> Hi Bee, Please forgive me, but I still don't get this. I've only

heard the term " hydrogenated " with respect to oils, and xylitol is not

an oil. I do understand that xylitol is derived from corn or birch

trees, but I do not understand how that makes it harmful. Can you

please go into more detail about how it can be harmful? I give

xylitol gum to my DD because she has severe decay, and it has halted

the decay from going any further. I refuse to put flouride in her

mouth, so I had felt good about this stuff.

==>Hydrogenation is a manufacturing process which can be applied to

any foods, which uses chemicals and gas, particularly hydrogen. All

corn in North America is genetically modified and it is one of the

worst sources of sugar, found in soft drinks and many other foods.
