UGLI FRUIT -
a native Jamaican fruit believed to be a tangerine-grapefruit hybrid ranging in size between that of a navel orange and a giant grapefruit. Its acid-sweet flavor suggests grapefruit with hints of orange. The extremely thick, yellow-green skin fits rather loosely over the large, juicy, yellow-orange pulp sections.

Ruth Winter.1978. A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives. Crown Publishers, Inc., New York.
Made from birchwood, it is used in chewing gum as an artificial sweetener. It has been reported to sharply reduce cavities in teeth but costs more than sugar; it also has calories. Because xylitol has a diuretic effect in large amounts, its use in soft drinks is not likely. In addition to its use in chewing gum, manufacturers are proposing to use it in chewable vitamins and in some jellies. FDA preliminary reports cite it as a cancer-causing agent.
