Comment on THE BITTER BATTLE OVER SWEETENERS by ruthwinter

XYLITOL • Formerly made from birch wood, but now made from waste products from the pulp industry. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including various berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms. It can be extracted from corn fiber birch, raspberries, plums, and corn. Xylitol is roughly as sweet as sucrose but with only two-thirds thecalories. Xylitol has been reported to have diuretic effect but this has not been substantiated. It is used in chewing gum and as an artificial sweetener. It has been reported to sharply reduce cavities in teeth but costs more than sugar. The reason is that, unlike sugar, it doesn’t ferment in the mouth. Therefore, it is sold for foods that stay in the mouth for some time, such as gum, toffee, and mints. FDA preliminary reports cited it as a possible cancer-causing additive. Xylitol is now used in eleven European countries and the United States and Canada. It is also used in large amounts in the former Soviet Union as a diabetic sweetener. Xylitol was evaluated by JECFA (see) in Geneva, April 11–20, 1983. On the basis of submitted data, the committee accepted that the adverse effects observed in British studies, in which cancer-prone rats were fed large doses of xylitol, were species-specific and could not be extrapolated to humans. Therefore, no limit on daily intake was set and, no additional toxicological studies were recommended. It can cause stomach upsets when taken in large amounts. It may be of benefit to diabetics since xylitol metabolization does not involve insulin. ASP. E

Did you by any chance keep the container? If so, you could report it to your state board of health or the FDA. I have the address in the A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients book which I think your library probably has. As far as online, Amazon has it and you could either connect to them or tell your students to go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble online and get the book.

Good luck,

I don’t know whether my last message got through to you or no because my word is acting up,…but I think I
I’ve written about botox before but where or when I don’t remember. I do remember that if someone wants a botox injection, they have to choose their doctor carefully…it shouldn’t be done by anyone else and the doctor should have experience injecting it. There are sometimes side-effects. You can look them up under google. Just put botox in the google space and then choose either drugs or medscape or another reliable source.

good luck,

Ruth

Thanks. I had a similar experience. I bought the store label unbleached flour and when I got it home and opened it, it smelled like chlorine. I took it back and, of course, the store manager apologized over and over again and I received a store coupon but Inever bought that flour again. I appreciate your using my book.

Sincerely,

Ruth Winter

I think you can contact Amazon and if you have a website and you put the book’s cover on your website through Amazon, you will get a percentage from Amazon when people buy the book through your site. The other idea–if you contact Crown Publishers in New York and say you want to buy some books wholesale, they may try to give you a deal. Good luck and thank you for your interest. I just found your comment on Word Press.

I recently purchased Lily of the Desert whole leaf alove vera from Whole Foods. i didn’t notice that the seal was missing until I had take a big swallow. I immediately started burping what smelled like raid. I let the store know and they sent me a gift card for the purchase. I’m more concerned with what I injested although know one the seemed to know or be concerned with finding out.

I also teach people how to shop and use your book as part of my program to exercise their kitchen. My book tends to disappear like a pen from the bank. How can I offer your book as part of my program? it’s starting to grt expensive replacing fro the book store. Is there a way for me to offer online to my clients?
