than sugar so I use a bit less in my recipes & they turn out amazing. No one can tell that they aren't made with sugar!!

Best Xylitol sugar I've purchased
Verified Purchase

I've purchased numerous xylitol brands for quite a few years and this is by far the best. It only has clear, sweet taste, nothing else, and the level of sweetness is perfect for me. Also, its large granular size makes me feel as if I am eating some sort of hard candies. For reference, I use it to neutralize my mouth after eating acidic foods or drinking coffee. I spit it out after a while instead of swallowing. Purchasing again.

My only sweetener!
Verified Purchase

Xylismart is pure birch sugar alcohol and is as sweet as table sugar. It is the only sugar I use because it does not deplete ones' health. The bad things sugar does to the human body are too numerous to list. I only wish there was a five pound bag size I could get!

Xylitol from Birch trees
Verified Purchase

I have used xylitol from birch trees and other xylitol from different sources, I have only noticed improved digestion and oral health with the xylitol from birch - and so has a friend of mine. I really think it's great that xylitol from birch can be bought here for a fair price (about equal to high quality xylitol sold where I live) and I'm not finding the larger sized granules from this one a problem for my uses for it (coffee, tea and cocoa). I notice no aftertaste whatsoever - tastes just like cane sugar. I would defintely recommend this to people back in the States.
