You should look into Dr. Ellie Phillips. She was a practicing dentist for 40 years and has a lot of information on Xylitol and using it. I believe in her "old age" she founded and now runs a Xylitol company because of the dental benefits. From her I learned there are studies going back to the 1970s that show the wonders of Xylitol and dental health. She's written several books and is here on RUclips.
Thank you i found her first then this came up in my feed … i ordered Ellie Phillips book when i found her 2days ago coming tomorrow because i cannot afford her educational course atm which is a few x the £ of the book. I really want a healthy biome in my mouth instead of the sugar / fluoride battle we all stuck with.
Isn't it interesting that in Europe, they have used xylitol for decades? Yet in the US, not a peep. My hygienist never mentioned xylitol until AFTER I informed her that I started using it after meals. THEN she became very knowledgeable about its benefits and how it prevents caries. What a joke of a dentist and hygienist... I am disgusted that they don't tell people about it because they would lose CASH$$$$$ and patients... How wonderful would it be that children never got a cavity their entire childhood? How financially freeing would less dental work be?
Been using Dr. Ellie's Philips Zellies gum for 2 1/2 months and my gums are no longer inflamed. I can tell that my pockets are starting to go away and I have no tenderness anymore. I also don't have bad breath in the morning. I use Zellie's cinnamon flavor (delicious) and the mint ones when I run out.Dr. Ellie Philips is truly a godsend.
I have been chewing PUR gum for years (the also have mints). It is a natural gum made from chicle, not oil like most other gums, and is sweetened with Xylitol only. It is a Canadian company. but the gum is actually manufactured in Switzerland. Lots of good flavours too.
@@kathleenking47do you mean fleas, mosquitoes and all other blood sucking insects are less likely to bite/feed off you due to lower sugar content in the blood?
I discovered the benefits of xylitol years ago in a dental hygiene journal and recommended to patients for years. I'm now a registered dietitian and still recommend it to help with balancing blood sugar. Thank you for sharing the many benefits of xylitol that I wasn't even aware of.
I've used xylitol for 15 or 20 years and it's fabulous! But, a couple of cautions. First, start with a lower dose and work up to the 5 or 6 grams per day over a month. The reason is that too much can upset your stomach and cause diarrhea. It's not harmful in any way... just start slow. The other caution is to be sure that the xylitol that you are using is 100% sourced from the US and made from birch trees. The xylitol sourced from China has been reported to sometimes be contaminated. Finally, instead of gum, I put it in my coffee, which I sip all morning. Then, I switch to iced tea in the afternoon with xylitol. Then, after brushing in the evening, I enjoy a xylitol mint before bed. Last thing... I used to have pockets in my gums that were 4 or 5 deep. They are completely gone. I use CloSYS before brushing to adjust the pH in my mouth, then brush, then Listerine Cool Mint. And, as mentioned, sip on xylitol most of the day.
Do you find it helps with anti aging ? I have read that it helps calcium get into bones and can prevent osteoporosis.Also check if Listerine has alcohol as alcohol is a proven canceriogenic
I find the mints quite expensive.... I just use the granular form...... I let 1/2 teaspoon dissolve in my mouth.... let it sit for a minute then spit it out...I assume this is ok to do it this way? ?

@@johnnylawrence7232 I keep it 10 to 20 minutes in my mouth before spitting it.
I live in Quebec, Canada and I have yet to meet a dentist that will suggest the use of xylitol. I am definitely getting on this and will spread the word. Thanks!
Canadian dentistry is so behind what so done in California USA. I have yet to hear about holistic dentistry there. I’m Canadian and one big reason I would not go back to live in Quebec where I’m from is the lack of holistic state of the art offerings
@@VEERICmake sure u get the green coloured package (spearmint) as it is their only pack that doesn’t contain malic or citric acids which counters the positive affects of the xylitol. Happy chewing!
@@MJ_LifeCoachmy good friend is a functional dentist and dental association does not like any of them. It is a big cult, you need to learn and take care of yourself.
I've been using Xylitol in my coffee for some time when I stopped using cane sugar. My dentist shut down during Covid so I skipped my cleanings for about 3 years. I finally went back recently and the dentist commented that I had very little plaque, just a little on the back molars. I didn't know that xylitol would help prevent plaque and cavities.
You will get far more benefit from having a tiny 1 gram amount of xylitol as you finish drinking your coffee - more than when you add it INTO your coffee.
@@dr.elliephillipsThank you Dr Ellie, I was just having my morning coffee and wondering about this very thing ! By the way I'm one month into your system and my gums are feeling much better
I've started a regiment of xylitol gum (Pur, 2 pieces = 4gr ) morning, afternoon and evenings or (After meals). I also started rinsing with pure xylitol (from birch) mixed with water before going to bed. I mix a 20oz water bottle with 2tbs (1tbs=4gr) of xylitol. This usually lasts two to three days. After watching your content, I'll also finish with a small swig for gut health. Great video...
Strengthening your TEETH. Xylitol can reduce a 50% level of plaque build up. Using gum, sweetened with xylitol after a meal was seen to be just as beneficial as replacing the sugar just as Xylitol.
I am a dentist and gave Spry gum that has Xylitol in it to my son growing up which I believe helped him have very little tooth decay. I recommended using it. I have also heard the Xylitol gum by Pur is good too.
Thank you two for caring and truly wanting to help. My girlfriend see's a regular dentist and a specialist and has been doing this for years. Neither one of them has said anything about Xylitol. Now she has an infected tooth, upper front, and they want to pull it or do a root canal. I reckon these two guys are more interested in repeat patients and not into prevention. I ordered everything, from amazon, that Dr. Ellie Phillips recommended to restore the mouth to a healthy state. And now you ladies are saying that xylitol benefits other parts of the body, as well. My girlfriend also suffers from yeast infections. Hopefully this will help her in many ways. I'll keep in touch and let you know how it goes.
For Candida/ yeast infections for women. Insert 1 capsule containing boric acid deep into the vag every night for at least 2 weeks. It will neutralise the ph to something less acidic.
I followed Dr. Ellie advice and I couldn't believe the results after using Non gmo xylitol. Within three days my gums stopped bleeding from having gingivitis. First time in years I am seeing a healthy mouth. I cant wait to see my dentist reaction on my next teeth cleaning visit!
Doesn't Dr Ellie discourage having regular dental cleanings? (Without actually telling you not to have them.) She talks abjout how they strip the all important biofilm from the teeth, so now I wonder if they are really worthwhile.
I bought a bag of xylitol crystals and made a simple syrup with it that I keep in a jar on my bathroom counter. When I brush my teeth, I dip my toothbrush in it before applying toothpaste instead of using tap water.
@@followthatstargirl824 No heat needed. I just buy xylitol and mix it with filtered water in a jar with a lid, mixing with a spoon until it's all dissolved. Sometimes it takes a day for it to sit and completely dissolve.
