Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 The writup is pretty good, but I had a few thoughts ... a lot of what they talk about, such as xylitol not promoting tooth decay and not stimulating insulin* are the same things that everyone got so excited about when they first started selling fructose. That was the big deal in the 70's ... we were all buying fructose like mad. Then it turns out that large quantities of fructose are even worse than sucrose! Anyway, like I say, " change is good, you go first! " Until ANYTHING has a long track record, you don't know what it does or doesn't do, esp. in larger quantities or over a long period of time. Xylitol may well be wonderful, or not, I don't know, it'll be interesting to see what develops. -- Heidi Jean *(I agree with that ANYTHING that tastes sweet might promote insulin, as it can be triggered by taste, but sucrose NEEDS insulin more than fructose). http://www.laleva.cc/food/xylitol.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
