The birch source is for product manufactured in places like Finland, where birch is abundant and like most fast growing trees, eminently renewable. Xylitol is used in some products--targeted for diabetics as it has no glycemic index, but it is more expensive than sugar or (worse) the high-fructose corn syrup that is used as a sweetener in most products.

Home-baked goodies are always better anyway. ;-))

Due, that's interesting, but I'd like to see it in the finished products I buy, like Pepsi, cakes, etc. If it's essentially a 1:1 sugar replacement, why hasn't it taken off in mainstream products? Put differently, why don't we dump sugar? This stuff more expensive (the corn variety, that is; seems like he birches should be left alone)?
