Introducing Xylitol, a very sweet, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS sugar substitute!
Used Just Like Sugar
Xylitol tastes just like regular sugar!Š and here's the best part: it has NO aftertaste!
It can be used in cooking the same as sugar, in equal quantities, and can even be frozen or heated. It dissolves even better than sugar!
Low in Calories/Great for Weight loss!
40% fewer calories than sugar! Only 10 calories per teaspoon.
Good for LOW CARB DIETS, Hypoglycemics & Diabetics!
Xylitol is more than a mere substitute; in fact, it is a therapeutic sweetener. Xylitol has a very low glycemic index with a minimal impact on blood sugar. In fact, it is a 7, on the very bottom of the glycemic scale from 1-110, barely effecting insulin levels at all (similar to green vegetables.) It provides a very slow, steady release of energy.
Xylitol fights ear and sinus infections!
When used in the nasal spray and the gum and mint form, xylitol specifically inhibits the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria in the throat and sinuses, reducing ear and sinus infections in clinical trials by 40%!
And xylitol is safe for children.
Xylitol Fights cavities!
Unlike sugar, xylitol is actually GOOD FOR THE TEETH!
What is xylitol's tooth friendly effect based on?
When you take xylitol, the acid attack that would otherwise last for over half an hour, is stopped. Because the bacteria in the mouth causing caries are unable to ferment xylitol in their metabolism, their growth is reduced. The number of acid-producing lactobacilli and streptococci may fall as much as 90%. No acid is formed because the pH of saliva and plaque does not fall. After taking xylitol, the bacteria do not absorb well on the surface of the teeth and the amount of plaque decreases.
In addition to these health benefits, xylitol actually increases the absorption of B-vitamins and calcium.
How much xylitol gum should you chew daily?
In practice, this means 3-8 pieces of chewing gum a day. The pieces should be chewed immediately after a meal or a snack. If you eat more snacks, you of course need more frequent help from xylitol.
How does xylitol take care of a mouth dryness problem?
In terms of dental health, it is good to increase the salivary flow rate as often as possible, i.e. to secrete what is called stimulated saliva. The faster the saliva flow, the greater its buffer capacity, that is, its power of resisting the drops in saliva pH and thus in plaque pH.
In stimulating saliva secretion xylitol increases the amount of saliva in the mouth. At the same time it increases saliva's initiate chemical capacity for reducing the harmful effects of bacteria.
Sucrose also stimulates saliva secretion, but even this increased salivary flow rate cannot compensate for the effect of the acids simultaneously produced by the cariogenic bacteria. So plaque pH falls and cavities start forming.
Chewing also helps promote saliva secretion. That's why chewing gum is an almost perfect way of taking xylitol from the dentist's point of view.
Safe
Is xylitol safe? Yes it is. JECFA, a joint expert committee of WHO and FAO, confirmed in 1983 the fact, already known by scientists, that xylitol is a safe sweetener for foods. Also FDA confirmed this fact in 1986.
Over 25 years of testing in widely different conditions confirm that xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth. Xylitol use reduces tooth decay rates both in high-risk groups (high caries prevalence, poor nutrition, and poor oral hygiene) and in low risk groups (low caries incidence using all current prevention recommendations). Sugarfree chewing gums and candies made with xylitol as the principal sweetener have already received official endorsements from six national dental associations.
Xylitol, (pronounced: zi-li-tol) is an all-natural Xylitol is a sweetener that occurs naturally. It can be found, for instance, in berries, fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. The Finnish name for it, koivusokeri, or birch sugar, derives from the fact that one of the ways to make xylitol industrially is from birch, by chopping up and rendering down the structural fibre of the wood, xylan.
Xylitol occurs in small amounts in a natural form in many foods, especially in fruit, berries, vegetables and mushrooms. For example raspberry, strawberry, yellow plum and endive contain xylitol. Xylitol also occurs in human tissues during metabolism.
Xylitol was discovered almost simultaneously by German and French chemists way back in the late 19th century. Diabetics have used it in the Soviet Union for many years, and in Germany in solutions for intravenous feeding. In China, xylitol has been used for various medical purposes.
