Xylitol health benefits

Xylitol is derived from wood alcohol and is an alternative to sugar, it has less calories, a low GI so you dont crave any sugar for a long time, its good for your teeth health, which is mind blowing, the wonderful thing is, it doesnt allow bacteria to grow so they cant get into the tooth to start with, and it is even a remedy for middle ear infection and sinus, all to do with the bacteria that grows on sugars that are present on the cells in these areas. You can make a solution with water and inhale or squirt some down ear canal, and can gargle for strep throat ( Wikepedia reference suggests a saline an xylitol solution so I presume they mean a salt and xylitol solution). Its great as a chewing gum and chewing it can also release middle ear blockages, so great for children with this problem. It can create a diahorrea effect until the body gets used to it. I use it instead of sugar in my coffee and that saves me probably a couple of tablespoons of sugar in my body. Check it out!!!:)
