I don't know the answer to that one. We have 3 dogs and have heard
from several dog sources that it is toxic to dogs. We do not keep
xylitol for that reason and use stevia or Agave syrup for seeetening.

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.
