Diabetics are turning to xylitol as a healthy alternative as well.
Since your body already produces xylitol naturally (as it breaks down some of the fruits and vegetables you eat), your internal systems are accustomed to processing it. That’s the primary difference between it and artificial sweeteners that routinely come into question for their effects on the body. No major xylitol side effects have been found to exist.
