Xylitol and Osteoporosis

Another exciting benefit from xylitol is its role in reversing bone loss.
Studies in Finland found that xylitol maintained bone density in rats that
had their ovaries removed. Without ovaries, oestrogen levels plummeted and so
did the bone density in rats that were not given xylitol. However, in the
rats that had ovaries removed and were given xylitol, bone density actually
increased.10 Another study showed that xylitol was effective in decreasing
age-related bone loss in older male rats by 10 per cent.11

In an unprecedented action, the Finnish researchers made bold recommendations
for human application of their studies. They suggested that an effective
human dose would be about 40 grams daily. The scientists speculated that
xylitol's bone density enhancing properties are due to its ability to promote
intestinal absorption of calcium. Including xylitol in one's diet is
certainly an enjoyable way to reap the benefits of greater bone density,
along with other health benefits.

Xylitol and Insulin Resistance, Diabetes Hypertension and Hormonal Imbalances
Consuming sugar and other refined carbohydrates results in the rapid release
of glucose, or blood sugar. In response, the pancreas secretes insulin to
usher glucose into the cells, where it is burned for energy. Excess glucose
stresses the system, and over time the cells become less responsive to
insulin. This condition, known as insulin resistance, is a huge health
problem and it is estimated to affect half the American population. Insulin
resistance is associated with abnormalities in cholesterol and triglyceride
levels, hypertension, increased risk of heart disease and diabetes.

The dramatic rise in type-2 diabetes since the mid-1900s directly coincides
with our increased consumption of sugar. One long-term study of more than
65,000 women demonstrated that a high-sugar, low-fibre diet increased the
risk of type-2 diabetes by 250 per cent. Another recent study found that
excessive intake of sugar was the single most important dietary risk factor
for heart disease in women and for men. It has been estimated that sugar
intake may account for more than 150,000 premature deaths from heart disease
in the United States each year.12

Xylitol has been demonstrated in repeated clinical studies to be very slowly
metabolised. In fact, on the glycaemic index, which measures how quickly
foods enter the bloodstream, sugar is rated at 100 and xylitol at just seven!
Xylitol is a natural insulin stabiliser, therefore it causes none of the
abrupt rises and falls that occur with sugar. In fact, it actually helps in
stopping sugar and carbohydrate cravings. Foods sweetened with xylitol will
not raise insulin levels. This makes it a perfect sweetener for people with
diabetes as well as those wanting to lose weight. There is a growing
consensus amongst anti-ageing researchers that maintaining low insulin levels
is a key to a successful anti-ageing program.

Insulin resistance also plays a significant role in hormonal imbalances,
including those that lead to breast cancer. High insulin levels increase the
production of oestrogens, leading to an oestrogen-dominant condition, and
also interfere with healthy ovarian function. Insulin resistance is a major
cause of a growing hormonal problem called polycystic ovarian syndrome
(PCOS). PCOS causes the ovaries to become anovulatory, which means that the
normal cyclic production of oestrogen followed by progesterone either ceases
or becomes dysfunctional. Insulin stimulates the ovaries to produce
predominantly male hormones, which, in combination with higher insulin and
glucose levels, increase weight-gain around the waist--a body type that is a
risk factor for breast cancer. Signs that the body is being exposed to higher
levels of the male hormones include acne, loss of head hair and an increase
in body hair. Lowering insulin levels is crucial for not only treating PCOS
but also resolving most other hormonal imbalances, including those leading to
breast cancer.13

Dr John Lee, author of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer,
explains the connection between insulin resistance and breast cancer:
"Overeating junk food makes you fat. Increased body fat and lack of exercise
lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to further craving of
sugary carbohydrates to generate energy for the body. More insulin is
released in response to increased carbohydrate intake, leading to more weight
gain. More fat leads to more estrogens, which, in turn, lead to earlier
breast development and menstruation. Earlier onset of menstruation leads to
more ovulatory cycles and a greater lifetime exposure to oestrogens without
adequate progesterone. A greater lifetime exposure to estrogens increases
breast cancer risk.

