Somehow i get to know about this "wonder sugar" from a visit to the dentist.
As part of patient and parent education, i was told that this sugar will not cause tooth decay!!
I went immediately to supermarket at Tanglin Place to get it. To my surprise, its more expensive than a pack of rice at its peak.
The internet has many references on it. Please read more about it!!
Here's what i have learnt (in brief):
1. Xylitol is natural sugar found in corn and birch tree.
2. Suitable for diabetic and it does not need insulin to digest since its different in molecular structure from sugar
3. Xylitol can be used in preventing tooth decay through its anti bacterial effect
Its simple to use, just replace it with normal sugar in cooking or baking
