Keep the Sweet in New Year’s Diets with XyloSweet


Pure xylitol sweetener provides sweet, healthy alternative to sugar.

OREM, UT (PRWEB) December 30, 2005 -- Millions of people across the country are about to commit to one of the most common New Year’s resolutions; going on a diet. In addition to eating less and exercising more, many people are determined to start cooking healthier foods. Unfortunately, in many minds, healthy is often synonymous with “no flavor,” or “no sweets.” With XyloSweet from Xlear, Inc., dieters will not only reduce their daily calories and carbohydrates, they can keep the sweet, flavorful foods in their diets.

XyloSweet is an all natural xylitol sweetener that provides a safe way for weight conscious individuals, and even diabetics, to sweeten everything from their morning beverage to their banana bread. XyloSweet can be exchanged for common table sugar at a one-to-one ratio, and because it dissolves, mixes and behaves like sugar, it can be used in most recipes that call for common sugar.

“XyloSweet is an ideal alternative for sugar because it tastes good and provides a number of health benefits that you can’t get from other sweeteners,” said Nathan Jones, president of Xlear, Inc. “With XyloSweet, dieters can continue to sweeten their cereal and other foods without worrying about the affects of sugar. Xylitol is an all natural product and completely safe for children and adults. As a food additive, it continues to receive commendations from the medical and dental communities, including the National Institute of Health, the U.S. Surgeon General, U.S. Federal Drug Administration and the World Health Organization.”

The sweetener has a minimal impact on blood-sugar levels, making it an appropriate sugar substitute for diabetics and hypoglycemics. Xylitol is absorbed slowly by the body, resulting in a low glycemic index of seven compared to sugar’s index of 83 (or higher). In addition, because xylitol has 40 percent fewer calories, it can also be used as a sugar substitute in many of today’s popular diets. Xylitol is considered a sugar alcohol and has zero net effective carbohydrates, which means xylitol is not digested and processed by the body as a dietary carbohydrate.

XyloSweet is available through Xlear.com in single serving packets, and one, three and five pound bags. The product can also be purchased through one of thousands of retail outlets across the country.
