"Chewing this sugar substitute is not toxic for humans because it does 
not get absorbed from the intestines and therefore does not affect us. 
But it is absorbed from the intestine and goes into the blood stream of 
our pets. And that is where the toxicity comes in. The affect of Xylitol 
is to cause the secretion of insulin, which dangerously lowers blood 
sugar . In addition, it can cause liver failure depending on the 
quantity ingested. The amount that needs to be consumed to be toxic 
depends on the substance eaten and the weight of the pet. There is still 
no hard fast data concerning lethal dose of this substance"

    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.
