| I have used it for baking in many different recipes and it is great. My whole family loves it. We have even used it to make homemade ice cream and it has such a great taste. I use similar amounts as I would for sugar and have had great success. The first few days I would suggest not eating too much until your body adjusts to it. It did cause some stomach cramping the first couple of days. Now we use it a lot and have no side affects at all. I would recommend it to anyone. It is a great sugar substitute! |

| Soooo sweet and soooooo very, very much like sugar. Yes! It is expensive but for those special recipes or when you want to fool guests. . .this is just the thing. I never have sugar in my house but xylitol is in the sugar bowl and people never know the difference. It's crystalline like sugar, too. Splenda is a bit too fine grained. Kathy |

| In my household, we have 90% cut out sugar, the other 10% being what we can not pry out of the kids hands. While I can not tolerate more than the smallest amounts of any brand of Xylitol, my spouse can. He uses this on a regular basis in his oats, tea, muffins, and anything else that requires sweetening and he likes this brand. The crystals are a bit larger than sugar, and some other xylitol brands, but not by a huge amount. Really that is the only difference I can tell from the different brands we have tried. |

| Xylitol is a great sweetener for those who can tolerate it. It also helps to fight tooth decay. When baking, we mix it with Erythritol and liquid Splenda. This combo of sweeteners gives a real sugar taste to your low carb creations. Just a very big word of caution. Like chocolate, Xylitol is deadly to dogs, so keep it away from your pets! |

| Xylitol sweetener is an excellent alternative to other non-sugar sweeteners, like Splenda. My father suffers from an irregular heart beat, and Splenda aggravates that condition - severely. But Xylitol has no effect, what so ever. We've been using this non-sugar sweetener for several years now (mixed with Stevia), and with no adverse effects. I use it every Christmas to make home-made, sugar-free chocolates. Has a slight cool taste - kind of like those old menthol cigarettes - LOL! Highly recommended. Enjoy! |

| This is by far the most excellent sweetener on the market. I've used all existing products of sweeteners available, many which are proving to be detrimental to user's health. This is wholly natural, but even more important to me is the taste and the results when using it in baking and cooking. It's fantastic using xylitol for jams and jellies (I use the no sugar pectin). I also use it when canning fruit, and for baking. I am a diabetic, and I substitute xylitol straight across for the sugar called for in all my favorite recipes, and it works, unlike Splenda. There is no after taste when I use it, especially to sweeten fresh fruit or drinks. Can you tell I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread??? Well, xylitol certainly is!!!! p.s. my family dislikes artificial sweeteners...they think I've gone back to using real sugar. |

| Since being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes I have searched and tried dozens of products to curb my sugar addiction. This one is the best. It makes the low carb life bearable and I am sooooo thankful I found it. I use it on cinnamon toast, kool-aid, and in cookies and baked goods...the list goes on and on. Now if only it came in brown sugar too! |

| I guess like any sweetener, some people don't do well with xylitol, but I haven't had any trouble with it! It is EXCELLENT for baking, since it's granular like sugar. I've used it to make excellent low-carb coconut flour brownies. I even cut the amount of xylitol called for in half, and substituted the other half with stevia, and it turned out great.
If consumed alone or sprinkled on something, it may leave a cool sensation in your mouth, like mint gum would, but it's not too strong. Used in baking, I don't notice it at all. |

| Great substitute for sugar, no real aftertaste and it's a better choice for those who are leery of the Equal and Splenda sweeteners. |

| This is horrible I had the runs "Diarear" for days and my stomach hurt a lot. I switch to Erythritol, its suppose to be better on your stomach. Unless you don't mind the pain, I would NOT recommend this item. Also it's not best for diabetics either. |
