Xylitol

[Guest guest]

Dacey,

It sounds to me like you don't really need to cut out any of those,

depending on what is in your dandilion coffee. None of these are avoids

in themselves.

I'm sure not, based on the below. First because it is derived from

corn, fruits, fibers, etc... which have those mycotoxins that Bee

speaks of, from the way these grains are stored. Second, because it

is a SUGAR ALCOHOL. Alcohol itself is a mycotoxin. While Xylitol

might be a good sugar substitute for diabetics soley on it's chemical

makeup, I'm certain it would be horrible for those attempting to

fight candida. My uneducated 2 cents worth.

From Wikipedia: Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol that is used

as a sugar substitute. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener

found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including various

berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms.[2] It can be extracted from

corn fibre,[3] birch, raspberries, plums, and corn. Xylitol is

roughly as sweet as sucrose but with two-thirds the food energy. In

the late 20th century, xylitol in granular form began to be mass

produced in the United States under the brand name " Ultimate

Sweetener " using beet plants in California. Today, using maize

sources, most world supplies reportedly come from China.[citation

I think xylitol is fine as a sweetener. It curbs pathogen growth too

Speaking of sweeteners, has anyone heard of or used trehalose? I came

across it while researching alternative treatmetns for parkinson's dx and

huntington's disease. Interesting stuff. I thought it was an herb or a

supplement, but it's more like a natural sweetener (40% of the sweetness of

sugar). Apparently it is absorbed into cells and prevent clumping and/or

breakdown of protiens, and it is helpful in preventing neurological damage

in patients with the dx I mentioned above.

How much Xylitol are you using? I did a google search and found it's suppose to

have anti-candida properties and doesn't feed the yeast, but found one website

where a woman and her husband tried 1/4 cup a day and found their food cravings

to change adversely, so you probably should read up on it more before deciding

if it's worth the risk especially since you're so careful with your diet.

Stevia doesn't feed yeast. Have you tried that? It's suppose to be a lot more

potent than sugar so a little goes a long way.

i know i have asked this questions before, but have not been reading my

emails lately...lots of trauma going on...stolen care, etc...

Jacque,

I'm very sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time right now. Too many

of us hear can sadly relate. I think I may recall Duncan writing that it was

okay to use like stevia, which I like better. Duncan am I correct? Maybe go to

the group page and do a search on xylitol.

Be well,

I love xylitol

It is good because it breaks down slowly and is not a sugar that will cause

candida growth.

Hi Lyle,

Xylitol, Sorbitol, Malititol, Mannitol and Erythritol are called sugar

alcohols, or polyols, which are actually neither sugar nor alcohol and

are classified as a carbohydrate.

Xylitol is manufactured by extracting xylan from birch wood, corn cobs

or blueberry skins, and reacting it with water to produce xylose

or " wood sugar. " Hydrogen (H2) is then added to make Xylitol. There are

some studies which indicate it may be carcinogenic.

Why bother with an artificial sweetener anyway, when stevia is allowed

and it is simply the leaf from the plant?

Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

The only reason I was bothering about this product aside from my own

suspicions was the cost. I saw it in the store and my wallet got

happier.(we go thru the stevia)

I'm still a little curious if it actually feeds yeast or not and what

the ph might be.

Personally I have tried all of the sugar alcohols I have heard of including

xylitol and they have all raised my bloods sugars, produced cravings and caused

gastric distress. The only sweetener I have no problems with is Stevia, and I

only have to use that in moderation because I get too used to the sweet taste of

it and interferes with my taste buds. When I am away from sweet stuff for long

enough broccoli actually tastes sweet to me.

Even if it doesn't feed yeast it definitely isn't healthy to have. pH

is a not an issue when it comes to foods anyway. Balancing pH is a fad

and totaly impractical and unworkable. Do a search on my website for

articles about this, i.e acidity/alkalinity balancing.

[Guest guest]

Xylitol is cheaper per weight, but it takes muuch less stevia to

achieve a similar level of sweetness, so in the usage I don't know

that the prices are incredibly different. I too am curious about how

xylitol works, I have been using it a lot lately because of what I

have read online about it curbing candida growth. I didn't really

think about the blood sugar issue because that has never been a big

problem for me, but it makes sense that you would not want to be

spiking your blood sugar, especially when trying to lo-carb. It does

cause intestinal distress for some, and has given me more gas, but

nothing too extreme. The way it tastes, I have a hard time believing

it is anti-fungal, so it would be nice to get some more input on this.

Each person is different with xylitol apparently. That stuff is poison for me.

What liver cleanse procedure to you follow?

+++, I don't recommend Xylitol because it is manufactured by

extracting xylan from birch wood or corn cobs, and reacting it with

water to produce xylose or " wood sugar. " Hydrogen (H2) is then added to

make 'Xylitol.' So it is a processed manufactured sweetener, very

unlike stevia (which is okay), that the ground up leaf of the stevia

plant.

I don't think it matters whether it is antifungal or not, since

unrefined coconut oil, butter, lard, and many other unprocessed whole

foods are antifungal, including many natural spices and herbs.

This is very interesting, as I've found nearly all 'healthy/organic'

toothpastes sold have xylitol in their ingredients (even if they don't

taste sweet.). Thanks, Michele

our family physician who practices integrated medicine raves about it. He says it's better than stevia.
