xylitol (was help me!! Evil sugar addiction)

[Guest guest]

has anyone tried xylitol? My dentist and the ND I saw last week are both

enthusiastic about it. I think it's a sugar alcohol without any of the

negative effects of sugar, and in fact *protects* teeth from tooth decay. My

mercury-free dentists encourages its use against tooth decay. I tried some

at the ND's office (Thorne brand) and indeed it looks and tastes *exactly*

like sugar. The ND also told me it has a glycemic index of 8 or thereabouts.
