      Xylitol is a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols affect different people differently.

          Personally, I've found that ingesting more than 10g of sugar alcohols for me causes weight gain.

              You might try erythritol....it had the smallest affect, when any, on test subjects in regard to blood sugar response. http://altmedicine.about.com/od/herb...erythritol.htm
