These candy cane flavored mints are sweetened with 100% xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that is crystalline in form and looks and tastes like sugar. Xylitol is all-natural, not artificial, and is a normal substance used in everyday metabolism. Found mostly in fruits and vegetables, xylitol has been given the FDA's safest rating as a food additive. Xylitol serves as a popular sugar substitute for diabetics and people with hypoglycemia. It has a low glycemic index (7) and has little effect on blood sugar levels.
