December 14, 2012 - Who Knew?

Good morning, How about that meteor shower last night? Any one see anything majestic? God is so good to allow us to see a few of the wonders that I am sure entertain him daily. :) I have been doing some additional research on xylitol. In addition to bringing health to your gums and teeth (mine have done a 180 degree turn around), one article reported that many are using xylitol with their neti pots and nasal solutions and are seeing great results with chronic sinus infections. Other people who are using xylitol in their everyday lives and are seeing a dramatic DECREASE in asthma and respiratory infections. WOW! My grand daughter suffers from winter asthma and I thought she had not had a bought because she was thinner, but I wonder if it's the xylitol???? She normally misses a good number of days each school year. She has not this year. :) I don't know - but this is certainly worth keeping our eyes on. However, the pharmaceutical companies would never verify this to be true. Could you imagine the cost to them? YIKES! But what a healthy gift for us. :) I love it - a natural sugar replacement that allows us to bake and enjoy our yummies while keeping our gums, nasal passages and lungs healthier. What could be better? Merry Christmas to US! If you find any coolness about the xylitol, pass it along. Talk to you Monday. PK
