Great sweetener, maybe my only complaint is ... slight minty taste, but be damn careful with it if you or anybody you know has a dog. Even very small quantities

  Yikes, didn't know this. Thanks. Cats?

    Also lethal to them. The big issue for dogs is that xylitol is used in several brands of peanut butter (or it was) and that's a common treat or medicine aid for dog owners

      Is it lethal to cats though? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29430681/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29430681/ I mean, better to be safe than sorry, but it doesn't seem to affect them in this study. Other non-scientific sources are all over the map on the question.

  1000x this. The most worried I've even been for my dog was when she got into a pack of gum sweetened with xylitol. She's fine, thankfully. Fun fact: the ASPCA poison control line has a database of products containing xylitol (and presumably tons of other stuff) and the concentration in each. Strongly recommend a call if your dog or cat gets into something dangerous (while you're driving to the vet).
