I bought a can of zylitol (type of sweetener made from birch bark) yesterday
after reading on the package that it was a good sweetener for diabetics.  I
have friends and family with diabetes.  I thought I would try making
Christmas cookies with it.  Anyway, what info I can now find on the internet
implies that it is similar to sorbitol.  Sorbitol makes me sick - not a
gluten reaction, just a sick feeling.  Does anyone know something more about
zylitol and if I should try eating it?