"Simultaneously, increased consumption of simple carbohydrates, coupled with
insulin resistance, leads to polycystic ovaries and lack of ovulation during
menstrual cycles, resulting in excess production of androgens and estrogens,
along with inadequate production of progesterone. Excessive estrogen
production in the absence of progesterone production leads to estrogen
dominance and increased breast cancer risk. Use of contraceptive hormones
increases insulin resistance, exacerbating all the above problems."14

Using xylitol instead of sugar as well as reducing intake of high-glycaemic,
refined carbohydrate foods helps to lower the risk not only of PCOS but also
of ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, PMS, hot flushes, weight gain and
depression.

The Safer Sweetener

Increased sugar consumption has bedevilled Western cultures with more and
more health problems, many of which are putting an enormous strain on health
care systems. Finally, there is an answer to our collective prayers for
something truly healthy that can also satisfy our sweet tooth. Over 1,500
scientific studies have found that the more you use xylitol, the more you can
eliminate sugar cravings, reduce insulin levels and alkalinise your body.

It's a great aid on the way to good health and long life.

Imagine never having to feel those twinges of guilt when you bite into a
xylitol-sweetened brownie. Or how about increasing your bone density while
enjoying your favourite hot drink with two spoonfuls of xylitol crystals, or
knowing that xylitol-sweetened chewing gum is preventing cavities and gum
disease?

With xylitol, you can now have your sweet tooth and treat it, too!

 Xylitol and Ear, Nose and Throat Infections

Recurring middle ear infections pose a great health threat to children. Tubes are often inserted into the ear drum in children with these recurring infections to reduce the fluid that is attempting to wash out the infection from the middle ear. While this procedure sometimes helps to reduce the frequency of infections, it is also designed to help with hearing.

Language, a critical part of learning, is built by auditory input during the first two years of life--the same period when ear infections are most common. If this input is dampened by infection or fluid in the middle ear during this important period, it can cause learning problems. One researcher demonstrated that even when properly treated, recurrent middle ear infections during the first two years result in significant impairment in reading ability up to the age of nine.7 Another study followed children longer and showed significant learning and social problems extending up to age eighteen.8

One of xylitol's versatile benefits is its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause middle ear infections in young children. In two recent studies involving over 1,000 children, xylitol-flavoured chewing gum was found to reduce the incidence of middle ear infections by 40 per cent, significantly decreasing ongoing middle ear complications and the need for antibiotics.

Regularly washing the nose with a spray containing xylitol decreases the number of harmful bacteria and stimulates normal defensive washing of this area. A clean nose reduces problems with allergies and asthma that originate from nasal irritants and pollutants. Current research shows how bacteria attach to cells in the body, causing infection. Some sugars like xylitol are known to be able to interfere with this binding, blocking the attachment of the major infection-causing bacteria that live in the nose. Dr Lon Jones, a physician in Plainsview, Texas, reported that the use of a xylitol nasal spray in his practice prevented 93 per cent of ear infections and resulted in comparable reductions in sinus infections, allergies and asthma.9

Xylitol has been shown to be effective in inhibiting Candida albicans, a serious systemic yeast problem, and other harmful gut bacteria including H. pylori, implicated in periodontal disease, bad breath, gastric and duodenal ulcers and even stomach cancer.

Xylitol and Oral Health

Tooth decay and gum disease are serious problems. According to the American Dental Association, 75 per cent of American adults over the age of 35 suffer from some form of periodontal disease.1 Needless to say, diet plays a major role in dental heath. When there is an excess of sugar in the diet, this weakens the immune system and creates an acidic environment; thus oral health suffers. The mouth is home to over 400 strains of bacteria. Most of these are benign, but when sugar enters the scene it feeds the destructive strains, allowing them to proliferate.

Periodontal disease is basically caused by bacteria. These deposits permit the growth of bacteria that cause inflammation of the gums. The bacteria also release minute amounts of toxins that break down gum tissue, thereby helping the infection to progress. Plaque is an invisible, sticky film of saliva and food residue that constantly forms on the teeth. Ongoing low-grade bacterial infection also burdens the immune system.

