Try Xylotol a natural fruit Sugar from berries I believe. Because of the way it is processed in the body I think it is only a few calories per serving and it actually fights cavities as well. A lot of holistic dentists are recommending Xylotol to there patients. Try it.

Agave nectar is a perfect substitute for Sugar or honey. I am not associated in any way with this product, except as a happy user of it. Look for it in your health market by the honey, or on the web. What is so great about it? Very low glycemic index! Best wishes, Barb