I have a goal of avoiding the dentist by caring for my teeth wisely so I am grateful for this information, will have to get some Xylitol gum (without sorbitol)😊
When you say "cleans out the bowels" do you mean causes diarrhea, because that's what it sounds like. I suppose that can beneficial at times for those backed up and is dose dependent, but for most "regular" people or those with IBS (irritable bowel) having frequent loose bowels, if this exacerbates that and causes additional weight loss that can mean loss of lean mass and malnutrition, meaning your also not absorbing essential nutrients and protein. Over time this leads to poor health, degeneration, sickness, so I would advise people to be cautious about the laxative properties and not overdo that intentionally to lose weight. In the past people used laxative dieter's teas, like Laci La Beau and some people died of cardiac failure from loss of potassium as an electrolyte needed for a proper heart beat. Laci LaBeau was even sued for causing the death of many people by promoting a laxative for weight loss. In fact this is a common cause of death for those with anorexia who intentionally abuse laxatives to lose weight.
@@brienq Strange interpretation, cleaning does not mean harsh flushing out, cleaning is a gentle process. Just as fibre cleans the bowel, so Xylitol works too. Obviously, if you took too much it could have an adverse effect, just as eating too many oranges or whatever would do too.
@@brienqI have a history of IBS-D, and although sorbitol gives me the runs xylitol does not. I thought I read/heard somewhere that xylitol isnt considered to be high in FODMAPS (although it isn't on my FODMAP app, so perhaps Monash hasnt actually tested it yet).
I loved this. I've used xylatol for years. I had to comment when you mentioned recurrent ear infections. Echinacea saved my son from surgery due to repeated ear infections. They ended once I started using a children's echinacea tincture.
As an adult, I get ear infections. I'll have to look into the echinacea tinctures. I keep a tincture of garlic olive oil in my refrigerator. Ironically, whenever I get a toothache or earache, I put a squirt in my ear, then hold it in with a cotton ball and a small piece of masking tape to keep it in my ear overnight. It works wonders. I have no idea if it is good for children. I make the oil myself by cutting garlic in to small pieces, then putting it into some olive oil. I strain out the chunks of garlic, then put the oil into a tincture.
My son self-medicated with garlic. Kept the little bubble like candy in an open dish. After repeat ear infections, the Swedish pediatrician gave me this treatment. Son was headed to Tubes in ears, but before he ears inflamed, he would start eating the bubbles of garlic and he never had another infection. He was just learning to walk when we began this habit
I’m so relieved this xylitol toothpaste I’ve been using on my daughter for 8 years is so beneficial to her . Her dad and I were just joking about how we couldn’t believe she had no cavities coming back from the dentist again. Unfortunately his parents spoil her and she eats quite poorly when she goes over there and it always worries us. Perhaps this xylitol has been saving her all the while.
I know you did not mention this, but some people who talk about the microbiome have said that listerine can reduce the variety of the microbiome. This is what put me off another dentist who has a dental routine that does uses various rinses including a listerine. I'm glad I saw your video because Im in my seventies and sometimes I think my gums can't handle what may be too vigorous flossing. I found this video to be really interesting.
This is Dr. Ellie and there is a lot of misinformation about Listerine. In the system I teach the Listerine is incorporated within as specific system - and the results are amazing. It is very encouraging to hear these young hygienists talking about xylitol. I began my xylitol company Zellies in the early 2000s - as a qualified dentist who was beside myself that so few people understood xylitol and its incredible dental benefits. You may enjoy my book Mouth Care Comes Clean (Amazon) that explains more about the oral microbiome and the effect of xylitol and my system on oral health.
I have only just heard of this. I live in England and Xylitol has never ever been mentioned by a dentist to me in all my years, or to my family. I am now in the process of ordering this dental/nasal miracle worker. Thank you so much
My recent dental cleaning was done by the dentist(having a hard tim finding hygienists) He was a bit grumpy as I always have a LOT of plaque. His solution was to insist I do not floss enough, and should buy a water pik. i am mildly annoyed as plaque has been a continuous life time problem and none of the usual solutions work. This is the FIRST logical alternative I have heard about and have ordered Xylitol gum will begin 5 gm a day to see how this works before the next cleaning.
I’d find a different dentist. Grumpy about doing his job is not acceptable. AND I’d guess that since he’s irritated, he’s not very gentle, either. I’ve never had a cleaning hurt, until my last one. The hygienist was brutal. Next appointment...you can be sure that I will demand not having her. Even if it requires changing appt date or changing dentists.
@@Goldencitygirl So interestingly although I have plaque/calculus buildup I have no receding gums or gum disease. Am thinking I just likely have a ph thats too acidic. And I have no trouble getting cleaning done between teeth with a bit of floss. So I am after the reduction of this plaque buildup so will first try the xylitol. Dr. Ellie Phillips has lots of videos on this subject as well and has promoted this for years. So this is definitely a growing thing.
For some reason, I have been experiencing dry mouth and xylitol gum immediately increases my saliva and calms my saliva ph. I am going to try other products for the nasal passages.
Thank you! I suffer from dry mouth at night and I accidentally stumbled across a product called XyliMelts. It adheres to the gum line and slowly dissolves during the night. My dentist had given me a prescription that was going to cost $800/mo out of pocket! Can’t do that on a fixed income! I’m going to look into the Spry products you suggested as I’ve suffered from sinus issues and allergies my entire life. Thank you for this information and I’m sharing your video!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Another great product to try for dry mouth and tooth remineralization is Basic Bites - which use arginine and calcium
That dentist saw you coming. What a rip off merchant and gangster. Why are all American dentists and Dr's such rip off merchants. So glad I live in Europe but having said that some of our dentists and Dr's are getting Americanized especially the ones that have gone on work experience to the USA
thank you sooo much from Canada! Just heard about xylitol today from Dr. Ellie Phillips and now you two. I always confirm new claims as there is alot of miracle products promoted on the internet and I see others sites I will check out too. I will mention your website to my dentist!!!
I happened to see a package in the health store today, it reads that you can replace sugar with it, but you have to add slowly so your system can get used to it.
Great podcast on xylitol. I have been using it as a sugar substitute for my diabetes over the last 12 months and noticed my gingivitis has stopped! I will add it to a saline rinse and now brush my teeth with it also!
Started chewing 2 PUR after meals/snacks around 4 months ago. Just noticed last week how clean my tongue is, and I dont scrape. Good sign Started putting xylitol crystals in my morning coffee recently and now find out it helps to absorb calcium. Love a latte. Who knew?!
My Xylitol Rinse 64oz water 4tsp baking soda 8 tbl xylitol 20 drops mint oil Rinse for 1 min, 5x/day Keep by the commode and rinse as you go. Spit in commode. Gives me loose bowels if I swallow it in quantity.
Hopefully helpful story. Heard about xylitol 10 + years ago, made some molasses cookies using it instead of sugar, made a double batch no regular sugar at all. When they were done and cooled I ate one, it was delicious and I ate 3 more. About an hour and a half later I was pretty much stuck to the locale of the bathroom for 2- 3 hours. The amount of xylitol, of which I had no prior experience, cleaned me out. Other than depleting my supply of TP, there were no long term ill effects. I have been making my own nasal spray for awhile now, and was very pleased to hear the many benefits involved in with it's use. Very curious to find out if the anti-plaquing of dental film carries over to other aspects of plaquing elsewhere in the body. Thanks so much for the info.
Thank you! as a Head and neck cancer surviver, I have severe dental issues.floride seems to have failed as a prevention. I well try this route for a while. Keep up the great work.