Bacteria help to create plaque and they also thrive within it. Unless removed, plaque formed along the gum line can lead to gum disease. When left untreated, plaque at or below the gum line hardens into tartar. Periodontal disease takes two forms: simple gum inflammation, called gingivitis; and a more severe gum infection, called periodontitis, which may lead to tooth loss and receding gums.

Gingivitis results from the build-up of plaque and tartar which irritate the gum or periodontal tissue. The more advanced state of gum disease, periodontitis, occurs when inflammation of the gums is accompanied by bone and ligament destruction. Bleeding gums are usually the first indication that gum disease is developing, but obvious symptoms may not always be present.

Gum infection can also lead to other serious health problems. It doubles the risk of stroke, triples the risk of heart attack, increases the incidence of premature, low-weight babies and also contributes to bronchitis, pneumonia and emphysema. In fact, the same bacteria that cause gum disease end up either directly or indirectly infecting your heart and arteries. A study conducted at the University of Minnesota in 1998 found that rabbits injected with tooth plaque developed blood clots which led to heart disease.2 It seems that the bacteria first attack the bones and gums in the mouth and then enter the bloodstream through small cracks in the gums.

Eating sugar causes tooth decay by creating a highly acidic condition in the mouth. Acidity strips tooth enamel of minerals, causing it to weaken and making it more vulnerable to attack by bacteria, leading to tooth decay or demineralisation. Ordinarily, saliva bathes the mouth with an alkaline solution that neutralises all acidity and actually remineralises the teeth. Saliva also washes away leftover bits of food and helps the digestion process. But when saliva turns acidic because of too many sweets, bacteria in the mouth have a feeding frenzy. These nasty bacteria, along with carbohydrate waste, stick to the teeth and tongue and hold the acid close to the teeth where it eats away enamel. Virtually whatever food you ingest, the remaining particles become food for plaque-producing bacteria. Using xylitol helps to raise plaque pH, thereby reducing the time that teeth are exposed to damaging acids as well as starving harmful bacteria of their food source.

Xylitol is a dentist's dream. It reverses all these destructive effects of sugar on oral health. Xylitol is non-fermentable and therefore cannot be converted to acids by oral bacteria, thus it helps to restore a proper alkaline/acid balance in the mouth. This alkaline environment is inhospitable to all the destructive bacteria, especially the worst variety, Streptococcus mutans. It also inhibits plaque formation.

Using xylitol right before bedtime, after brushing and flossing, protects and heals the teeth and gums. Unlike sugar, it can even be left on the teeth overnight. With proper use, xylitol actually stops the fermentation process leading to tooth decay. Long-term use suppresses the most harmful strains of oral bacteria, making a long-lasting change in those bacterial communities. Xylitol even has the ability to enhance the mineralisation of the enamel. It is most effective in treating small decay spots. Although larger cavities won't go away, they can harden and become less sensitive.

Consistently using small amounts of xylitol tends to increase protective factors in saliva. Xylitol stimulates saliva flow and helps keep salivary minerals in a useful form. Prolonged xylitol use increases the buffering capacity and protective factors in saliva. Increased saliva production is especially important for people suffering with a dry mouth due to illness, ageing or drug side-effects.

Since the oral environment becomes less acidic with continued xylitol use, it is advisable to chew xylitol gum or suck a xylitol mint after every meal or after eating sweet snacks. The best news is that studies have shown that xylitol's effect is long-lasting and possibly even permanent.

Xylitol has recently received positive support in the Journal of the American Dental Association. "Xylitol is an effective preventive agent against dental caries ... Consumption of xylitol-containing chewing gum has been demonstrated to reduce caries in Finnish teenagers by 30&endash;60 per cent. Studies conducted in Canada, Thailand, Polynesia and Belize have shown similar results..."3 A study conducted at Harvard School of Dental Medicine concluded that "xylitol can significantly decrease the incidence of dental caries".

