The Benefits Of Xylitol as a natural sweetener:
- Plaque, commonly caused by bacteria Streptococcus Mutans, feeds on glucose from food - but they cannot use xylitol. Eventually, the sugar metabolism in the bacteria is blocked and they literally starve to death.
- The mouth, nose and ears are all interconnected. In much the same way as it kills plaque; Xylitol can reduce ear infections in children by fighting the yeast Candida Albicans that commonly causes ear infections.
- Studies have shown that it increases the absorption of calcium in the digestive system, which is good for your teeth and may also protect against osteoporosis.
- Either by replacing sugar or adding it on top of the diet, can reduce cavities and tooth decay by as much as 30-85%
- It also appears to have prebiotic effects, feeding the friendly bacteria in the gut.
Directions
- Use as a sugar substitute, either complimenting your diet or completely replacing other sugars.
Ingredients
- Xylitol (made from non-gmo corn)
Warnings
- Xylitol can be highly toxic to dogs, leading to hypoglycaemia and/or liver failure. It only takes about 0.1 g/kg for a dog to be affected (less than the amount in a single stick of gum)
- Xylitol is generally well tolerated in humans, but some people do get digestive side effects when they consume too much, not unlike conventional Sugar.
- If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or an intolerance to FODMAPs, then be extra careful with Sugar Alcohol and consider avoiding them altogether.
