What is xylitol?

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that comes naturally from corncobs or birch trees. Xylitol is a sugar that has a crystalline, granular structure and sweetness which is very similar to sugar. It also naturally occurs in many fruits and veggies and is even produced by the human body!

The key here is that your body does not absorb sugar alcohol the same as it does regular sugars, so this means a lower insulin response when consuming xylitol.

What are the benefits of Xylitol?

  • Oral health. Xylitol helps starve a type of bacteria called Streptococcus mutans. These bacterias take sugar from the food we eat, ferment it and create an acid. This acid erodes away the enamel of teeth causing decay.
  • Calcium absorption and stronger bones. Xylitol has been shown to aid in calcium absorption, a big thing when talking about prevention of osteoporosis and dental issues.
  • Starvation of bacterias that cause infections. Studies have shown that xylitol helps starve certain bacterias that cause yeast infections and ear infections

All these benefits apply to xylitol when consumed in moderation.

Morning prep xylitol 100% pure

The xylitol that I received from Morning Pep is derived from birch trees grown in the united states. It is made out of quality hardwood birch trees and is absolutely pesticide free.

I will also some good information that was found on the back of the package;

  • Replaces sugar in equal measurements
  • 40% fewer calories than sugar and 75% fewer carbohydrates
  • Supports dental health ( even improves it by fighting plaque)
  • No aftertaste- unline most sugar substitutes
  • Safe for diabetics- low glycemic index
  • Kosher certified
  • Free of GMO, Corn, Wheat, Gluten, Soy & Dairy
  • Allergen-free

Another thing that you have to make sure to be aware of is that even though xylitol is safe for humans it is not for dogs! So make sure to store your xylitol away from your pups to keep them safe!

Disclaimer

I have received this xylitol from morning pep free of charge to try out and provide you guys with an honest opinion. I have come up with a strawberry simple syrup recipe using the low carb sweetener to use with my lemonades since it is getting a little warmer but it could definitely be used for cocktails as well!

 

Why low carb/keto strawberry simple syrup?

I decided to make this recipe because I was in desperate need for something super refreshing during the Ramadhan month!

I went with strawberries for this one because for some reason they keep having sales on these beautiful fruits so I could not say no to something as yummy as strawberries!

I’ve actually been having strawberries in my fridge for the past couple weeks and they really do make the best snack or dessert ever!!!

I also figured that many people who are trying to cut down on sugar don’t have many options when it comes to flavored simple syrups! So I thought why not try and make a keto simple syrup using the strawberries that I had in the fridge and my xylitol sweetener.

I hope you guys find this simple 3 ingredient strawberry low carb simple syrup super easy to make and satisfying to enjoy!