Another unexpected benefit came from a Finnish study which showed that children whose teeth are colonised between 19 and 31 months of age by Streptococcus mutans bacteria are more likely to have a large number of cavities. Most children acquire this bacteria from their mother's saliva through food tasting, sharing cups and kissing. The study showed a dramatic 70 per cent reduction in tooth decay among children whose mothers chewed xylitol gum.

Xylitol, however, isn't just for the young. In a paper published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, researchers tested 111 adults aged 60 and older over a 12-month period. All were frail but healthy adults. In the study, one group of volunteers chewed no gum, a second chewed gum containing xylitol, and a third group chewed gum containing both xylitol and an antimicrobial. In the two groups receiving gum, the participants chewed two pieces for 15 minutes, two times per day. At the end of the study, the researchers reported that the group who received xylitol gum had substantially lowered their risk of developing thrush, a fungal or yeast infection that can cause mouth soreness. (The group who received xylitol plus the antimicrobial had equal benefits.) It had also reduced their risk of developing angular cheilitis, a condition in which sores develop in the corners of the mouth. The researchers noted that xylitol gum can provide a "real clinical benefit" to frail, elderly people.

Xylitol - All Natural Sweetener...Xylitol - Our Sweet Salvation?

Xylitol is not only a safe, natural sweetener without the bad side-effects of
sugar and artificial substitutes, it's also good for your teeth, stabilises
insulin and hormone levels and promotes good health.

Americans have a mighty hankering for sugar. It seems that we just can't get
enough of the stuff. On average, a half a cup of sugar is consumed per person
every day. It is estimated that the average American eats, drinks, slurps,
stirs and sprinkles about 150 pounds of it annually. Never in modern history
has a culture consumed so much sugar.

Sugar truly does deserve its reputation as a "white poison". Thinking of
sugar as a food is really a stretch of the imagination, because it is more a
chemical that is difficult for our bodies to utilise and digest. Humans were
really not designed to eat large amounts of sugar in whatever form it may
take: white and brown, corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, glucose, fructose,
lactose, maltose, barley malt, honey, rice syrup and maple syrup. Sugar is
also highly seductive, acting like an addictive drug that lures even the most
well-intentioned person back into its sweet clutches.

According to Chinese wisdom, sweetness is one of the flavours necessary for
maintaining balance in the body. But regularly eating large amounts of sugar
will cause serious harm. Sugar can cause hypoglycaemia and weight gain,
leading to diabetes and obesity in both children and adults. It leaches the
body of vital minerals and vitamins. It raises blood pressure, triglycerides
and the bad cholesterol (LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease. It
causes tooth decay and periodontal disease, which leads to tooth loss and
systemic infections. It makes it difficult for a child's brain to learn,
resulting in a lack of concentration. Both children and adults exhibit
disruptive behaviour, learning disorders and forgetfulness from sugar
consumption. It initiates auto-immune and immune deficiency disorders such as
arthritis, allergies and asthma. It also upsets hormonal imbalance and
supports the growth of cancer cells.

So what are we to do? Will our sugar-cravings always hold us hostage, or is
there really a way to lick the sugar habit successfully?

Xylitol to the Rescue!

During World War II, Finland was suffering from an acute sugar shortage. With
no domestic supply of sugar, the Finns searched for an alternative. It was
then that the Finnish scientists re-discovered xylitol, a low-calorie sugar
made from birch bark. It had, in fact, been known to the world of organic
chemistry since it was first manufactured in 1891 by a German chemist.
By 1930, xylitol had been purified, but it wasn't until World War II that the
sugar shortages forced researchers to look at alternative sweeteners. It was
only when xylitol was stabilised that it became a viable sweetener in foods.
It was also during this time that researchers discovered xylitol's insulin-
independent nature (it metabolises in the body without using insulin).

By the 1960s, xylitol was being used in Germany, Switzerland, the Soviet
Union and Japan as a preferred sweetener in diabetic diets and as an energy
source for infusion therapy in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and
insulin resistance. Since then, many other countries including Italy and
China have been producing xylitol for use in their domestic markets--and with
remarkable health benefits. It has been relatively unknown in the USA and
Australia, primarily because cheap supplies of cane sugar made the more
expensive xylitol less economically viable.

