But that's exactly what a 29-year-old in Mexico has invented. Javier Larragoiti's recently been awarded three hundred and ten thousand US dollars by Chivas Venture - which gives 1 million dollars to social entrepeneurs each year. It's to help him and his company Xsugar alernative called xylitol, which is traditionally made from birch trees - and comes at a cost. But Javier told Indira he's found a way to make xylitol out of corn.
