Is Xylitol a Safe Sweetener #424

http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com - We've received a few questions about xylitol recently...

Today, I address whether xylitol is a safe sweetener or not.

It's not something we use regularly, in fact I think I've only had it once at the Tree of Life.

Xylitol is extremely beneficial to your oral health.

It reduces the quantity of plaque, creating additional caries(decay) protection between periods of brushing and flossing. It also inhibits the growth of streptococcus mutans, the main bacteria associated with dental caries (decay).

Not anecdotl. There are peer reviewed studies. Look them up. One was done in china across two towns (one with fluoride in the water, one without) and the difference between IQ scores was very clear.

Secondly, I think it is YOU who needs to learn how to read. My comment was not about EATING fluoride. What do you think happens when you put fluoride toothpaste in your mouth, genius?

It's clealy affected your ability to think (now, THAT is "anecdotal" evidence!) ;)

well, fructose is a white powder...and stevia is an herb, so you're structural breakdown is wrong. anyway, xylitol helps with ear and sinus infections, so I'm going to continue to use it.

Word has that some junkies plan to do a doggie genocide with this material.

Be warned..............

I have been researching this topic lately but there is very little information for the negative side effects. Nevertheless, after all my research, I must agree with you that green stevia powder is the most natural unadultered sweetner for those with diabetes or candida (on Body Ecology). It does not give the best flavor for baking but it is the closest food to nature. Thank you for your video.

You don't like it because it's white powder? Well i guess i can't call you a coke head. O.o

@SilentAche I was ok with 1 or 2 packets in my coffee, even up to 4, but have a 3rd coffee (6 packs) and I was not doing too well. Also Xylitol doesn't really taste that sweet.

[shawandrew]

@SilentAche me too, at least when I have too much. I found information online that says this is becuase it is absorbed at 20% the rate of sugar and sticks to the intestinal walls, that and I think it is antagonistic to intestinal flora. I found Stevia to be okay but had a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I think I might consider trying Sucralose instead, as I find it to be sweet enough and not bitter.

wow. i am never watching your channel again. Xylitol is questionable? are you kidding me? I've been chewing gum that's made of this stuff (in developed asian countries) for years with absolutely no problem. i use it on my food... no problem. xylitol comes from a plant. same as stevia or all the hippy stuff you like. can't believe you bashed it. wow.