Xylitol is a natural substance found in fibrous vegetables and fruit, as well
as in corn cobs and various hardwood trees like birch. It is a natural,
intermediate product which regularly occurs in the glucose metabolism of man
and other animals as well as in the metabolism of several plants and micro-
organisms. Xylitol is produced naturally in our bodies; in fact, we make up
to 15 grams daily during normal metabolism.

Although xylitol tastes and looks exactly like sugar, that is where the
similarities end. Xylitol is really sugar's mirror image. While sugar wreaks
havoc on the body, xylitol heals and repairs. It also builds immunity,
protects against chronic degenerative disease and has anti-ageing benefits.

Xylitol is considered a five-carbon sugar, which means it is an
antimicrobial, preventing the growth of bacteria. While sugar is acid
forming, xylitol is alkaline enhancing. All other forms of sugar, including
sorbitol, another popular alternative sweetener, are six-carbon sugars which
feed dangerous bacteria and fungi.

Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1963, xylitol has no
known toxic levels. The only discomfort that some sensitive people may notice
initially when taking large amounts is mild diarrhoea or slight cramping.

Since the body makes xylitol daily, as well as the enzymes to break it down,
any discomfort usually disappears within a few days as the body's enzymatic
activity adjusts to a higher intake.

Xylitol has 40 per cent fewer calories and 75 per cent fewer carbohydrates
than sugar and is slowly absorbed and metabolised, resulting in very
negligible changes in insulin. About one-third of the xylitol that is
consumed is absorbed in the liver. The other two-thirds travels to the
intestinal tract where it is broken down by gut bacteria into short-chain
fatty acids.

Xylitol looks, feels and tastes exactly like sugar and leaves no unpleasant
aftertaste. It is available in many forms. In its crystalline form, it can
replace sugar in cooking, baking or as a sweetener for beverages. It is also
included as an ingredient in chewing gum, mints and nasal spray.

Is Hidden True Cause Of

Alzheimer's Your Toothpaste?

From Paul Kuhlman
5-3-3

Hello Jeff...

I am a truck driver, and have hauled just about everything over the past 13 years.

I read your site's article postulating that naturally occurring aluminum found in water might be the key to Alzheimer's disease. I'll go one better than that.

I once picked up a 44,000 pound load of aluminum dioxide powder in the aptly-named town of Bauxite, Arkansas. Noting that the destination for the load was not a processing plant or a mill, I enquired as to why this load was destined for the Colgate-Palmolive Company. The shipping agent said that the quality of bauxite (Aluminum dioxide) found in Arkansas was too low grade for manufacturing purposes, but was fine for toothpaste.

"Toothpaste?" I enquired. He then went on to explain that common white toothpaste is made largely from Aluminum Dioxide, which is a mildly abrasive, brilliantly white powder. They'll simply add a sudsing agent to make the bubbles, a flavoring agent to make it palatable, perhaps a food coloring agent, some water, and presto - toothpaste.

Go read the ingredients on your tube of toothpaste. It'll list one or two 'active ingredients'...notice the combined total amounts of 'active ingredients' is usually less than 1%. What about the other 99%?

* Were you aware that every day of your life, you are filling your mouth with a gob of nearly pure aluminum dioxide?

* Can you imagine the possible health effects?

* Do you see how this is the number one entry point for aluminum to enter the body?

* Can you guess why the inactive ingredients aren't listed?

* Imagine the outcry from all the millions of health conscious Americans who suddenly discovered that they are being poisoned!

*Yes, that's why they aren't listed.

So, if you and your vast readership are concerned about getting too much aluminum in their diets, you can all relax about naturally occurring aluminum in the water, or cooking with pots and pans. These are trivial sources of aluminum compared with the several pounds of aluminum directly swallowed or absorbed through the tissues while brushing our teeth.

On the bright side, we can all still have a beautiful smile in our old age, if only we can remember how to smile.

Thank You...Paul Kuhlman
