Xylitol - hmmmmm

I was quite intrigued to read some recent posts about xylitol to the extent it might help battle Lyme.

If anything, xylitol mints sounded like a promising alternative to artificial sweeteners with the bonus of preventing cavities while keeping the breath smelling fresh.

I was curious to know just what xylitol is - I suspected sugar alcohol due to the "-tol" ending.

It was disturbing to find this:

Guess I'll stick with the certified organic "healthy mouthwash" I just ordered. So much for convenience lol

Xylitol is part of one of my protocols to bring the buggies out. Not sure if it helps or not but I take a teaspoon a day for a week.
