I purchased a package of Xylitol containing little packets, and read
the hype on the back of the box...this article pretty much states the
same information as the box.  Is this all hype, or is this stuff
really safe for diabetics as it claims?

It took 3 packets of the stuff on my cereal before I could tolerate
the cereal (Grape Nuts) with my rice milk.

Anyone have any experience with this product?

I prefer Stevia

What is it you think you are getting from rice milk compared to regular or
2% milk?

I dislike the taste of regular milk; not lactose intolerant, just
never cared for it.  I like goat's milk, but finding that in the local
supermarket is slim to none.

Understand.
Milk is for babies anyway.
Just don't get into the soy milk nonsense unless you are a menopausal woman.

We use Xylitol as a sweetener in some of our cooking, as well as
stevia and brown rice syrup, depending on the recipe.  Xylitol is a 5-
carbon sugar alcohol that metabolizes very efficiently and requires
very little insulin to process.  It has a GI 1/10th that of sucrose,
which is a good reason for *anybody* to use it over regular sugar.
