Nenah, The question was about Xylitol by the POUND, not in complex formulations. They sell pure Xylitol at vrp.com for $19 for a KILO (2.2 lbs) at retail. Practitioners get it for about half of that. I did not suggest VRP for other products. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I found this on mercola.com " Xylitol is extracted from birch cellulose and is considered to be a carbohydrate alcohol. While it has the same amount of calories as sucrose, it metabolizes in a dissimilar manner and may be used safely for diabetics and hypoglycemics. Bacterial salivary organisms do not feed, grow or ferment on xylitol as they do on other simple aforementioned sugars. " Sugar-Free " chewing gum contains xylitol because it does not produce the bacterial support for increase of cavity causing acids. Studies show that prolonged use or large intake may produce the following side effects: weight gain similar to that associated with high/prolonged sucrose intake, diarrhea, tumor growth, and liver/kidney/brain dysfunction. Many manufacturers have withdrawn xylitol from their product formulation! " Personally, we occassionally use baking soda, and a HP mouthwash, but a good old toothbrush and water does us well...along with a diet that doesn't include grains or processed sugar (we only use unheated honey). > >I read somewhere in the Dr literature that xylitol, which is a >sugar but allegedly metabolized in a way that makes it modest in impacting >blood sugar, is a cure for allergies, too.....

That's good to know because when I looked for information on xylitol quite a while back, I couldn't find anything " negative " about it. As a matter of fact there were web sites singing its praises about how they've not found anything bad about it since its use in Scandinavian countries during World War II! We've been using it, though not very often. Ususally just to sweeten tea and such. Looks like I need to get back out there and find more information! Thanks!
