    Love xylitol but not your misleading marketing

    There are some false facts about xylitol production in your Questions/Answers and articles that I feel need to be pointed out.
    Firstly, there is no such thing as "cutting down 40-year-old birch trees" for xylitol. Xylose for wood-based xylitol generally comes from wood industry by-products, there's no dedicated tree harvesting just for xylitol. And when the forests and pulp mills are sustainably managed, which is the case for the xylitol factories in Europe I am familiar with, the side-stream usage is actually rather eco-friendly and can in fact be sited as up-cycling. As a whole the process can often be more ecological than corn-based xylitol production.

    Not to downplay corn either, it is a great source of xylitol and it's so good to have xylitol more accessible around the world. But to stay realistic and objective, hence your claims about it being ecologically superior to "birch xylitol", corn production does have its own issues such as intensive agriculture, mono-cultures and pesticide use, even when it's certified non-GMO. Whether its ecological or not, largely comes down to the specific articultural practices used, not the fact it's corn instead of wood.

    Also the claim you have in your article ("Sustainability: Birch vs. Corn Xylitol") about the matter that corn xylitol is superior because it's pharmaceutical grade while birch xylitol is just food-grade, is just a marketing ploy of some specific products you would have compared. There's plenty of "birch xylitol" (in actual fact wood pulp xylitol) used in the pharmaceutical industry, and as the word suggest, it is pharmaceutical grade.

    Lastly I will point out that the word "birch xylitol" (or "birch sugar") refers to the product of the very first factory that produced commercial xylitol, in 1974 in Finland, where birch was used as it was readily available and high in xylose. In our modern days xylitol from birch is just a novelty product for small target audiences and not what is actually commercially relevant to even discuss. What is mostly used these days is mixed hardwood pulp, but the term birch xylitol may live on in such products' marketing as well thanks to historical terminology.

    If your product is good, there is no need to defend it with semi-facts or even false information. There should be enough benefits to talk about without needless negative comparisons. The way you have decided to approach this is not leaving a nice, xylitol-like taste in my mouth at all. I'm sure your product is good, and thus deserves better marketing relying on facts and positivity.

    FAQs

    What is Stevia?

    The stevia plant originates from South America where the leaves of the plant  have been used for hundreds of years to sweeten food. Interestingly it was also used medicinally to treat burns and stomach problems.

    Today only the sweetest part of the plant is used creating a natural sweetener that is many times sweeter than sugar.

    Its a great modern day crop, only using about one fifth of the land required to grow sugar and much less water.

    It has been shown to be useful in lowering blood pressure and other studies have shown that it could be useful in treating type 2 diabetes.

    Stevia has zero calories. And little to no effect on blood glucose, insulin levels.

    What is Xylitol?

    Xylitol is naturally occurring in small amounts in many fruits and vegetables, we even produce small amounts in our bodies during normal metabolism. It is not an artificial sweetener.

    It is usually produced from handpicked corn cobs or from the bark of Birch trees, corn cobs generally being the more sustainable environmentally friendly option.

    Xylitol is about the same sweetness as sugar but with 40% less calories. It has a fresh sweetness with no after taste. It has a very low Glycemic index of between 7 -11 compared with sugar at 65 and doesn’t spike blood sugar levels. Therefore it's a great choice for diabetics.

    Xylitol is an excellent alternative to sugar particularly for those interested in weight loss, diabetes, tooth care and general health.

    Quite the opposite of sugar, Xylitol reduces our risk of tooth decay. Instead of feeding the bad bacteria in our mouths it starves them by reducing our mouths acidity. Xylitol helps prevent dental cavities, plaque build-up and gum disease. Many tooth pastes are now available containing Xylitol. 

    Excessive consumption of Xylitol can have a laxative effect for some people, so make sure to take it in small amounts first. One study we found suggests that for a typical 60kg female up to 142 grams of Xylitol is fine with no side effects of the laxative kind (reference).

    Xylitol can be harmful to dogs so please don’t feed it to your four legged friends. Here is an FAQ on this subject from a New Zealand vet.
