I have been looking for an alternative for sugar, which has a low glycemic index and sugar taste comes as close as possible. Since I do not accept the usual sweeteners and stevia my taste at all does not apply, a friend gave me Birkenzucker aka xylitol. I was pleasantly surprised that this is not very different in taste of refined sugar and also from the haptic ago is almost exactly. He seems to be somewhat sticky, otherwise top. Considering the fact that you can not caramelize this sugar or pull yeast, this is a wonderful alternative that can also accept my husband. Since we generally do not use a lot of sugar, the higher price is bearable. Go I have got a little bag filled, the office is also a small tin. Attention acts like most sugar substitutes laxative in large quantities.
