Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Anyone really KNOW the skinny on Xylitol? I've just spent a little time on Onibasu looking up xylitol. It's looks long and I woke up with a migraine and don't want to spend hours trying to figure this out. I skimmed through the Nexus article: http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/xylitol.html and it looks pretty promising. Before I endorse this with my 73 year old (74 in Aug) Mom, I really just need the bottom line on this. She has tried Stevia to no avail. She has been fighting candida for many years - she has Sarcoidosis and was on high dose Prednisone about 10 years ago. I mentioned Xylitol to her about a week ago and she was ready to buy some then. I tend to be on the more cautious side, given that I was drawn in to Nutrasweet and consumed tons of it for about 12 or more years - as did my folks. I just don't want Xylitol to be the next nutrasweet - the deceptive wonder sweetener that is later found to be hazardous to our health. So, is it really as good for you as they say? Or is it all marketing hype? I've read that you should only consume it if it's made from birch. But what is the process from birch to consumption? If is sounds too good to be true... Thanks for your input, Skeptically, but hopefully yours, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
