Xylitol isn't 'artificial'[1] (but it is bad for dogs). In small amounts I would be surprised if it would affect anyone negatively, I often have 5-10g in my oats, but all the sugar alcohols make your guts unhappy in large doses (I find erythritol is the worst, but sorbitol from pears is famous for doing that to babies).

- Luc 4y agoPerhaps 'less digestible sweetener' would be a better way of putting it. It's a shame you don't believe it would affect people with chronic digestive issues.
- blacksmith_tb 4y agoI'm sure plenty of my beliefs are shameful, this one seems pretty mild by comparison... but clearly anyone who's worried about eating them should start small, and discontinue if they react badly?
