    You’d have to experiment to add small amounts repetitively until you’ve reached desired level of sweetness. Keep in mind xylitol is toxic to dogs and if you ingest enough, to people too.

    Personally, i don’t use artificial sweetners anymore, they aint good for you or the environment.I read a scientific survey a month or so back, they looked at the affect of sweetners in the environment, the molecules don’t break down in the body and you pee them out, they go through the water treatment works in the rivers and into the sea, the team have found these molcules in single cell organisms in the sea like diatoms and lower life, they latch on to the molecules mistaking them for sugars looking for energy and end up starving to death, not great when you consider all life in the ocean rely on these single cell organisms.The team that looked this said they needed more studying, who knows if this is true but it sounds feasable.And to add i don t react well to sucralose i have had reactions that the docs thought was gout, and i was treated for months for it, it gave me swollen ancles sore feet, alsorts of crap, bursitis in my knees i read about sweetners and thier affects and i stopped using them within a week i had no foot problems, told the doc about it and he was speachless, any enough of that, i use good old sugar syrup now to sweaten stuff up.
