Oh wow, thanks for sharing that! The current brand of Peanut Butter I use thankfully doesn't contain xylitol but I appreciate the information - I often bake dog cookies and part of the recipe does include peanut butter.
Like DancingLady above me I don't really understand why they would need to sweeten PB - I think it's unnecessary! So many artificial things are just added into foods these days, it really does make me consider what is in a lot of foods...I think I'll need to check the ingredient list of a lot of things more closely!
I agree, there's no need to sweeten it, and if someone wants sweeter peanut butter, there are varieties with honey, which is what I recently discovered, and it's heavenly.
It's also important to note that several dogs have died from ingesting (accidentally) sugar-free gum containing Xylitol. We all know some dogs are mischievous and will get into all sort of things, such as purses, which often contain gum, so it's best if you do use sugarless gum containing Xylitol, to keep it secured in a closet or other location, where dogs will not be able to get a hold of it.
@Trellum Supposedly it's safe for humans, but not dogs. Dogs are sweet enough, and don't need any added sweeteners
