[...] Zero, Sally means Zero refined sugar. Rapadura, honey, maple syrup and palm sugar are natural and healthy alternatives but still should be eaten [...]

what reason I don’t know.

Brit, Organic Times import Rapadura Chocolate.
http://organictimes.com.au/
Their chocolate is delicious and I’ve word from Lawrence and Kerchung that they do not use high temperature dried milk in the milk chocolate range. That means it is only wholesome and not damaging at all.

Well Donald I have to disagree
Corn can be pretty evil for some us…
the number of people with intolence to corn is growing due to the widespread use …
and I know for sure that my body reacts differently to corn xylitol - than to birch xylitol…..

Xylitol is actually made from D-xylose which is made from xylan syrups that are extracted from a number of plant sources (including birch and corn). The end xylitol product has the same molecular structure no matter what plant the xylan syrups came from. So the debate of corn vs. birch xylitol is based on a false premise. When you look at xylitol your concern should be purity. I recommend only buying pharmaceutical grade xylitol. And I know of a number of people who use xylitol as a sweetener because they have candida.

Be careful with xylitol- most of the stuff is made from corn ! and I donÂ´t think that is a wise substitute just look at the high fructose problems…

The stuff that showed good effect on teeth and ear infections was derived from birch tree sap…
just like maple sap.
The birch sap boiled into sirup was a traditional sweetner in Finland.