I bought xylitol a few months ago to use instead of sugar on top of some pastries I make, but my kids noticed the difference. When substituted for sugar in icing I also noticed a difference, it made it a bit lemony in taste. That is not to say - don't buy it, by all means do, but it tastes slightly different than sugar, but still better than stevia and it's white. Most people will not notice the difference, I think. My kids also like minty toothpaste and they don't like sweet and jelly-type kind, so when I added xylitol to their minty tooth powder they noticed it's sweet so we've been using Italian remineralizing mint toothpaste for a few months but will try with the powder mixed in with xylitol again. I always use fluoride-free toothpaste for them since they were babies and toothpaste with xylitol in it, but they had some cavities still, so I think the amount of xylitol they put in this Polish Ziajka brand toothpaste wasn't enough, I don't know. That's why I try the Breylee tooth powder with mixed in xylitol. I don't mind using powdered xylitol on it own - put a tiny bit in my mouth and swish around after meals, I haven't tried that with my kids as I thought they will not like it. So strange, isn't it, that my kids don't like what most kids prefer in toothpaste products. Especially my 8yo is a fan of mint. As toddlers, they were so obsessed with their white Ziajka toothpaste that they will not use ANY OTHER TOOTHPASTE AT ALL. I always had to buy in bulk and keep an eye to always order on time, or else they will not brush their teeth with anything else. Finally, they accepted Breylee tooth powder which is made with pearl essence and I think mint and xylitol as well but I no longer have an outer packaging, so don't know for sure as it is not written on a plastic jar what the ingredients are. I like this product a lot, it brightened my teeth, it lasts forever and it foams so well and I can add even more xylitol to it.
As a diabetic I use xylitol, I have been using it for many years. I haven’t had a cavity since I started using it apart from a tiny one that the dentist says is to small to fill. It may not be there anymore thinking about it. I haven’t noticed it for a while 😀
Good to know--just curious about whether you experienced any bloating/gas from xylitol. Dr. Ellie Phillips says not an issue unless sorbitol is used with it(Orbit gum does that) but pure xylitol does not. Your experience?
@@judyrobinson2282 I haven’t had any problems but I only have one spoon in my drinks and a sprinkle when I have yoghurt. My daughters Mother in Law had a runny Tummy from it but she had four spoons in her tea . She drank quite a lot of tea 🙃
I just started using it; I mix a teaspoon of the crystals with a mouthful of water and swish it around my mouth for 15 min each morning, I also do a 15 min coconut swish each morning, before I clean my teeth.
Great info thank you. I’ve recently discovered xylitol and have been using it in the hope it will fix a tooth giving me grief. It was totally fine until my dentist replaced a deep filling that had fallen out. Wish I’d known about xylitol sooner - I would have left it. It is super sensitive to pressure and I’m concerned the nerve has been damaged by the filling procedure. I’d be grateful for any insights on what I can do about this….. it’s been three months of not being able to chew on that side properly.
Dr. Berg recently made a video concerning the use of Hydrogen Peroxide as a pre rinse and post rinse when brushing. He suggested 1 part HP to 3 parts water, however I prefer a 1 part HP with 2 parts water. Comments welcome. Will look for this gum in my area. Have been a dedicated flosser for years until I listened to E. Phillips. (2023) One side comment: Charissa Wood, I love your eyes;)
Makes sense since naturally occurring beneficial oral bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide to fight the harmful ones. There's a war on in our mouths and the average modern diet helps the invaders.
I am not in the dental field. This popped at the top of my list as a suggestion and I am so glad I watched you! Suggesting to my family and friends as well! Thank you for taking the time to research and make this video. Was there a suggesting for overcoming the gas and bloating?
If you check out Dr. Ellie Phillips here on RUclips she says that the intestinal bloating is not a problem unless the chewing gum etc has sorbitol added. I DEFINITELY cannot have that. But I haven't used pure xylitol in enough volume to know if it will cause that. Dr. Ellie has had no issues with her patients that use ONLY xylitol. Also the 5 gm dose/day is so low that I think think its likely to be a non issue. Going to give this a try.
Another way you can use xylitol is "pulling". Traditionally (in Ayurveda) pulling was done with oil. Xylitol pulling is said to be even more effective (I've been doing it for a week, and my teeth certainly feel extremely clean from doing it, though too soon to know the outcome in terms of my gum disease). You put a teaspoon of granulated xylitol in your mouth and swish it throughout your mouth, pulling it between the teeth, for 10 minutes. Sometimes gargle for a bit during this time. Then spit it out, and some say after that to rinse your mouth. Less xylitol would be absorbed than from chewing gum and swallowing.
Good tip. I recently started to do a little rinse and then spit it out because I heard somewhere it is high in oxalic acid. I have a kidney issue recently. Not from xylitol.
We have to remember we create the culture we are in. When we continue to normalize sugar, alchohol & boys/men "just being boys/men" in every celebration or daily life...we are as a society creating the degradation of our lives. Older generations, especially who know better, need to stop undoing the good habits parents are trying so hard daily to instill in their kids. It's up to each of us to normalize good behavior & habits, and stop condoning or perpetuating bad ones. 💞
When we continue to normalize sugar, alchohol & girls/women "just being girls/women in every celebrate or daily life...we are as a society creating the degradation of our lives.

Just three days ago I was diagnosed with periodontal disease. The other thing I researched is a connection between high blood pressure and perioditis. I've always had high BP for sometime but refuse to take medication. I will now buy Xylitol to help bring PD under control. Update: had gp visit yesterday. Bp is perfect now??? A first for a long time .... haven't received Xylitol in the post yet. Maybe it was the Celtic salt/water gargle??
Zylitol was not a viable sugar substitute because, like sugar alcohals, it is not digestible and can create severe, powerful and uncomfortable bloating followed by diarrhea.
I have been recommending Xylitol to my patients for those with high Carie’s risk, recession, perio as well. I, myself don’t use F L U O R I D E. at home in my water or toothpaste but I have my family using xylitol gum after meals. I suggest no eating or drinking for at least 30 min after use.
Chewing xylitol gum is like working out for the muscles of the mouth, ears, and all over the head which has a great positive impacts on the health of teeth, gum, ears, eyes, skin of the face, the hair.
I don’t remember the name of the brand of echinacea I started with years ago but now I use St. Francis Herb Farm tinctures. It is a Canadian company. Through the years I have done research and I find it’s best to use a tincture that has both the angustifolia and the purpurea strains of echinacea. My family use it at the first sign of any illness.
@@lisbethbessil-watson6464 St. Francis herb company. They have several different combinations of herbs. I buy the tinctures that have both the purea and the angostuforia strains of Echinacea. I hope I’m spelling those right. Hope that helps.
I have been alternating periodontist cleaning and dentist cleaning since 1999 every four months. The perio said back in 2000 the importance of chewing gun for my kind of periodontist disease. He said gum disease has a higher amount of different harmful bacteria than the average person. I have chewed gum with Xylitol ever since and still keep my appointments.
