AKA is a small Poznań company that has been producing sweets from the Finnish birch xylitol for many years - AKA has imported xylitol from Finland long before the xylitol became fashionable and popular. Xylitol is so-called sugar alcohol (in other words: polyol), obtained most often from birch tree, the most valued xylitol is obtained from Finnish birches. The main advantage of xylitol is slow processing in the body with minimal insulin - xylitol has a glycemic index 14 times lower than sugar, which is of great importance for diabetics, and by the way has 2 times less calories than sugar, which is important for people counting calories. Xylitol is a white, crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. In contrast to other sweeteners used in sweets for diabetics such as sorbitol, fructose or glucose, xylitol has 5 instead of 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, resulting in a basic reaction in the body, not acidic like sugar.
