Xylitol

[Shawntell]

Peace,

The other day I came across a product that may benefit all.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener, that promotes remineralization of the teeth.  For those suffering from cavities, tooth decay...using xylitol may be helpful.

Xylitol is a sweetener that is derived from birch bark.  It is a white granule substance.  It can be found in natural toothpaste, mints, or you can just use the granules.

Xylitol side effects: rare and minor Xylitol is considered a healthy alternative to sugar and lacks major side effects. In fact, most users experience virtually no side effects when using the recommended dosage (usually 6-8 grams) for dental benefits.
Some people who use xylitol in large quantities (usually more than 40 grams/day) may initially experience diarrhea. Many of these people report that the diarrhea subsides even with continued excessive use as their digestive systems adjusts to the xylitol.
Because it is a low glycemic sweetener, xylitol has only small effects on blood sugar and insulin release. Many diabetics consider it a safe alternative to sugar and many dieters use it in low carb diets.

Peace

Yes, I bought some last week to use instead of organic sugar. I didn't know about the benefits to teeth though. Thanks for the info.