Since about 20% of the population has irritable bowel (IBS) can anyone who has IBS give feedback about how xylitol might have impacted this condition by causing increased gas, bloating, or diarrhea? Many IBS sufferers have to avoid FODMAPS foods which includes indigestible polyols like xylitol, but each polyol (sorbitol, erythritol, mannitol, xylitol) can have varying degrees of digestibility or the ability to be absorbed. For example, erythritol is well absorbed for most people up to 30 or so grams.
Update: the dosage is pretty high to be laxative, i.e., above 20 g and more like 50 g, though some people can be sensitive to lower doses if they ingest other polyols or simple sugars . The 6 to 7 g a day for dental health doesn't sound like it should be a problem. "When ingested at high doses, xylitol and other polyols may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including flatulence, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (see Metabolism above); some people experience the adverse effects at lower doses.Xylitol has a lower laxation threshold than some sugar alcohols but is more easily tolerated than mannitol and sorbitol.
When chewing gum, after each meal, I can’t help but think it helps remove gunk, in our teeth, if we aren’t brushing after the meal. Few brush after every meal. I would think the gum helps get the bits out.
I think it’s smart to check the studies which found that xylitol is harmful for your gut biome and use very little to none of that stuff. Andrew Huberman also reported on that ;-)
I have lifelong IBS. I can't use xylitol because it ends in gas, bloating, pain and diarrhea. If it's in toothpaste and I don't swallow it I might be ok.
Thanks for the very informative video. Can you confirm that Xylitol doesn't interfere with the production of nitric oxide in the mouth? Nitric oxide has been proven to reduce hypertension and to encourage the production of this gas I have cut out fluoride, mouthwashes and antacids which interfere with the process. Dr Nathan Bryan is an expert on NO and there are a number of interviews with him on RUclips. Hope you can advise.
Thanks for mentioning this. I have migraines and will order a small sample before going all in to see what happens. (Lots of “natural” stuff can trigger headaches).
Wow. It never occurred to me that the xylitol oral health products I just recently got, could be what’s giving me these headaches! I never used Xylitol before and it’s been under 2 weeks that I just started using the Xylitol toothpaste (2x day), Xylitol mints which are very tiny a couple x’s per day, and the Xylitol chewing gum 1x per day. I’m sure it’s just trace amounts that get absorbed through the mouth, but as far as headaches go, I wouldn’t be surprised that it takes very little to trigger a headache or migraine.
You are 3rd or 4th medical professional to cosign and educate on Xylitol! I WANT TO TRY IT. Do you have a website to purchase the dental items like gum?
I just bought corn . I trust it will be fine. I like it’s American made. Will purchase birch next time. What are your thoughts with the corn vs birch xylitol?
I think most mass produced xylitol comes from corn? Not trusting it 100% yet. Maybe for oral health but a bit nervous about taking internally for long periods. Especially with gut issues.
Thank you for this 🙏 I just saw the video and subscribed. I have periodontitis and can now see the root of 5 out of my 6 frontal bottom teeth as my gum there is really thin! I think from traumatic brushing. I have heard in the video that Xylitol can help with the periodontal bacteria. Could it help to thicken/regrow the gum? Is it too late? I was looking for the other podcast with Laura Hopper about the periodontal issues and use of Xylitol, referred to in this video, but I couldn’t find it. Could you please indicate where I can find it? Thank you so much 🙏🌹
Xylitol is deadly to dogs!! I lost my 60lb boxer after he ate only half a pack of gum. I get that it's a useful product, but it should come with a warning!
I am sorry for your loss. Peanut butter with xylitol has killed many dogs. There are not warnings out there. We must self educate and share with others. There are no warnings on grapes either. Grapes create kidney disease in dogs, slowly over time. I had one die of this. Horrible. And vets are poisoning pets withnvaccines!!,
@showbread9366 no need to. He had a seizure around 30 minutes after eating the gum. Took him to the emergency vet and they treated him for the sudden drop in his blood sugar caused by the xylitol. Over the next 36 hours I paid over $6000 for him to have multiple plasma transfers but ultimately we couldn't save him. This was 100% a result of him getting into that gum. And since the majority of xylitol is present in the coating of the gum, inducing vomiting would have done nothing because it had already been absorbed. Xylitol is a DEADLY product that should come with a WARNING!!!!
i knew about xylatol. 20 years ago in finland its given to children in tablet form after lunch , to prevent toothdecay i also use it as a sweatner in pies ie apple crumble with 50% sugar so that i keep my family weight down . its made from birch tree syrop just like maple syrop the mystery is over , if u go to the forest with the right implements u could get it for free , it is rather expensive to replace sweet.....

I discovered the benefits of xylitol years ago in a dental hygiene journal and recommended to patients for years. I'm now a registered dietitian and still recommend it to help with balancing blood sugar. Thank you for sharing the many benefits of xylitol that I wasn't even aware of.
I've used xylitol for 15 or 20 years and it's fabulous! But, a couple of cautions. First, start with a lower dose and work up to the 5 or 6 grams per day over a month. The reason is that too much can upset your stomach and cause diarrhea. It's not harmful in any way... just start slow. The other caution is to be sure that the xylitol that you are using is 100% sourced from the US and made from birch trees. The xylitol sourced from China has been reported to sometimes be contaminated. Finally, instead of gum, I put it in my coffee, which I sip all morning. Then, I switch to iced tea in the afternoon with xylitol. Then, after brushing in the evening, I enjoy a xylitol mint before bed. Last thing... I used to have pockets in my gums that were 4 or 5 deep. They are completely gone. I use CloSYS before brushing to adjust the pH in my mouth, then brush, then Listerine Cool Mint. And, as mentioned, sip on xylitol most of the day.
Do you find it helps with anti aging ? I have read that it helps calcium get into bones and can prevent osteoporosis.Also check if Listerine has alcohol as alcohol is a proven canceriogenic
How much Closys do you use?
I find the mints quite expensive.... I just use the granular form...... I let 1/2 teaspoon dissolve in my mouth.... let it sit for a minute then spit it out...I assume this is ok to do it this way? ?
@@johnnylawrence7232 I keep it 10 to 20 minutes in my mouth before spitting it.
will have to try
I live in Quebec, Canada and I have yet to meet a dentist that will suggest the use of xylitol. I am definitely getting on this and will spread the word. Thanks!
Same here my dentist would probably never suggest this..🇨🇦…I live in N.S…but I am buying the gum from Amazon…
Canada produces a xylitol gum called PUR, I just purchased it, it’s very good and will become an every Day habit.
Canadian dentistry is so behind what so done in California USA. I have yet to hear about holistic dentistry there. I’m Canadian and one big reason I would not go back to live in Quebec where I’m from is the lack of holistic state of the art offerings
@@VEERICmake sure u get the green coloured package (spearmint) as it is their only pack that doesn’t contain malic or citric acids which counters the positive affects of the xylitol. Happy chewing!
@@MJ_LifeCoachmy good friend is a functional dentist and dental association does not like any of them.
It is a big cult, you need to learn and take care of yourself.
I've been using Xylitol in my coffee for some time when I stopped using cane sugar. My dentist shut down during Covid so I skipped my cleanings for about 3 years. I finally went back recently and the dentist commented that I had very little plaque, just a little on the back molars. I didn't know that xylitol would help prevent plaque and cavities.
