[cancercured] Re: Chewing Gum

Xylitol gum can be purchased reasonably if you buy it "in quantity" from a number of sites on the internet. It doesn't contain any aspartame and is no more expensive than regular gum when bought in containers of 300 pieces. I have used the gum, as well as xylitol toothpaste, mouthwash and breath mints. I have not experienced the laxative effects, but on my last visit to the dentist, the hygenist remarked how much my gums had improved and my pockets were 2-3 instead of 4's and 5's.

I asked the dentist if xylitol might be responsible, and she responded, "Oh yes, xylitol is very good!"

Made me wonder why she, or any other dental professional, has never TOLD ME ABOUT IT!!! You don't suppose they have an ulterior motive for keeping xylitol quiet?
