I didn't know Xylitol kills bacteria until I just found this...

It is obvious to me, as it might be to you, that xylitol, in addition to killing

is only recommended to be used in small doses. Yet if you go to a health food

store, you will see larger sized bags of xylitol on the shelf, promoting its

many health uses.<<<<
