2. Xylitol

Although it doesn’t sound healthy at all, we can assure you it is actually healthier than regular sugar. Xylitol is basically a type of sugar alcohol extracted from birch wood or corn. It can be found in a wide range of vegetables and fruits, too.

Xylitol packs around 2.4 calories per gram, meaning that it has 40% fewer calories than refined sugar. Yet, what really makes this type of sugar a pretty good alternative to sugar is actually its lack of fructose. And since fructose is basically one of the most dangerous ingredients found in sugar, xylitol deserves its healthy credit.

Plus, xylitol consumption doesn’t raise your insulin levels or blood sugar, making it a good option for people with diabetes.
