I have been using Xylitol in everything that I make. I have found that everyone thinks that I use regular sugar. I have kept the weight off using Xylitol. I had a sugar problem, not from using regular sugar, but it is just something that happened to me. I started using Xylitol, and I went from a size 14 to size 10. My weight stays the same since I have been using this product. I learned about Xylitol from my alternative doctor. Thanks for such a great product.
