'Deze populaire zoetstof is gelinkt aan hartaanvallen en infarcten'
"Kauwgom, tandpasta, jam, yoghurt, ijs: xylitol zit in bijna elke keukenkast […] Wie hoge waarden xylitol in het bloed heeft, loopt tot 57% meer risico op een hartaanval, beroerte of overlijden."
"Zelfs na dertig jaar was dat risico nog altijd 18% hoger."
"In eerdere onderzoeken toonden we al aan dat xylitol de klontervorming van bloedplaatjes kan versterken"
"het gaat om een observationele studie. Dat betekent dat een verband is aangetoond tussen hoge xylitolwaarden en hart- en vaatproblemen, maar niet dat xylitol die problemen ook daadwerkelijk veroorzaakt. Verder onderzoek moet dat uitwijzen."

‘Despite its growing use, the long-term health impacts of #xylitol have never been widely studied.
In the largest study of its kind, researchers found high blood levels of xylitol were associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.’

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol present in some natural foods in very low amounts.
It is also added – often in amounts 1,000 times higher – to artificially sweeten foods, beverages and oral care products.
Despite its growing use, the long-term health impacts of xylitol have never been widely studied.In the largest study of its kind, researchers found high blood levels of xylitol were associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
The findings were presented in Munich at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) annual congress, the world’s largest heart conference.Researchers looked at 17,710 people and compared the 25% with the highest levels of xylitol in their blood against the 25% with the lowest.
Those who had the highest amount were
57% more likely to die or suffer a heart attack or stroke,
than those with the least, within six years.
Even after 30 years, they were still 18% more likely to have suffered one of these cardiac events.Taken with data from the middle quartiles, the results from both cohorts suggested a dose-dependent relationship:
the higher the xylitol blood levels, the higher the cardiovascular event rate.Furthermore, the researchers showed that there was consistent increase in cardiovascular events with xylitol
irrespective of baseline characteristics, such as age and sex -
Hrm. Possibly bad news for people who prefer diet fizzy drinks for whatever reason.

Did you know you can make a #natural #vegan bubble gum at home with nothing but wheat flour? The texture is perfect and you really can make bubbles!
Just mix som flour with water, leave it for 10 minutes then rinse it under a running water for a few minuter. That's pure gluten. That's how you would make #seitan, the vegan replacement for meat. It's tasteless. It feels exactly like a bubble gum.
You can work in some powdered #xylitol for sweetness and dental benefits and give it to your #child. It will strengthen their jaws and protect them from cavities.
There were studdies that a chewing gum releases microplastics, since most of them are synthetic.
Well my recipe won't.

#Xylit ist mir in Haushalt mit #Hund zu gefährlich.
++++
Für den Menschen ist #Xylitol unbedenklich. Die Insulinausschüttung und damit der Blutzucker-senkende Effekt ist beim Hund jedoch so stark, dass ein lebensbedrohlicher Zustand entstehen kann. Die entstehende Unterzuckerung (Hypoglykämie) führt im Gehirn zu einem Ungleichgewicht der Nervenaktivität und dadurch schließlich zu Gangstörungen, Bewußtseins-Einschränkungern, Zittern und auch epileptischen Anfällen.Geringe Mengen sind bereits ausreichend um eine Vergiftung hervorzurufen. 0,1 g pro kg Körpermasse ist für Hunde bereits giftig. 100 Stück zuckerfreie Kaugummi reichen aus, um eine Vergiftung hervorzurufen. Die Wirkung setzt ca. 30 min. nach Aufnahme ein. ***

If you use artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol, you really should read this. While promoted as "completely natural" this product does some awful things to your body.

Tajusin just, että munkin pitää kyllä tehdä yksi #hamstraus ennen kuin #alv nousee.
Olen #addikti.
Kaissekin menee siihen #makeiset veronkorotukseen, eikä lasketa suuterveydelle edulliseksi asiaksi, minkä myötä sitä voisi kohdella helläkätisemmin.

As a dog owner I only learned of this today.

I'm taking some #COVID advice and trying some #Xylitol nose spray for my travels this year

Still a #NoVid over here! (For Now)

Peanut Butter Alert for Your Pets
A new type of peanut butter (and other nut butters) is being sold with less sugar, but now includes xylitol as a sweetener. That is what is being used in sugarless gum and it can be deadly to dogs. Many people use peanut butter as a dog treat, or to fill a Kong, or disguise medications; if they now use the type with xylitol, it could be very dangerous.
Further information from the FDA:

Apparently it can trigger hypoglycemia in dogs which then leads to vomiting followed by decreased activity, weakness, staggering, incoordination, collapse and seizures. Untreated, it can be fatal.

Xylitol == birch sugar == birch sap == deadly for dogs, some other animals
Many don't know that #xylitol (found in many sugar-free products — including some peanut butters) is especially toxic for dogs, but also can cause problems for (at least) cats and ferrets.
Those who do know *that* often don't know it can be listed as birch sugar or birch sap instead of xylitol.

I would think that my oral health doesn’t suffer much from me being able to brush my #teeth only once a day, because I just consume some liquids and jello (I can’t eat solid food due to #gastroparesis). But I’m trying to look after it, so I’ve started chewing #xylitol gum 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes at a time, as per the instructions on the label.
It sounds like nothing but it still is a non negligible effort with severe #MECFS. Hope I can keep it up, my mouth does feel fresher and cleaner.

@novid He and his girlfriend slept in different rooms and, as previously stated, didn’t come into contact unless they were both donning #respirators correctly.
He used nasal spray with #xylitol round the clock, plus mouthwash with #cpc.
He kept close track of his #vitals and recorded any possible symptoms/changes (which consisted of a small headache, probably more due to the stress of trying to stay #CovidNegative when #XBB was in his personal space!).

#MedicalProfessionals should know better. 3+ years into the #pandemic, they should already be aware of the fact that it’s no more difficult to breathe while wearing a high quality respirator than it is when not wearing one. And I told them as much.
I’ve been using mouthwash containing #CPC and nose spray with #xylitol every few hours for the last 24 hours, crossing my fingers, and feeling lucky to have gotten 2x #Novavax in the past four months. But still a little nervous.

Friendly reminder that #Xylitol is poisonous to dogs. Spent 20 minutes frantic as hell because my beast of a dog tore into a brand new pact of gum. Googled what could happen and got horrified. Dug through the trash to realize at worst he maybe ate only one piece. Thankfully he's 150lbs, but monitoring to make sure he's okay.
