Great product! From corn, not birch
If you do some research on natural sweeteners with a zero glycemic index, you will see that Erythritol is one of the best. It is a sugar alcohol found in various fruits and vegetables like Xylitol. But unlike Xylitol, it is not dangerously toxic to dogs and does not have bloating, gaseous effects. If you don't need a sweetener without blood sugar effects, you can look at brown rice syrup or agave, since they have a very low effect on blood sugar. If you want no blood sugar effects at all, I'd recommend this, since it has a very nice taste (like sugar) with no aftertaste. Stevia is another option, but is very strong and has a less appealing taste. If you use even a bit too much, Stevia generally has a rather bitter aftertaste. This is not true of Erythritol.I would say the only downside is the cost and that it is only 70% as sweet as sugar. You can spike it with Stevia to make up the difference if you like Stevia. It doesn't take much to add to get it a lot sweeter. You...

The best natural sugar substitute available
Now Foods' erythritol is a sugar substitute made from corn. By fermenting the corn's sugars, the manufacturer produces a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol product. Sugar alcohols taste exactly like sugar, but without the calories and blood sugar spike. And they are alcohols in chemistry terms only, not to be confused with the kind of alcohol one finds in adult beverages.PROS:* Tastes just like sugar and has no unpleasant aftertastes, unlike stevia.* Has a glycemic index of zero. Great for diabetics or those simply wishing to eliminate excess sugar from their diets.* Contains virtually no calories.* Made by a manufacturer committed to a wide range of sweeteners and food products, so the company is experienced and trusted in its field.* Erythritol occurs naturally in many foods. The FDA recognizes it as a viable and safe sugar substitute. Erythritol-based sweeteners have been on the market in other countries for...

Pure sweet
This is the best non caloric sweetener, hands down. It tastes remarkably similar to sugar. So far I haven't found anything it doesn't work with, but I will admit I haven't tried making any chocolates or frostings with it, lol. It's great in drinks and baked goods, though!

I LOVE Erythritol
Erythritol is not nearly as popular as it should be, which is a shame. It tastes just like sugar with some differences.-It sometimes has a cooling effect, like winter-green candies, but it can be countered with mixing it 1:1 with splenda.-It does not have a nasty after-taste, but it is only about 75% as sweet as sugar, so splenda comes in handy for mixing here also. This mixture does double duty since erythritol counteracts the splenda after-taste. -Erythritol is heat stable so you can bake and cook with it.-It does not get syrupy or sticky like sugar.-It does not really caramelize like sugar.-Some cookies still have that cooling effect even with the splenda mixture.-It is possible to make powdered sugar by throwing it in the blender and blending for a bit.-It does not dissolve as easily as sugar in cold drinks.Some good things to note.-Does not give stomach problems like other alcohol sugars.-It does not cause tooth...

The premier bulk sweetener
Erythritol is the bulk sweetener that the sugar free food manufacturers should be using. It has many advantages over the ones most used by the manufacturers such as maltitol, sorbitol, mannitol, lactitol and xylitol. First, Erythritol has only 5 calories per ounce while the others have between 40 and 90 calories per ounce. Also, Erythritol has a glycemic index near zero while the others can be as high as in the 50's such as maltitol syrup. A low glycemic index is highly desirable as it does not cause an insulin spike which is a problem for those of us who are prone to overeat. Also, and most importantly, Erythritol has a far better laxation threshold than the others. For the uninitiated, this means that one can eat twice (or three times) as much erythritol as the others before having to go to the bathroom. Some of the candy makers used to use Erythritol in their sugar free candy bars but they stopped and substituted maltitol. Hershey foods in particular should bow their heads in shame...

Wonderful sugar substitute
I have been using this product for a year and a half with great appreciation. It is lovely to have sugar in my coffee, and I make low carb jam with cranberries that is dynamite:RECIPE [ 1 pack cranberries, 1 c. erythritol, 1 cup water, ]3 whole cloves. I boil this until all the berries have popped. You could make it sweeter if you like. A slight sugar crust forms on top.]There is a slight cooling effect which I NEVER notice. I NEVER have gastric bloating, cramping or gas like other products. It is good for your teeth. It doesn't grow yeast. It tastes great, no bitter after-taste.I make folks try it and they can't believe how good it its.It sure helps to make pies that I can eat during the holidays.And I have lost 120 lbs this year (NO surgery!).

The best out there...
After trying many different "natural" sweeteners or sugar substitutes, Z Sweet is the best out there. It has no after taste and works and tastes just like sugar. I highly recommend it to anyone who can't take sugar and doesn't want an artificial, man made substitute.