You will get far more benefit from having a tiny 1 gram amount of xylitol as you finish drinking your coffee - more than when you add it INTO your coffee.
@@dr.elliephillipsThank you Dr Ellie, I was just having my morning coffee and wondering about this very thing !
By the way I'm one month into your system and my gums are feeling much better
I've been chewing the gum for a couple of months and my gums are finally growing back to where they shoud be.
Excuse me, where did you buy your product and what kind of presentation?
Thank you
Awesome…I plan on ordering from Amazon
Is this safe for children?
Dr Ellie says that in Finland they give it to babies on a wipe. So yes. Check her videos out
Your gums are growing back? I have some gum recession I'm going to try
I've been chewing xylitol gum but didn't know the effects were cancelled out by sorbitol - which mine has in it. Thanks for making this video.
We're so glad it was helpful for you!
@@bulletproofhygiene does pur gum have sorbitol
Dr. Peter McCullough just did a podcast on the benefits of Xylitol this week too!
I've started a regiment of xylitol gum (Pur, 2 pieces = 4gr ) morning, afternoon and evenings or (After meals). I also started rinsing with pure xylitol (from birch) mixed with water before going to bed. I mix a 20oz water bottle with 2tbs (1tbs=4gr) of xylitol. This usually lasts two to three days. After watching your content, I'll also finish with a small swig for gut health. Great video...
Strengthening your TEETH. Xylitol can reduce a 50% level of plaque build up. Using gum, sweetened with xylitol after a meal was seen to be just as beneficial as replacing the sugar just as Xylitol.
I am a dentist and gave Spry gum that has Xylitol in it to my son growing up which I believe helped him have very little tooth decay. I recommended using it. I have also heard the Xylitol gum by Pur is good too.
Thank you two for caring and truly wanting to help. My girlfriend see's a regular dentist and a specialist and has been doing this for years. Neither one of them has said anything about Xylitol. Now she has an infected tooth, upper front, and they want to pull it or do a root canal. I reckon these two guys are more interested in repeat patients and not into prevention. I ordered everything, from amazon, that Dr. Ellie Phillips recommended to restore the mouth to a healthy state. And now you ladies are saying that xylitol benefits other parts of the body, as well. My girlfriend also suffers from yeast infections. Hopefully this will help her in many ways. I'll keep in touch and let you know how it goes.
What do you get from Amazon per Dr. Ellie's recommendations? I want to get on the band wagon too! Thx
Go on her website ,it will tell you on there
@@helenbarber5980 I know for sure I replied to Karen. I reckon sometimes things get lost on this platform
Put her on a Parasite and Candida Cleanse for the yeast situation.
For Candida/ yeast infections for women.
Insert 1 capsule containing boric acid deep into the vag every night for at least 2 weeks. It will neutralise the ph to something less acidic.
I followed Dr. Ellie advice and I couldn't believe the results after using Non gmo xylitol. Within three days my gums stopped bleeding from having gingivitis. First time in years I am seeing a healthy mouth. I cant wait to see my dentist reaction on my next teeth cleaning visit!
Wow! How are things now?
Doesn't Dr Ellie discourage having regular dental cleanings? (Without actually telling you not to have them.) She talks abjout how they strip the all important biofilm from the teeth, so now I wonder if they are really worthwhile.
@@geoc1005if there is no plaque to remove then dentists won’t do cleaning.
I bought a bag of xylitol crystals and made a simple syrup with it that I keep in a jar on my bathroom counter. When I brush my teeth, I dip my toothbrush in it before applying toothpaste instead of using tap water.
Hello! How do you do this syrup? do you add water and heat? Or just the xylitol then heat? Apprexiate your response. Thank you!
@@followthatstargirl824 No heat needed. I just buy xylitol and mix it with filtered water in a jar with a lid, mixing with a spoon until it's all dissolved. Sometimes it takes a day for it to sit and completely dissolve.
I have a goal of avoiding the dentist by caring for my teeth wisely so I am grateful for this information, will have to get some Xylitol gum (without sorbitol)😊
I just added Pur xylitol gum to my Amazon cart as this the the second time in two days I have heard this message.
That’s the brand I am going to order as well from Amazon…
It kills Candida, cleans out the bowels and lose weight. Been using for recipes too for years! Love it
When you say "cleans out the bowels" do you mean causes diarrhea, because that's what it sounds like. I suppose that can beneficial at times for those backed up and is dose dependent, but for most "regular" people or those with IBS (irritable bowel) having frequent loose bowels, if this exacerbates that and causes additional weight loss that can mean loss of lean mass and malnutrition, meaning your also not absorbing essential nutrients and protein. Over time this leads to poor health, degeneration, sickness, so I would advise people to be cautious about the laxative properties and not overdo that intentionally to lose weight. In the past people used laxative dieter's teas, like Laci La Beau and some people died of cardiac failure from loss of potassium as an electrolyte needed for a proper heart beat. Laci LaBeau was even sued for causing the death of many people by promoting a laxative for weight loss. In fact this is a common cause of death for those with anorexia who intentionally abuse laxatives to lose weight.
@@brienq Strange interpretation, cleaning does not mean harsh flushing out, cleaning is a gentle process. Just as fibre cleans the bowel, so Xylitol works too. Obviously, if you took too much it could have an adverse effect, just as eating too many oranges or whatever would do too.
@@brienqI have a history of IBS-D, and although sorbitol gives me the runs xylitol does not. I thought I read/heard somewhere that xylitol isnt considered to be high in FODMAPS (although it isn't on my FODMAP app, so perhaps Monash hasnt actually tested it yet).
@@haraldtheyounger5504 l
It does kill candida in the gut but will cause some bloating, gas, and diarrhea in the process
I loved this. I've used xylatol for years. I had to comment when you mentioned recurrent ear infections. Echinacea saved my son from surgery due to repeated ear infections. They ended once I started using a children's echinacea tincture.
As an adult, I get ear infections. I'll have to look into the echinacea tinctures. I keep a tincture of garlic olive oil in my refrigerator. Ironically, whenever I get a toothache or earache, I put a squirt in my ear, then hold it in with a cotton ball and a small piece of masking tape to keep it in my ear overnight. It works wonders. I have no idea if it is good for children. I make the oil myself by cutting garlic in to small pieces, then putting it into some olive oil. I strain out the chunks of garlic, then put the oil into a tincture.
What kind of mouthwash has been proven effective to prevent cavities
What brand is the Echinacea tincture?
My son self-medicated with garlic. Kept the little bubble like candy in an open dish. After repeat ear infections, the Swedish pediatrician gave me this treatment. Son was headed to Tubes in ears, but before he ears inflamed, he would start eating the bubbles of garlic and he never had another infection. He was just learning to walk when we began this habit
I’m so relieved this xylitol toothpaste I’ve been using on my daughter for 8 years is so beneficial to her . Her dad and I were just joking about how we couldn’t believe she had no cavities coming back from the dentist again. Unfortunately his parents spoil her and she eats quite poorly when she goes over there and it always worries us. Perhaps this xylitol has been saving her all the while.
Where did you get it?
Hi there how young was your daughter when starting the xylitol toothpaste? And what brand do you use?
