Total Sweet - Xylitol

Tooth-friendly and 40% fewer calories than sugar!

Completely natural, this low carb, low glycemic index sugar alternative brings many health benefits, making it perfect for dieters, diabetics, children, and anyone concerned about oral health and general well-being.

Because xylitol releases its energy much slower than any other sugar or sweetener, people who eat it in the place of sugar feel fuller for longer and are less likely to snack (1). This makes Total Sweet ideal for those on low GI diets, as well as diabetics who need to keep their blood sugar stable.

Xylitol contains 40% fewer calories than conventional sugar and has a glycemic index count of just seven, compared to conventional sugar (which has a GI of 64). That means you would have to eat up to seven times as much Total Sweet to have the same effect on your blood sugar – or your hips. For those on a low carb diet, xylitol makes an ideal companion too, with 75% fewer available carbohydrates than sugar.

Total Sweet has a number of other surprising health benefits, which makes it much more than just another alternative to sugar, from helping prevent tooth decay and ear infections to helping counter osteoporosis (please see below).

Total Sweet can be used one for one just like sugar in cooking and can be added to a range of food and drinks such as tea, coffee, smoothies, cereals, puddings, or snacks, it can turn everyday drinks and food into delicious health products.

"We all know the consequences of our addiction to sugar: weight gain, mood swings, skin problems, diabetes, oral cavities and even infections such as overgrowth of Candida Albicans, which is though to lead to thrush and many other afflictions," says Edward Baylis at Total Sweet. "But until now there just hasn't been a satisfactory, non-chemical alternative to sugar. The most exciting thing about Total Sweet is that for the first time we have a 100% natural, completely healthy product, that is not only as delicious as the stuff we're used to, but actually delivers a host of positive health benefits. This is the kind of product parents will be encouraging their kids to eat!"

Oral Health

One of the major discoveries in respect to xylitol was that when it is broken down in the mouth and stomach it produces an alkaline environment, rather than an acidic one like sugar. In this alkaline environment the bacteria that cause tooth decay can't survive and decay is prevented. The environment which is created also favours calcium and mineral absorption so enamel decay is even seen to be reversed.

Osteoporosis

Increased calcium absorption in the stomach has led to studies observing a much improved bone density (stronger bones) when using xylitol regularly. This could be a huge help for those living with conditions such as osteoporosis.

Bacterial and Yeast Infections

The environment created by xylitol, in which bacteria cannot survive, has further led to the discovery that ear infections, and other bacterial and yeast infections (such as thrush), can help to be prevented when using it. There has been particular interest in the use of xylitol to help prevent ear infections, especially in children.
