Xylitol

Sugar can cause hypoglycemia 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 behavior, learning disorders, and forgetfulness from sugar consumption. It initiates auto-immune disorders such as arthritis, allergies, and asthma. It also upsets hormonal balance and supports the growth of cancer cells.

Recognizing the harmful effects of sugar consumption makes it a natural choice to seek a healthy alternative. My favorite natural sweetener is Xylitol!

Although xylitol tastes and looks exactly like sugar, that is where the similarities end. Xylitol is like sugar, except good for you. While sugar damages the body, xylitol heals and repairs. It also builds immunity, protects against chronic disease and has anti-aging benefits.

Xylitol has only a negligible impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. This means that unlike sugar, there are no highs and lows: no roller coaster for your energy or your mood, and no subsequent cravings for more sweets and carbohydrates. No adrenal fatigue, no weight gain, no increase in cortisol levels. In fact, xylitol can help keep you hormonally balanced through its insulin stabilization factors.

There are many Xylitol products available. Try some and I think you will agree that this is a wonderful alternative to artificial sweeteners!