I know you did not mention this, but some people who talk about the microbiome have said that listerine can reduce the variety of the microbiome. This is what put me off another dentist who has a dental routine that does uses various rinses including a listerine. I'm glad I saw your video because Im in my seventies and sometimes I think my gums can't handle what may be too vigorous flossing. I found this video to be really interesting.
This is Dr. Ellie and there is a lot of misinformation about Listerine. In the system I teach the Listerine is incorporated within as specific system - and the results are amazing. It is very encouraging to hear these young hygienists talking about xylitol. I began my xylitol company Zellies in the early 2000s - as a qualified dentist who was beside myself that so few people understood xylitol and its incredible dental benefits.
You may enjoy my book Mouth Care Comes Clean (Amazon) that explains more about the oral microbiome and the effect of xylitol and my system on oral health.
Dr Ellie recommends only one type of Listerine, alcohol free and pH balanced. If it has alcohol it will destroy the good bacteria as well as the bad.
Dr Ellie doesn’t recommend flossing. 😊
Thank You, This is one of the most informative and clearly explained presentations on this subject that I have heard.
I have only just heard of this. I live in England and Xylitol has never ever been mentioned by a dentist to me in all my years, or to my family. I am now in the process of ordering this dental/nasal miracle worker. Thank you so much
There is barely good Drs in the UK. All are robotic.
After brushing my teeth and rinsing at night I have a quick swish with water with a tsp of xylitol to coat my teeth and actually swallow it.
My recent dental cleaning was done by the dentist(having a hard tim finding hygienists) He was a bit grumpy as I always have a LOT of plaque. His solution was to insist I do not floss enough, and should buy a water pik. i am mildly annoyed as plaque has been a continuous life time problem and none of the usual solutions work. This is the FIRST logical alternative I have heard about and have ordered Xylitol gum will begin 5 gm a day to see how this works before the next cleaning.
I’d find a different dentist. Grumpy about doing his job is not acceptable. AND I’d guess that since he’s irritated, he’s not very gentle, either.
I’ve never had a cleaning hurt, until my last one. The hygienist was brutal. Next appointment...you can be sure that I will demand not having her. Even if it requires changing appt date or changing dentists.
With all the science behind the dangers of fluoride, I cannot believe dentists still promote it.
It’s rat poison!
Instead of flossing I use soft toothpicks…plastic…. after each meal…they massage the gums…and remove food…might work for you…next the Xylitol gum…
@@Goldencitygirl So interestingly although I have plaque/calculus buildup I have no receding gums or gum disease. Am thinking I just likely have a ph thats too acidic. And I have no trouble getting cleaning done between teeth with a bit of floss. So I am after the reduction of this plaque buildup so will first try the xylitol. Dr. Ellie Phillips has lots of videos on this subject as well and has promoted this for years. So this is definitely a growing thing.
Ionic toothbrush is also very benificial for plaque. I use dr Tung toothbrush
Yes. Dr.Elie Philllips added that xylitol helped women carry babies to teem
For some reason, I have been experiencing dry mouth and xylitol gum immediately increases my saliva and calms my saliva ph. I am going to try other products for the nasal passages.
I'm excited about this, I'm going to buy the rinse and toothpaste, this plaque is driving me crazy.
Love this info. Thanks.
Chewing can also gently strengthen tooth supporting bones and tissues.
Win win.
Thank you! I suffer from dry mouth at night and I accidentally stumbled across a product called XyliMelts. It adheres to the gum line and slowly dissolves during the night. My dentist had given me a prescription that was going to cost $800/mo out of pocket! Can’t do that on a fixed income! I’m going to look into the Spry products you suggested as I’ve suffered from sinus issues and allergies my entire life. Thank you for this information and I’m sharing your video!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Another great product to try for dry mouth and tooth remineralization is Basic Bites - which use arginine and calcium
That dentist saw you coming. What a rip off merchant and gangster. Why are all American dentists and Dr's such rip off merchants. So glad I live in Europe but having said that some of our dentists and Dr's are getting Americanized especially the ones that have gone on work experience to the USA
Thank you for mentioning the danger to dogs.
thank you sooo much from Canada! Just heard about xylitol today from Dr. Ellie Phillips and now you two. I always confirm new claims as there is alot of miracle products promoted on the internet and I see others sites I will check out too. I will mention your website to my dentist!!!
I happened to see a package in the health store today, it reads that you can replace sugar with it, but you have to add slowly so your system can get used to it.
Great podcast on xylitol. I have been using it as a sugar substitute for my diabetes over the last 12 months and noticed my gingivitis has stopped! I will add it to a saline rinse and now brush my teeth with it also!
Where can you purchase Xylitol?

Great video!! Just started on a xylitol routine, very excited about this info. Disappointed in my dentist though.
Started chewing 2 PUR after meals/snacks around 4 months ago.
Just noticed last week how clean my tongue is, and I dont scrape.
Good sign
Started putting xylitol crystals in my morning coffee recently and now find out it helps to absorb calcium. Love a latte.

Gives me loose bowels if I swallow it in quantity.
Hopefully helpful story. Heard about xylitol 10 + years ago, made some molasses cookies using it instead of sugar, made a double batch no regular sugar at all. When they were done and cooled I ate one, it was delicious and I ate 3 more. About an hour and a half later I was pretty much stuck to the locale of the bathroom for 2- 3 hours. The amount of xylitol, of which I had no prior experience, cleaned me out. Other than depleting my supply of TP, there were no long term ill effects. I have been making my own nasal spray for awhile now, and was very pleased to hear the many benefits involved in with it's use. Very curious to find out if the anti-plaquing of dental film carries over to other aspects of plaquing elsewhere in the body. Thanks so much for the info.
That's the only basic side effect
You'll never get constipated🤣
How do you make your own nasal spray? I d love to know the recipe please 😊
@@jeanetteshaw5177 I use an empty small saline bottle, purified water, and between 1/4 to 1/2 a teaspoon of xylitol. Shake it well. That's about it.
I tried it and it is wonderful. Teeth wither, bad breath gone, anti inflammatory, no dry mouth not even I the morning. It is a miraculous product
Rather than chewing gum can I add the granules to water and swill in my mouth like oil pulling?
Yes - with the goal of 3-4 exposures per day totaling 5-7 grams/day
Thank you! as a Head and neck cancer surviver, I have severe dental issues.floride seems to have failed as a prevention. I well try this route for a while. Keep up the great work.

Floride is bad for your health. Use floride free toothpaste that you can find in health food stores or online. God bless you.
Thanks for all the info
I bought xylitol a few months ago to use instead of sugar on top of some pastries I make, but my kids noticed the difference. When substituted for sugar in icing I also noticed a difference, it made it a bit lemony in taste. That is not to say - don't buy it, by all means do, but it tastes slightly different than sugar, but still better than stevia and it's white. Most people will not notice the difference, I think.
My kids also like minty toothpaste and they don't like sweet and jelly-type kind, so when I added xylitol to their minty tooth powder they noticed it's sweet so we've been using Italian remineralizing mint toothpaste for a few months but will try with the powder mixed in with xylitol again. I always use fluoride-free toothpaste for them since they were babies and toothpaste with xylitol in it, but they had some cavities still, so I think the amount of xylitol they put in this Polish Ziajka brand toothpaste wasn't enough, I don't know. That's why I try the Breylee tooth powder with mixed in xylitol. I don't mind using powdered xylitol on it own - put a tiny bit in my mouth and swish around after meals, I haven't tried that with my kids as I thought they will not like it.
