why would it only be toxic for a dog and not humans?

  Have you tried stevia? This is natural and the FDA refuses to approve it as a 
sweetener. For me that is a good recommendation.

  If you have a dog, xylitol is toxic, so be careful.

      Has anyone tried erythritol as a calorie free sweetener? Looks 
interesting, expecially since it is not artificial, but a naturally occurring  
sweetner.

    Marshall,
    I don't think there's any "free ride" with sweeteners. Dr. Jerry Tennant 
says to avoid all sweeteners with "tol" in them, and I tend to agree with him. 
They are toxic to the body.

    I do use xylitol, however, as a mouthwash.
