WHAT IS XYLITOL?
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol (sugar alcohols are neither sugars
nor alcohols) and a sugar alternative and is metabolized independent
of insulin. Small amounts are naturally found in fruits and
vegetables. Sugar alcohols can be manufactured from corn,
corn husks and specific hardwoods (birch). Sugar alcohols
are only partly absorbed by your body, therefore increase
blood glucose more slowly, have fewer calories and carbohydrates
than sugar and CONTAIN NO SUGAR.
The Glycemic Index of Food
The Glycemic Index is a scale that ranks carbohydrate-rich
foods by how much they raise blood glucose levels compared
to a standard food.
The standard food is glucose or white bread. Eating foods
with low glycemic index ratings may help you to control your
blood glucose, your cholesterol level, your appetite and reduce
your risk of heart disease or Type 2 Diabetes.
Depending on your personal disposition or medical condition,
the Canadian Diabetic Association recommends that a registered
dietitian should be consulted for guidance on food related
issues, as effects on blood glucose levels may vary from person
to person.
Xylitol -The Glycemic Index rating
is 7 vs. 100 for Sugar.
Xylitol - Spreads contain 40% less Carbs, 60% less
Calories, 90% less Sugar
than our sugar sweetened jams(1g sugar vs10-12g sugar per15
mL serving).
Xylitol - Tastes like sugar and looks like sugar
Xylitol - Is approved by the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection
Agency)
by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
by the WHO (World Health Organization) and over 35 countries
worldwide.

THE SWEET MIRACLE OF XYLITOL
The All-Natural Sugar Substitute by Fran Gare, N.D.
Please be aware :
The shelf life of our Xylitol products is currently given
at a conservative "Best before"12 months and we
request that you store them in a cool place.
This is simply a precaution we decided to take - even though
we know that the given shelf life exceeds the given time period.Time
and experience will allow us to extend this time frame and
storage conditions.Refrigerate after opening as any other
product.
Animals metabolize food completely differently from humans.
Most people are aware that sugar and chocolate are not good
for our four legged begging friends. It is alleged, yet not
proven, that Xylitol should be added to the
NO-NO's for animals.
Our Spreads - (Jam- like Products)
As mandated by food legislation, condiments that are sweetened
with fruit sugar, fruit concentrates, sugar alternatives or
are extremely low in their sugar content can not be named
"jams"