So strange, isn't it, that my kids don't like what most kids prefer in toothpaste products. Especially my 8yo is a fan of mint. As toddlers, they were so obsessed with their white Ziajka toothpaste that they will not use ANY OTHER TOOTHPASTE AT ALL. I always had to buy in bulk and keep an eye to always order on time, or else they will not brush their teeth with anything else. Finally, they accepted Breylee tooth powder which is made with pearl essence and I think mint and xylitol as well but I no longer have an outer packaging, so don't know for sure as it is not written on a plastic jar what the ingredients are. I like this product a lot, it brightened my teeth, it lasts forever and it foams so well and I can add even more xylitol to it.
Keep it where dogs cannot get into it. Poison for dogs.
@@ediewall6360oh so like in the bathroom with the other toiletries. Great suggestion.
As a diabetic I use xylitol, I have been using it for many years. I haven’t had a cavity since I started using it apart from a tiny one that the dentist says is to small to fill. It may not be there anymore thinking about it. I haven’t noticed it for a while 😀
Which products do you use? Thanks
I use Lifestyle Xylitol I live in South Africa so you may not be able to find it where you are.
Good to know--just curious about whether you experienced any bloating/gas from xylitol. Dr. Ellie Phillips says not an issue unless sorbitol is used with it(Orbit gum does that) but pure xylitol does not. Your experience?
Cavities don't fix themselves.
Never does that happen.
@@judyrobinson2282 I haven’t had any problems but I only have one spoon in my drinks and a sprinkle when I have yoghurt. My daughters Mother in Law had a runny Tummy from it but she had four spoons in her tea . She drank quite a lot of tea 🙃
Would be very interesting to see how both a xylitol and boron protocol would interact and possibly complement one another.
Hey.
I supp with boron.
I make a toothpaste with xylitol, raw coconut oil, boron and bi carb
What is boron?
You most definitely convinced me that I need to start using xylitol for my toothcare regimen!
Great info, thanks
I just started using it; I mix a teaspoon of the crystals with a mouthful of water and swish it around my mouth for 15 min each morning, I also do a 15 min coconut swish each morning, before I clean my teeth.
Great info thank you. I’ve recently discovered xylitol and have been using it in the hope it will fix a tooth giving me grief. It was totally fine until my dentist replaced a deep filling that had fallen out. Wish I’d known about xylitol sooner - I would have left it. It is super sensitive to pressure and I’m concerned the nerve has been damaged by the filling procedure. I’d be grateful for any insights on what I can do about this….. it’s been three months of not being able to chew on that side properly.
Maybe try "oil pulling". I do this using coconut oil.
What about direct application to the receding gum areas below each tooth with a swab?
Please let me know if this works!
I actually bought xylitol from Birch tree. Not from corn!
Thanks 😀 awesome young ladies
Dr. Berg recently made a video concerning the use of Hydrogen Peroxide as a pre rinse and post rinse when brushing. He suggested 1 part HP to 3 parts water, however I prefer a 1 part HP with 2 parts water. Comments welcome. Will look for this gum in my area. Have been a dedicated flosser for years until I listened to E. Phillips. (2023) One side comment: Charissa Wood, I love your eyes;)
Makes sense since naturally occurring beneficial oral bacteria produce hydrogen peroxide to fight the harmful ones. There's a war on in our mouths and the average modern diet helps the invaders.
I am not in the dental field. This popped at the top of my list as a suggestion and I am so glad I watched you! Suggesting to my family and friends as well! Thank you for taking the time to research and make this video. Was there a suggesting for overcoming the gas and bloating?
If you check out Dr. Ellie Phillips here on RUclips she says that the intestinal bloating is not a problem unless the chewing gum etc has sorbitol added. I DEFINITELY cannot have that. But I haven't used pure xylitol in enough volume to know if it will cause that. Dr. Ellie has had no issues with her patients that use ONLY xylitol. Also the 5 gm dose/day is so low that I think think its likely to be a non issue. Going to give this a try.
I don't chew gum for more than 5 min because they all have that affect on me.
Another way you can use xylitol is "pulling". Traditionally (in Ayurveda) pulling was done with oil. Xylitol pulling is said to be even more effective (I've been doing it for a week, and my teeth certainly feel extremely clean from doing it, though too soon to know the outcome in terms of my gum disease). You put a teaspoon of granulated xylitol in your mouth and swish it throughout your mouth, pulling it between the teeth, for 10 minutes. Sometimes gargle for a bit during this time. Then spit it out, and some say after that to rinse your mouth. Less xylitol would be absorbed than from chewing gum and swallowing.
Good tip. I recently started to do a little rinse and then spit it out because I heard somewhere it is high in oxalic acid. I have a kidney issue recently. Not from xylitol.
I use it in my water pick then swich and spit then a little in my lemon tea
Which products? Thanks
We have to remember we create the culture we are in. When we continue to normalize sugar, alchohol & boys/men "just being boys/men" in every celebration or daily life...we are as a society creating the degradation of our lives. Older generations, especially who know better, need to stop undoing the good habits parents are trying so hard daily to instill in their kids.
It's up to each of us to normalize good behavior & habits, and stop condoning or perpetuating bad ones. 💞

Xylitol works very well in my morning smoothies.
Just three days ago I was diagnosed with periodontal disease. The other thing I researched is a connection between high blood pressure and perioditis. I've always had high BP for sometime but refuse to take medication. I will now buy Xylitol to help bring PD under control.
Update: had gp visit yesterday. Bp is perfect now??? A first for a long time .... haven't received Xylitol in the post yet. Maybe it was the Celtic salt/water gargle??
Zylitol was not a viable sugar substitute because, like sugar alcohals, it is not digestible and can create severe, powerful and uncomfortable bloating followed by diarrhea.
Thank You. Answers a lot of perplexing questions I’ve been having for a number of years now can’t wait to get started👍😊💖

green tea o'clock with xylitol, the name is cool too.
I have been recommending Xylitol to my patients for those with high Carie’s risk, recession, perio as well. I, myself don’t use F L U O R I D E. at home in my water or toothpaste but I have my family using xylitol gum after meals. I suggest no eating or drinking for at least 30 min after use.
Chewing xylitol gum is like working out for the muscles of the mouth, ears, and all over the head which has a great positive impacts on the health of teeth, gum, ears, eyes, skin of the face, the hair.
I don’t remember the name of the brand of echinacea I started with years ago but now I use St. Francis Herb Farm tinctures. It is a Canadian company. Through the years I have done research and I find it’s best to use a tincture that has both the angustifolia and the purpurea strains of echinacea. My family use it at the first sign of any illness.

I put it in everything but be advised it will give you the runs if you use more than a couple of tablespoons per day.
I have been alternating periodontist cleaning and dentist cleaning since 1999 every four months. The perio said back in 2000 the importance of chewing gun for my kind of periodontist disease. He said gum disease has a higher amount of different harmful bacteria than the average person. I have chewed gum with Xylitol ever since and still keep my appointments.
