Guest guest Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 NOW Foods' xylitol is corn-derived, but it's non-GMO. I react moderately to things like cornbread and corn tortilla chips, but no reaction to the corn-based xylitol. Shauna I called the 2 co's I buy xylitol products from, they apparently use corn derived xylitol; they skirted around the ? and said sometimes we use birch and sometimes we use corn, I asked them to be more specific which products contained the birch (they couldn't comment on that), it worries me because I'm sure it's gmo corn, I don't want gmo products (which is probably hard to avoid these days), and I don't want to consume products from corn period. I can't vouch for this site below, but they explain a lot about birch vs. corn derived xylitol. http://www.truth-about-birch-xylitol.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
