Re: safety sucralose and xylitol

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

With all the concern about osteo (me included !!) why not consider useing

xylitol as a sweetener? It has been shown to improve bone density as well as

inhibiting injurious bacteria in the stomach such as strep and h.pylori

(which we know causes ulcers and later, cancer). Xylitol was discovered by

the Finnish and comes from their birch trees, thus, completely natural. They

give it to kids at school in gum and it not only reduces cavities but also

prevents lots of illness in the winter.

I got a supply at www.beyondacentury.com as it (surprisingly) isn't readily

available here in Europe. I find it tastes just like sugar, which I dropped

years ago. In fact I've completely lost my desire for sweet tastes, so to

get the xylitol for bones and as antibacterial, I'm having to retrain

myself.

perverse, eh? ;-}

MM
