Life is not meant to be a constant battle with sickness, sadness, and depression. To truly live, we must seek out health and happiness as our primary focus. It’s not an easy path, but it is a worthwhile one. Allow me to show you that a life of joy and vitality is within your reach.

Xylitol as a sugar substitute. Xylitol, Health Tips, Weight Loss and Diet Tips

On average a half of cup of sugar is consumed per person every day and 150 pounds annually. Never in history has one person consumed so much sugar!

No wonder why we are so fat and have tons of health problems.

Consuming large quantities of sugar leads to diabetes and obesity in both kids and adults, hypoglycaemia, weight gain, high blood pressure, triglycerides, bad colesterol, increase of hard disease, tooth decay… you get the picture.

Substituting your sugar sounds pretty apealing after reading that list of health issues.

Even though xylitol looks and tastes like regular sugar, regular sugar can destroy your body while studies have shown xylitol could possibly heal and repair it. BLOG

Xylitol is a processed sugar alcohol.

Since I am all about natural I do need to stress that xylitol is made through a manufacturing process. But technicaly speaking all sugar alcohols are processed. If you don’t know what a sugar alcohol is, please read more about it on the highlighted link above or below.

Sugar Alcohol Wiki states “Sugar alcohols are usually incompletely absorbed into the blood stream from the small intestines which generally results in a smaller change in blood glucose than “regular” sugar (sucrose). This property makes them popular sweeteners among diabetics and people on low-carbohydrate diets. However as for many other incompletely digestible substances (such as dietary fiber), over consumption of sugar alcohols can lead to bloating, diarrhea and flatulence because they are not absorbed in the small intestine.”

I believe it’s now time to look into the possible dangers in consuming xylitol. Until tomorrow.
