Xylitol is a sweetener classified as a "sugar alcohol" that is derived from non-GMO corn.
Unlike sugars like sucrose and fructose, xylitol does not cause cavities. Although classified as a carbohydrate, xylitol has a low glycemic effect due to its slow absorption in the digestive tract, and its caloric impact is about 1/3 lower than other carbohydrates, making it a healthy sweetener that is hard to beat.
