15. Bubblegum for Diabetes
Possessing approximately 33% fewer calories, xylitol is a
lower-calorie alternative to table sugar.
Absorbed more slowly than sugar, it does not contribute
to high blood sugar levels or the resulting hyperglycemia
caused by insufficient insulin response.
Xylitol is used as a sweetener in medicines, chewing gum,
and pastilles.
