xylitol is now being used by more dentists as it has been discovered that it kill "bad" bacteria in the mouth. works best that way when liquified. as for baking, use it just like you would use any regular sugar, measure for measure. it reacts just like regular sugar and is about 85% as sweet. Zero calories. I love it better than any other sweetner and doesn't leave any aftertaste as does many others. enjoy., Liv
