Miracle Sugar Prevents Cavities

FYI: Xylitol is derived from the sugar Xylose . Xylose is not readily available in our diets. It appears to discourage the binding of allergens and pathogens to mucous membranes. It also has known anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and may help prevent certain cancers.

Once in a while, something comes along that seems just too good to be true, but all the studies show that xylitol is not only perfectly safe and natural, it protects you from bacteria. People are trying to gain a health advantage by using different artificial sweeteners but they don’t realize most of them are health hazards.

The most popular one is probably the most dangerous. Aspartame, also known as Nutra-Sweet and Equal, has pervaded our world. It is in practically all diet foods and drinks and even along with sugar in candy and most gums. It’s hard to avoid. If you don’t want to be exposed to it, you need to read all the labels in processed and sweetened foods, even if they are not diet.

Why would you want to avoid aspartame? Besides being toxic and allergenic, according to an MSNBC report, many subjects find that it actually stimulates the appetite, and doctors believe that your body reacts the same as if it were sugar, so it’s useless as a diet aid.

The second most common artificial sweetener is sucralose, commercially sold as Splenda. Let me just tell you how they make it. They add chlorine (bleach) to sugar. That’s it. If everyone knew that, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, it is in many diets and so-called health foods like low carb snacks, and 70 percent of unsuspecting American women consume it daily.

The use of sucralose has been attributed to fatigue, confusion, nausea, joint pain, cramps, diarrhea, headaches, dizziness, and depression, but shouldn’t be a surprise considering how it’s made. The thing that concerns me is that its use increases by 10 percent each year.

Stevia is a safe herb which makes a very good sweetener; however, some people notice a little after-taste.
