I cut out sugar, started chewing xylitol gum, reversed 9+ cavities. I’ll stick with it.

I can see why the producers of sugar, sucralose, and aspartame would promote “studies” such as these

I am always skeptical of studies that go after sugar substitutes simply because of how much power the sugar industry has. They are a modern day mafia and will do anything to crush any sort of competition.

Moral of the story: crappy labs produce crappy studies, and will continue doing so.

Well since I started brushing with xylitol toothpaste I don'y have any plaque or cavities so probably big dentistry behind this study!

makes me want to study their funding and any other conflict of interest they might have.

I've been using xylitol toothpast and gum for years with no issues. I used to have very sensitive teeth and xylitol has reversed it. Glad to hear these studies are much ado about nothing

Just got some xylitol gum for anti cavity.

Thank you so much for putting this video out, Thomas. I've been waiting for someone to debunk their highly flawed "study".

It sucks that we can't take studies based purely on the science. When I read a study, the first thing I look at is where did the funding come from. Always follow the money!!

I want more studies into Allulose.

I love xylitol and erythritol! I know some folks can't tolerate them, but They've been a huge benefit to me and I haven't had any adverse effects. In fact, they have been key in helping prevent medical issues for me bc I don't have a colon and am prone to intestinal blockages, and consuming these have helped prevent them from occurring so frequently, as it helps the food move along. Xylitol gym also has helped my digestion, chronic dry mouth, and cavity prevention, as well as helping my tmj bc it prevents me from grinding and clenching my jaw/teeth. Ugh, I wish studies weren't so misleading

Last year Erythritol, this year Xylitol...Sugar Industry working overtime I see. Not Changing anything and I'm never going back to Sugar regardless. 2025 it will be: "Allulose Is The Worst Thing Ever", 2026: "Monk Fruit Sweetener Could Make Your Arm Fall Off" 🤣

People need to watch the video to get the point.

Best thing for any dental issues- have been using it for years instead of listerine, which is a poison

Good info thanks for sharing Thomas

thank you for this! been waiting to hear from doctors on this xylitol study

Thanks!!! I was so looking forward to you reviewing this "study". I KNEW IT!!! 😅💪

I am in early 50s, I was experiencing heart palpitations while just going on simple walks. While I am naturally slender, I have high blood pressure (thanks to extreme Atkins diet 10 years ago) and I kept going to a doctor trying to figure out what was causing the heart palpitations I have OCD where I would just keep popping xylitol gum whenever I was stressed, like I would need that "crunch" of the gum shell, spit out, pop another one, pretty much unaware I was doing it (once I realized, I would stop) . I could easily go through 25+ pieces of gum in an hour and half (so like +/- 30 grams) After trying many things to change diet / etc to see if I could affect the heart palpitations, I researched everything I was daily using, and found out about xylitol side effects. I stopped chewing all xylitol gum altogether, and the palpitations are now gone and have not come back (even when Im stressed!), no other real diet or lifestyle changes . So for me, I was definitely seeing a cause and effect with over-consuming xylitol. The other people in my household do not over consume xylitol (just a few pieces all day), and they obviously do not have the problem I had

So does this mean both erythritol and xylitol can be used as markers for increased risk of a cardiovascular event? If so, seems the study has some value after all. Might be an even better indicator than LDL levels.

Thank you Thomas 🔥

Xylitol is good at killing/squelching harmful bacteria in your mouth without harming beneficial bacteria. For mouthwash.

Thomas thank you for examining this study. Very much appreciate your work and continued effort to share information. Best to you an yours

I stopped using both xylitol and erythritol as sweeteners years ago, because I developed violent physical reactions to both. Using erythritol to sweeten my tea started okay, then quickly changed to extreme, watery, bowel dumping, then progressed frighteningly to a more powerful whole body reaction, similar to having swallowed poison. I stopped using erythritol immediately. Again, using erythritol started off okay, then very quickly my body could no longer tolerate it. Almost a year after I stopped using erythritol, the study you cite appeared warning of its dangers. I had stopped trying to use xylitol as a sweetener a couple of decades ago for similar reasons. Now, I avoid them both. But, that’s just me. I’ve not read of others having similar violent reactions to either sweetener. Thank you for the information.

CAN ANYONE recommend a safe gum or mint option out there?

There are so many good sweeteners on the market like stevia, monk fruit and Allulose.

Thank you for this.

Thank you 💜 I've been using xylitol for dental care and got scared for a minute 😅

Why aren't you discussing where the Xylitol is derived from? Some xylitol is derived from corn others are derived from birch would which is grain free? Please clarify the difference. The substances that foods are derived from does matter in my opinion.

