A few years ago, I discovered an awesome company with a range of products that can help out you and your family in an extremely natural way. Xlear, founded by Dr. Alonzo H. Jones in June of 2000, manufactures all-natural and health enhancing products. They are "recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of xylitol products". What first caught my attention to this amazing brand was how xylitol had an affect on ear infections in children. Then I quickly realized that it was actually huge in the world of oral care because of its effects.
With Easter over the past weekend and Earth Day coming up, I figured what better time than to share another one of their amazing products with my readers. Xlear sent me over their XyloSweet Sweetener to review which I had first tried while in Cancun as a Brand Ambassador for the company. Now I am not a sugar or sweets loving person at all and in fact barely use sugar for much but when I do, I am quite picky about it.
I cannot stand product which use sugar substitutes like Splenda or Truvia. I think they have terrible aftertastes and honestly they are worse for you if you do your research. When I first heard about the Xlear and all the benefits it can have, I knew I wanted to give XyloSweet Sweetener a try at least once. Xlear originally began with Xlear® Nasal Sprays back in 2000 but has quickly expanded their line of products to include XyloSweet® (Xylitol sweetener), Spry Dental Defense System® (Xylitol gum, mints and other oral care), and SparX® (Xylitol candy). Each product contains 100% safe, all natural, organic xylitol.
"Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body." Studies have shown that Xylitol or products containing Xylitol, have 40% fewer calories than normal sweetened products, less affects on tooth decay, and has little effect on blood sugar levels.
I love using the XyloSweet Sweetener now! If I decide I need to add a bit of sugar to my to my coffee or possibly when making coleslaw or baking, you can believe it is going to be XyloSweet Sweetener! Not only does this taste just like normal sugar, but it has no after taste and beside the oral benefits, this can also help me with my dieting!!

I do like Xylitol products and I have used the Nasal Spray which my family needs for allergies. I would like to try this sweetener also, and I will only use natural sweetener products.

I am trying to cut back sugar in my life as well as my 2 boys lives, this would be a great product to substitute.
ReplyDeleteEven though I've been gardening for a long time, I could probably use the book for more information
ReplyDeleteI have recently given up sugar and artificial sweeteners in order to cleanse my liver help relieve some health issues. I have tried tried the Xylitol gum and now am ready to try the sweetener. I have heard that it does not have an aftertaste or raise blood sugars too quickly.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this, but agree that Splenda or Truvia have an aftertaste that I don't like.

I'm not entering, just wanted to put it out there that xylitol is TOXIC to pets, so if you win this don't let them near it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting! I will definitely do some research! Thank you for sharing
DeleteI am looking forward to the packets to use in my coffee
ReplyDeleteI would love to try making some iced tea with this! I am using Stevia now and I know it's not the best thing for me. This product would be so much better! Wish I had heard of this before!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of Xylitol before, but I haven't tried it. I usually use a sucralose sweetener most of the time since I am diabetic. Mostly I use sweeteners in coffee and sometimes on cereal. For our baking, we just use sugar and I watch how much of the baked goods that I eat. I'd like to try this, since it is all natural too.
