Xylitol

Xylitol is a sugar-free alternative for baking.  It is naturally occurring low-calorie sweetener found in fruits, vegetables and certain hardwoods. Our bodies can produce up to 15 grams of xylitol per day from the foods we consume. Xylitol produces a lower glycemic response than sucrose or glucose so it has minimal side effects on blood sugar and insulin. It is not as low as erythritol (Swerve).  Some people prefer the taste of xylitol as compared to erythritol.   This one is worth some researching for yourself!