I bought some xylitol the other day. I must've bought it for a reason. Ignore the negatives of it. Perhaps it has long term benefits?

Any studies on anything else that might have increased strokes and heart attacks last few years? Anything?

Now what gum is safe to chew?

What about allulose ?

What make / model is that microphone that you use for videos? I want to get one for myself.

1/8 teaspoon of xylitol after each meal keeps the dentist away. 😊

Thanks for the information! I always wonder who paid for the study! Follow the money! I'm a 'study' skeptic! This didn't say anything about erythritol.

Xylitol kills dogs. Never would have it in my house because of that. Ive come to the conclusion that all these sweeteners aren’t worth the risk. I’ll use some honey if I need something sweet.

great video...knowledge

Xylitol is very healthy. I chew the xylichew gum for years, it's great for your teeth. I also use organic maple syrup.😊

Whats the vibe on monk fruit?

Does this include Xylitol in Toothpaste & used only as mouth wash or is it only just for Xylitol that people swallow as sweeteners in beverages? or both? As I never use it as sweetener. Only in toothpaste and mouthwash. I never swallow it. Thank you.

Thanks so much for sharing. I put xylitol in my coffee in the AM, and my dentists asked why my gums were so healthy. I said xyletol sweetner, and he had no idea it was a sweetner.

I know this isn't diet related, but is there any truth to Xylitol combating cavities?

1gram = 1/4 of a teaspoon. (Unless I am mistaken, which I may be) So would it be that hard to be close to 30 grams (which is considered a high dose) in a day if I am using it as a sugar replacement?!

Why not stick to stevia instead? Isn't that the best option?

I literally popped in 3 pieces of that thumbnail for mentos gum.. before the video started. Can't wait to hear...

The sugar industry coming after these substitutes is how it seems

So xylitol is okay for my oral care routine then?

Skeptical.....who did the study ? Dig deeper.

Everyone wants to know what you do for water filtration, water types, and hydration? Especially what the studies have shown about hydrogen water and those hydrogen water conversion bottles. This is probably one of the most important things that we all want to know. Is water! Many Blessings and Great Hope 💞

Thats why I don't take 'scientific research' seriously anymore.

Thomas, before I evaluated ANY study on xylitol, I would want to know the source of the xylitol and have the study designed to account for that variable. The reason for this is that xylitol made in the USA is made from, birch trees and the quality is much better than the junk from China which is contaminated with processing chemicals.

How about allulose?

where is their money from?

🤔 * Cleveland Clinic Study Finds Common Artificial Sweetener Linked to Higher Rates of Heart Attack and Stroke. *Is Erythritol inside LMNT stevia leaf extract?*

Is this video a rerun?

I'm going with artificial sweeteners almost in every case. Coke Zero 0g sugar, Coke 39g sugar. One exception I make is Fairlife milk with 6g sugar because I've always liked milk and drink a glass almost every morning.

Chewing it and ingesting it are different no?

Dr Ellie Phillips (dentist) recommends xylitol as part of her complete mouthcare system. She also mentions that in the amounts she recommends, it also has other benefits. There is more to her system than xylitol, but it is certainly worth a search on youtube. Recommended.

Where did the funding come from?

I use Himalayan Botanique Xylitol toothpaste and dip the toothbrush in xylitol crystals… and it’s the most refreshing teeth brushing I’ve ever experienced.. I don’t swallow the stuff though.

Sorry but I can't have sugar at all without causing severe intestinal distress and nausea. I am already a 4 strokes in 90 seconds survivor at 39 in 2011. I am going to keep using what gives me sweetness without making me sick.

ALSO, many people consuming sugar substitutes are already struggling with other conditions, like obesity, that heighten the potential for cardiac events. Those individuals should have been excluded or the contradictions considered/included.

It ALL comes down to balance; so-called “experts” can not agree on anything. Everyone seems to have an opinion and they are all over the map; overdoing anything can be problematic, however, a “measured” lifestyle is not only physically but mentally beneficial. I am always quite skeptical of people with all or nothing approaches to life.

Probably a different type of sweetener but since quitting booze I drink a lot of Coke Zero / caffeine & sugar free coke in the weekend. The latter makes me feel mildly hungover the next day if I have more than 4 cans. So something in there isn’t good

Study probably done by dentists who don't want to lose customers.

