Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the world. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she's hurting before she keens. Makes her a home.

Oh, I just made this with the C.O., a bit of agave, cocoa powder and peanut butter - I mixed it all together and froze it, then cut it into pieces... It tasted like peanut butter fudge. Soooo good!

Thanks, crunchymum!

Xylitol is a sugar-free natural sweetener. It is not an artificial sweetener. It is derived from a compound called xylan found in birch and other hardwood trees, berries, almond hulls and corn cobs. Artificial sweeteners (saccharine, aspartame, aculsefame etc are all harmful to health).
• Xylitol not only does not feed candida, it actually has anti candidal effects. So you can now make an anti candidal hot chocolate!

• Xylitol is a polyol, a substitute for sugar that occurs naturally in some fruits and vegetables.

• Xylitol™ looks, tastes and feels just like ordinary sugar with no aftertaste, and can be used just like sugar and in equal quantities in hot and cold drinks, on desserts and cereals, and in home-baking.

• Xylitol™ has a very low Glycaemic Index (GI = 8) so can be used by people on Low-GI Diets.

• Xylitol has the same sweetness as sugar but only 60% of the calories: only 2.4 kcal/g as opposed to 4.0 kcal/g in ordinary sugar.

• Xylitol is suitable for use by Diabetics: Xylitol does not need insulin to be metabolized and does not cause fluctuations in blood-sugar.

• Xylitol Promotes healthy teeth and gums: Unlike sugar, Xylitol is actually good for teeth. It fights plaque by neutralizing plaque acids and stimulates remineralization of tooth enamel. Xylitol specifically inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans, the plaque producing bacteria most responsible for causing cavities (dental caries). So Xylitol helps prevent fillings! This is why Xylitol is used extensively in chewing-gum and toothpastes.

• Xylitol also has a prebiotic effect, promoting the growth of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract.

• Xylitol inhibits yeast, therefore it cannot be used to raise yeast in baking.
i remember getting 'dental gum' from the hfs sweetened with xylitol - i think my inlaws brush their teeth with it. some people have a reaction (read: loose stools) if they eat too much. obviously like any sweetener it should be used in moderation... but i like it. the stuff i use is from NOW foods and i have it in our sugar bowl - no one ever notices the difference.

here's an article: http://www.laleva.cc/food/xylitol.html

there's a lot of nuts that have a high mold content, peanuts are one of them - and you're supposed to stay far away from any kind of mold on the anti-candida diet.

So some nuts are ok? I'm just confused because my naturopath wants me to do a candida diet (I haven't started yet), and I thought almond/cashew butter were on the list of ok things to eat. I assumed pb was ok too.

almond/cashew is fine.

kawani, i don't know that much about agave... if i were to guess i'd say it's maybe closer to honey? xylitol on the other hand i read is practically inert... it actively 'fights' the candida, as opposed to not feeding it, if that makes sense. i don't think it has the same kind of minerals etc that agave or honey has, though...

i don't know how much my mom pays for it... but it's a little pricey if you get it at the HFS. i'm seeing a 1 lb container for $6.76 at lucky vitamin. i don;t bake with it, though, so i don't use all that much. mostly in tea or coffee or in my kefir.

Thanks for the info on peanut butter!

I saw a gallon container of xylitol at a discount HFS for $19.95. I wasn't sure if that was a good deal or not.

Does anyone have a recipe for this?? Yummy and healthy all in one nice warm cup! Sounds good to me.

BTW, I actually bought a candy mold and put my almond joy candy in there. Cute and delicious!!

Yeah, I love it in smoothies and teas, but with anything else, YACK! It hides well in other "plant-y" tastes...but stick it in a dessert and

It does OK in smoothies? Hmmm...I'm about to make a smoothie that needs a little extra sweetness. After trying the stevia extract in tea, I was scared to use it in anything else. Maybe I'll try it after all....
