What Is Perfect Sweet™ ? Perfect Sweet™ is natural 100% Xylitol. It can be found in some fruits, fibrous vegetables and hardwoods. Xylitol is produced daily by the body during normal metabolism. Perfect Sweet™ natural sweetener looks and tastes just like sugar and can be used where ever sugar is normally used in tea, coffee, baking and cooking. Xylitol is an all-natural sugar alternative that tastes and looks like sugar but that is where the similarities end. Xylitol is one of a group of sugar substitutes known as polyols. Others in the same group include sorbitol and maltitol, which have 6 carbon structures (and can be metabolised by harmful bacteria). However, xylitol has a unique 5 carbon structure which is metabolised only by friendly bacteria. Xylitol is a sweetener that occurs naturally. It can be found in berries and other fruits, some vegetables and in the woody fibres of birch tree bark and corn cobs.