I stopped using my toothpaste, gum with Xylitol that benefits oral health. And also stopped using XClear nasal spray which I used to use before going out to public places since C19. I wish there was a definitive way to make sure they are safe but for now I’m too afraid to use them

So looking through the comments and piecing together a picture. That picture is that Xylitol is great for the teeth, but not for the good gut biome. So using it as a sweetener is riskier and using it as a toothpaste is beneficial.

Why all of a sudden are sugar alternatives getting linked to bad outcomes?

Well, I avoid xylitol for other reasons - can’t digest it well and I have a dog (xylitol is highly toxic for them).

Thank you Thomas! I take Xylitol in my toothpaste & mouthwash, and even occasionally take Xylitol mints, all for dental health. I have pretty good and easy teeth cleanings, partly due to using the above, and partly due to my Ketovore diet. Sounds like the Sugar growers & manufactures are hurting because more people are going low-carb and limiting sweets for better health.

I might have come to the opposite conclusion, if the body produces more of it to get rid of excess glucose--wouldn't it be more like a possible supplement? Maybe.. I personally don't like it because of digestion issues and the after taste reminds me of mint. Probably why its perfect for gum and toothpaste.

I use a lot of xylitol to sweeten my drinks so I’m a bit worried. I wish there was a REAL study

I’ve been consuming Xylitol for at least 15 yrs consistently in my toothpaste, at the very least. Zero issues. I’m metabolically healthy in general. When I first saw this new study my BS meter went off. “Trust the science”, everyone. 🙄 At a minimum, Xylitol is excellent for dental health & IMO that is such small application in one’s daily life.

Ohh xylitol is the culprit for all the young casualties recently?! Yes of course 🤥

I get heart palpatations after chewing xylitol gum. It makes me feel very tired. So Im probably not gonna chew it any more. I'll miss it 🤷‍♀️

Since I started using xylitol nicotine mints, I have not had a toothache, my cavities have hardened up… I am 56 years old, and am not kidding. I tried many things… oil pulling, baking soda, clove oil, iodine…their affects are negligible. This actually solved more problems than I ever expected, or would have believed.

How about for people that use nic nac naturals nicotine? It’s sweetened with xylitol. It’s completely helped whiten and fix my breath. Even get rid of plaque

When ever I have something with it I get stomach issues. I can’t use that stuff!

When "they" tell you that something is bad for you, then it's really good for you, and vise versa.

I take 10 gm of xytlitol mint for dental health. Because of plaque went with three cleaning per for years and now I have one cleaning per year.

Xylitol gum or mints for oral biome are very important for heart health but I don’t use it for a sweetener. Erithrytol is a way different story for me tho, makes me jittery and leg pain at night

Xylitol at large amounts isn’t ideal for me, I get really bad bloating and gas and diarrhea. So I’ve had to quit gum. But I was chewing an ungodly amount it helped me restrict further with anorexia. But in small amounts it seems great

Follow the money

i wonder why people dont use allulose when it is said it doesnt spike glucose at all... that must like a boon to many lol. xylitol is amazing for dental health, but it still spikes glucose.... i think

Allulose is the only safe sugar alternative.

I spray xylitol up my nose with Xlear.

Thomas is that customer at the restaurant that waitresses are terrified of serving.

I am wary of any food that is hydrogenated. Xylitol is my favorite sweetener but I do not use it for now until I know more about hydrogenated edibles.

Blaming Xylitol and Erythritol instead of checking if it was the Clot Shot.

I used Xylitol and Erythritol for a while but gave them up because they gave me a belly ache, tasted Rubbish & too Expensive, I don't need any sweetener at all now after Year's of 2 Sugar's in Tea & Coffee ☺️ ❤ x

Xylitol in larger doses, as in baking, as in substituting it 1:1 for regular sucrose sugar, can increase incidence of GOUT up to 800%. It happened to me.

I won't even have Xylitol in the house since it's highly poisonous to dogs!

I’m not going to stop chewing my xylitol gum or using Xlear nasal spray. The benefits are too good.

Interesting........

I saw a well known doctor debunk that study.

Consider the source ....years ago they said fat was the enemy so everybody went low fat and got FAT. They said eggs were bad ... Mass Marketing have money motives so dig deeper to find the truth buried. I like the studies and material referrenced to cite the source. I appreciate his shared interest for our benefit👌🏼😎

we use xylitol for the last 20 yrs with good health

When you're wondering about the attack on certain products, find out who funded the study. Medical research in the US has a long track record of figuring out how to provide a predetermined outcome the people funding the study want.

"Big sugar"? More like "BIG high fructose corn syrup."
