Not Just Another Sugar Substitute
Do you suffer from any type of allergy problem? Are you diabetic? Looking for food with a low glycemic index? Were you the baby in your family and had your parents slack off on teaching you proper dental hygiene and now suffer from gum disease? Are you finding it hard to keep your diet because of your problem with snacking and can not stand those yucky health snacks? Or perhaps you are addicted to chewing gum, which is taking its toll on your teeth. It sure would be nice if there was some kind of substance that somehow relieved or prevented all of these problems. Well, actually, there is! Announcing the all natural sugar substitute called Xylitol. Xylitol is a nutritional supplement that looks and taste just like sugar. It is naturally occurring and only differs in its chemical structure. Most sugar alcohols contain 6 carbon atoms, but xylitol has 5 carbon atoms. It is found in many vegetables and fruits and even is produced in the human body in small amounts. You may recognize its name on many popular chewing gum wrappers as a substitute for sugar. Any diabetic trying to maintain their health, but still trying to enjoy that ever so lovely taste of sugar would certainly be interested in finding sweets that contain xylitol. It is also used in many foods to lower the glycemic index thus making it healthier for everyone. Xylitol is being used in many chewing gum brands because it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between it and regular sugar, and because it is healthy for your teeth. The bacteria that cause gum disease consume it, thinking it is sugar and cannot metabolize it because of its difference in structure as compared to regular sugar and therefore die. With the combination of good dental hygiene, and when that is not possible chewing a piece of gum containing xylitol we can pretty much say goodbye to those dreaded dental caries, and the ugly face of tooth decay. I am ready to use anything safe that will help me relieve the pain of getting a cavity. If you absolutely cannot brush your teeth after every meal, try chewing a piece of xylitol gum in order to have better cavity prevention. You might ask how xylitol will help with an allergy problem. Well, let me tell you. Xylitol is now being used in a safe nasal spray. It essentially washes clean your nasal passages. When the nasal wash is used, just as with chewing gum, the bacteria that cause the allergy problem that thrive in the nostril consume xylitol, but the bacteria cannot metabolize it and therefore die and are washed clean. It is essentially what washing your hands with bacterial soap will do for your hands. This also helps heal and prevent an ear infection, sinus infection, and a sinus problem among other things. Therefore, if you are looking for allergy relief, a nasal spray containing xylitol may be just what you need. What a great natural sweetener! And to think that it is a natural sweetener and safe to use, unlike many other artificial sweeteners that have been proven to cause unwanted and sometimes very dangerous side effects.