Zsweet is the best
My mom and I are both diabetics and have tried every sweetener out there. Zsweet is by far the best. There are a few that I could use but my mother never found one that she could stand the taste of. This one passes her taste test with fling colors. She uses it to bake cookies, make jello and to sweeten even her first cup of coffee. It did not pass her cake test (it came out more like brownies), but she has read up on different ways to make it more cake like and will try again.

Sweet!
This stuff works well as a sweetener and is a great replacement for sugar, splenda, equal, etc. You will go through the bag fairly quickly as it's not quite as sweet as sugar.It gives off a little minty cooling effect as it's dissolving and a little of that taste remains. It can be distracting in certain beverages, enhance others, and be unnoticeable in others. For the most part though, it will sweeten without too many compromises.

Product Description

Emerald Forest Erythritol is a sweeter, healthier, smarter choice than other sweeteners. Our Erythritol is made from all natural sugar. It's safe for diabetics: it scores a zero on the glycemic index - sugar is 68. Therefore, erythritol doesn’t affect blood sugar or insulin levels. It has 0.2 calories per gram and zero carbohydrates. It's slightly less sweet than sugar (or xylitol). It's ideal for baking, and sweetening coffee, tea or cereal. Classified as a sugar alcohol or polyol, erythritol can be manufactured from starches or extracted from plants. It’s naturally occurring in our bodies, and can be found in some fruits and vegetables. Sugar alcohols like erythritol and xylitol are dental friendly. It cannot be metabolized by oral bacteria so it doesn’t contribute to tooth decay. Sugar alcohols create an alkaline environment in the mouth instead of an acidic environment. Erythritol is unique among sugar alcohols as 90% is absorbed, but not metabolized, in the small intestine and then eliminated through normal bodily functions. As a result, it has the highest digestive tolerance of all sugar alcohols. Erythritol is made from sugar which is then liquefied and a natural fermentation ingredient is added. The solution is purified by ultra filtration and is then crystallized resulting in erythritol with a purity of over 99.5%. The manufacture of erythritol complies with FDA regulations. Erythritol has a low molecular weight which means it won’t brown the way other sugars do when baked but it will extend the shelf life of products it’s used in. The benefits of using erythritol as a healthy alternative to sugar and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene have been recognized by the American Dental Association. Emerald Forest Sugar, Inc is committed to making the highest quality all natural sweeteners and snacks available. Call us at 303.991.1999 or visit www.emeraldforestxylitol.com. Top to learn more

Great Sweetener but learn about the product
I wanted to share that my own experience with finding xylitol was nothing short of a miracle. I can enjoy food in moderation that I was denying myself. I say moderation, because xylitol can cause soft or even liquid stool if you overdo it. It's not safe for pets because they get severe hypoglycemia quickly which can kill them, especially puppies and kittens. What I do is mix this with stevia drops and I can then use that concentration for coffee and tea all day without ill effects. I feel I need to address some reviews that people have on xylitol, not necessarily from Now foods specifically. I am concerned about people buying a new product without checking what it is and then giving it bad reviews for effects written clearly on the bag. It would be different if the manufacturer was being deceptive but honestly, don't feed your kids something if you don't know what it is and then want it taken off the market. For some people this is a miracle food. Research any food you are...

100% Pure Natural Sweetener Non-GMO Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is naturally present in small amounts in various fruits and vegetables. it was originally extracted from birch trees in Finland. NOW Xylitol is derived from Non-GMO corn. It is comparable to xylitol derived from other sources, such as birch. It resembles sugar in consistency and taste, but has a third fewer calories and is a great sugar alternative for diabetics. Xylitol may also inhibit cavities by denying plaque bacteria the fuel (sugar) it needs to erode tooth enamel. It can be used as a sugar substitute in most sugar-free recipes. Top to learn more

This is a great product - (Dog owners be careful)
Great product, great company. High quality xylitol made from corn, not birch.However, this stuff is very toxic to dogs. Don't let them have any of it, not even small quantities. If you want a sweetener like this but without such toxicity to dogs, get Erythritol. Same sort of thing -- a sugar alcohol, but not dangerous for animals. Also, it does not have the same digestive effects (gas, bloating, diarrhea) that Xylitol does. It is maybe a little less sweet than Xylitol, however.This does not mean it is bad for people - for example, chocolate is fine for people but also toxic to dogs.Note: When I do buy it, I use this company. I've ordered Xylitol and Erythritol from them and they were VERY high quality. When I tried it from EmeraldForest, I found some products had a horrible, strange smell and faint aftertaste. I called to return the items and was treated very badly by their customer service. EmeraldForest is getting some of their products made...

xylitol
As described by other reviewers, I just wanted to add in response to an above revie, I have successfully used this with a yeast recipe. All you have to do is proof the yeast in the beginning with a teaspoon of real sugar to make it foam and then you can use xylitol as the sweetener in the recipe. This will add about 4 grams of total sugar to the recipe.
