Xylitol, natural sugar substitute. Xylitol /ˈzaɪlɪtɒl/ is a sugar alcohol used as a
sweetener. The name derives from Greek: ξύλον, xyl[on], "wood" + suffix -itol,
used to denote sugar alcohols.
I was visiting this Commonsense Organics store in Johnsonville in Wellington. I was wowed by the display and the layout of the store. Xylitol caught my eye as I needed a new X word.
I asked the friendly shop assistant and she was most helpful and friendly. She told me it was like stevia which you may remember I planted that sugar substitute plant.

Thanks for this X word, Ann! What does Xylitol mean?
Have a great week!

I've never heard of this. I think my dentist would approve as he frowns at sugar! Looks a nicely stocked shop.
an actual X word!
ROG, ABCW
You've reminded me that I have a bag of xylitol somewhere in the cupboard. A naturopath gave it to me as a substitute for sugar. I haven't tried it yet. Don't know why.