Has your perio been stable for the last 2 decades?

Keep in hidden and save in a cupboard
Since about 20% of the population has irritable bowel (IBS) can anyone who has IBS give feedback about how xylitol might have impacted this condition by causing increased gas, bloating, or diarrhea? Many IBS sufferers have to avoid FODMAPS foods which includes indigestible polyols like xylitol, but each polyol (sorbitol, erythritol, mannitol, xylitol) can have varying degrees of digestibility or the ability to be absorbed. For example, erythritol is well absorbed for most people up to 30 or so grams.
Update: the dosage is pretty high to be laxative, i.e., above 20 g and more like 50 g, though some people can be sensitive to lower doses if they ingest other polyols or simple sugars . The 6 to 7 g a day for dental health doesn't sound like it should be a problem. "When ingested at high doses, xylitol and other polyols may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, including flatulence, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (see Metabolism above); some people experience the adverse effects at lower doses.Xylitol has a lower laxation threshold than some sugar alcohols but is more easily tolerated than mannitol and sorbitol.
When chewing gum, after each meal, I can’t help but think it helps remove gunk, in our teeth, if we aren’t brushing after the meal. Few brush after every meal. I would think the gum helps get the bits out.
Will the spry mints be just as effective?
For me chewing gum besides dental benefits it also help me with stress management and food digestion ( I have low acid concentration in stomach).
I think it’s smart to check the studies which found that xylitol is harmful for your gut biome and use very little to none of that stuff. Andrew Huberman also reported on that ;-)
Nano Hydroxyapatite for remineralizing ?
Yes - look into Boca toothpaste and Basic Bites as well!
I have lifelong IBS. I can't use xylitol because it ends in gas, bloating, pain and diarrhea. If it's in toothpaste and I don't swallow it I might be ok.
Are you using gum or something that contains aspartame? That’s usually the culprit, not xylitol. I think sorbitol is bad for bloating as well.
@@sugarplumk2381 All of the sugar alcohols do this. Xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, etc. They are indigestible and lead to gut bloating.
@@bichu232 Xylitol isn't sugar, it's a sugar alcohol. It doesn't respond to the sucrase in saliva.
Thanks for the very informative video. Can you confirm that Xylitol doesn't interfere with the production of nitric oxide in the mouth? Nitric oxide has been proven to reduce hypertension and to encourage the production of this gas I have cut out fluoride, mouthwashes and antacids which interfere with the process. Dr Nathan Bryan is an expert on NO and there are a number of interviews with him on RUclips. Hope you can advise.
A Great video! Thank you!
Unfortunately Xylitol gives me a splitting headache. 😮
Maybe just swish in your mouth and spit it out?
Odd..since there is naturally accruing Xylitol in the body …a small amount according to this video…
Thanks for mentioning this. I have migraines and will order a small sample before going all in to see what happens. (Lots of “natural” stuff can trigger headaches).
Wow. It never occurred to me that the xylitol oral health products I just recently got, could be what’s giving me these headaches!
I never used Xylitol before and it’s been under 2 weeks that I just started using the Xylitol toothpaste (2x day), Xylitol mints which are very tiny a couple x’s per day, and the Xylitol chewing gum 1x per day.
I’m sure it’s just trace amounts that get absorbed through the mouth, but as far as headaches go, I wouldn’t be surprised that it takes very little to trigger a headache or migraine.
Thank you!😀
You are 3rd or 4th medical professional to cosign and educate on Xylitol! I WANT TO TRY IT. Do you have a website to purchase the dental items like gum?
Amazon
I got everything on Amazon.

Just brush youd teeth with it, mix it up in your waterpic, put a teas in your mouth of it & switch it around after every meal
Thanks for the video, lot of useful information. Can we use just any type of xylitol or should we avoid xylitol made from corn?
I believe it should be 100% xylitol from birch trees, not corn
I just bought corn . I trust it will be fine. I like it’s American made. Will purchase birch next time. What are your thoughts with the corn vs birch xylitol?
@@wardf727why?
I have nerve pain in mij hole face and my experience is that fluoride is a trigger for the nerves, and therefore can’t be good.
Floride a BIG NO for me!
Absolutely. It's a poison and a disgrace that dentists recommend it.
It's an industrial poison promoted for public use to dumb down humanity's spiritual growth/intuitive gifts.
It's in all probability in the water you drink and in the water you shower and bath in.
NO fluoride for me
I agree. I use a new innovative fluoride-free toothpaste called Eucellus
I think most mass produced xylitol comes from corn? Not trusting it 100% yet. Maybe for oral health but a bit nervous about taking internally for long periods. Especially with gut issues.
Like everything else, you need to get it from a good source...I'm looking into that now...
Birch tree
Another "enemy" of the teeth is acid reflux which can really be a problem. Brittany, please sit STILL!
Yes agree, the chair spinning is so ...please stop !
Good stuff- thanks
Thank you for this 🙏 I just saw the video and subscribed. I have periodontitis and can now see the root of 5 out of my 6 frontal bottom teeth as my gum there is really thin! I think from traumatic brushing.
I have heard in the video that Xylitol can help with the periodontal bacteria. Could it help to thicken/regrow the gum? Is it too late?
I was looking for the other podcast with Laura Hopper about the periodontal issues and use of Xylitol, referred to in this video, but I couldn’t find it. Could you please indicate where I can find it? Thank you so much 🙏🌹
Hi! The Lora Hooper podcasts are below as "replies" to this comment. Thank you for listening!

@@bulletproofhygiene thank you! Much appreciated!🌸
Dr Ellie Phillips has a video on regrowing gum and it includes using xylitol
Well, how does xylitol affect the enzymes / bacteria in your nasal passages, that contribute to the production of Nitrous Oxide?
Xylitol is deadly to dogs!! I lost my 60lb boxer after he ate only half a pack of gum. I get that it's a useful product, but it should come with a warning!
I am sorry for your loss. Peanut butter with xylitol has killed many dogs. There are not warnings out there. We must self educate and share with others. There are no warnings on grapes either. Grapes create kidney disease in dogs, slowly over time. I had one die of this. Horrible. And vets are poisoning pets withnvaccines!!,
Did you have an autopsy done or nah
We lost our amazing Healer to xylitol also😩😢
@showbread9366 no need to. He had a seizure around 30 minutes after eating the gum. Took him to the emergency vet and they treated him for the sudden drop in his blood sugar caused by the xylitol. Over the next 36 hours I paid over $6000 for him to have multiple plasma transfers but ultimately we couldn't save him. This was 100% a result of him getting into that gum. And since the majority of xylitol is present in the coating of the gum, inducing vomiting would have done nothing because it had already been absorbed. Xylitol is a DEADLY product that should come with a WARNING!!!!
i knew about xylatol. 20 years ago in finland its given to children in tablet form after lunch , to prevent toothdecay i also use it as a sweatner in pies ie apple crumble with 50% sugar so that i keep my family weight down . its made from birch tree syrop just like maple syrop the mystery is over , if u go to the forest with the right implements u could get it for free , it is rather expensive to replace sweet.....
Help what is a good brand to use
Great info!!
👍🤗👍
