From what I've heard, xylitol has pathogen-killing properties, so it should be introduced (to humans) gradually, as it can cause herxes. A large amount, as in a complete sugar replacement in a recipe, can cause stomach upset in some people. On the other hand, it's a great additive to topical lotions, great for teeth, and after ramping up a while, a wonderful sweetener, without the problems of artificial sweeteners.

Be well,

I have read that xylitol is very dangerous to dogs and that a couple of pieces of gum with xylitol is enough to severely poison them. I have some at home I have been going to try but haven't yet.

I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard it should be mixed with Xylitol first. I use it with a nasal spray but I don’t bother with Xylitol, I just spray it direct.

Anyone try this? Any potential safety issues? Might be a nice way to clear out the sinuses.
