It tastes the best, it never gets implicated in these studies, and is used in many keto/no sugar products today.

I love it, and insulin and allulose. Not sure why people are obsessed with the nasty shit like stevia, monk fruit, or blue agave...

Agreed. Xylitol is yummy, good for your teeth, inexpensive, time tested, and doesn't have a weird aftertaste.

The only downsides are that it doesn't work quite the same as sugar in cooking, some are sensitive to it, and if you overdo it there can allegedly be some runny side-effects.
