As the name suggests, THE ULTIMATE SWEETENERŽ is the finest natural sweetening agent available anywhere at any price. It is perfect for baking, dissolves quickly, looks and tastes like sugar but has no aftertaste or side effects.
Derived from birch bark, THE ULTIMATE SWEETENERŽ is 100% pure birch sugar (also known as Xylitol). No birch trees are ever cut down for the extraction of the Xylis (the chemical name for the sweetener in the birch bark).

First, it has only HALF the calories of sugar! Second, it is the ONLY natural sweetener that does NOT promote tooth decay and gum disease which is why it is used in premium toothpaste and mouthwash. Third, in spite of the fact that it is a pure carbohydrate, it is metabolized very slowly. This helps prevent sugar highs and lows experienced by people who have diabetes, hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, candida (yeast infection) or any condition caused by sugar imbalance.

Almost all white and brown sugar produced and sold in this country incorporates a step in its processing which would probably shock most people: since raw cane sugar is brown and sticky, almost all sugar refineries use slaughterhouse animal BONE ASH as a filtering agent to remove the molasses, thus creating free-flowing white sugar. As for brown sugar, it is not much better because it is white sugar with the molasses added back into it! Only raw and turbinado sugars do not involve this hideous process, but they still cause sugar highs and lows.
We are often asked how does THE ULTIMATE SWEETENERŽ differ from Stevia. The primary distinctions of Stevia Extract are the following:
It is 50-100X sweeter than sugar, yet it is virtually calorie-free.
It has a slight licorice aftertaste.
It does NOT help baked goods rise.
It is ideal for Candida.

Experience and compare it for yourself. Though not inexpensive, you will find that it is indispensable to help prevent the undesirable effects caused by other sweeteners.
