• 9 *a note on xylitol: xylitol is a great option for people who want to cut calories (it has 40% less calories than sugar). it is not an artificial sweetener; it is what gives berries their sweet taste. it doesn't cause a "sugar rush." it also helps fight calories. xylitol may be used as a 1:1 substitute for sugar. however, xylitol is extremely toxic for your pets, so please do not share xylitol treats with your furry friends.
