I trust all papers that supports my prejudices.
It’s my preference too.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
thats basically law n.1 almost every youtuber, they dont even know that.
@@rm6857But how do YOU know...? 🤔
A new study links breathing to sudden death. The patients were breathing right before they died. Time to write a bunch of clickbait articles.
I have even heard that people that got murdered died. But this is of course too much for the scientists to handle! Where is the government?
Hahaha! Good one!
lol
Only humans, could use xylitol..dont give to non humans
Don’t forget-Trees cause cancer. I swear one of these days they’ll say that.
I've been sweetening my daily oatmeal with xylitol for the last 10 years and my cardiovascular haelth is excellent. There should be a study that compares it with sugar and it's effect on cardiovascular health.
Xylitol heals dental caries and improves gut flora. It would seem very unlikely that it causes heart attacks.
No! The sugar industry has been coming out against alternative natural sugars like this erythritol, stevia, etc. It’s baloney!
Been doing this forever.
not baloney at all!!! it's artificial sweeteners lol
This study was released in my country a couple of weeks ago. It smelled BS right away. In other words: my 1st thought was about the sugar industry then the otal health industry.
Just sayin'...
No, bad bacteria in your mouth can cause heart attacks - and many other issues!
@@richardjacobs7632 of course it is. I use xylitol because its recommended by a dentist!
@@RagdyAndystevia is natural. I grow it.
Thumbs up for manning up, taking responsibility for your mistakes and playing Run to the Hills.
I just learned about xylitol and dental health and appreciate this additional review. I'll keep taking xylitol as a cost effective way of saving on dental bills.
Big sugar hates xylitol, it's taking the profits from their high fructose corn syrup monopolies
when i was young, i eat a lot of table sugar, put them in everything, drinks, bread, etc. and then i lady came.and.told.me.if u must eat sugar, eat xylitol.and it tasted better than table sugar, for 30 years i use Xylitol, no cavities, and my health is excellent.
I was using xylitol mouthwash and toothpaste while listening to this 😁
But you're not ingesting them. Big difference.
@@andreah6379 that was the joke
Ive switched to doing this
@@feefee2 I love it. They really work. Inexpensive and effective.
30g dose is insane. A singular xylitol gum pillow is like 0.5g
My Pur gum checks in at 3g/piece.
@@detocquevi11eThose are the jumbo Pur. Regular Pur are 1 gm per piece.
The Spry mints I use are 0.5 g each
@@incensejunkie7516 True, but the jumbo sized (and honestly they aren't that big) variety are the only ones that come in fruit flavor that I can find - I can't do mint due to having AERD. Yes. I'm weird like that. I do typically bite them in half anyway, but I was just pointing out that 30g/day isn't an insane amount, especially if you're a person also eating candy or nutrition bars flavored with it.
@@detocquevi11e I understand where you're coming from.
I prefer the fruit flavours myself. I found the individual PUR strawberry and the grape in the regular size at Winners in Canada, for what it's worth. I'm sure it can be found elsewhere.
"That's because they suffered massive coronary heart attacks, and died...!" I legitimately laughed out loud at that one 😂😂😂
He had me on that for just a split second. I think I blurted out, "Wut?!" and then saw his grin. 😁
That was a good laugh!

I will keep chewing my xylitol gum. Not only for oral hygiene purposes, but, it also helps me digest after a heavy meal and stay more focused when I exercise. I also mix it with my coconut oil pulling in the morning (not injesting).
Xylitol has been very popular here in Finland for a long time. I've been chewing xylitol gum since I was a little kid in the 80s, and I still use it daily. I've never experienced any heart problems.
I didn't throw my xylitol gum in the trash -- and hence didn't need to retrieve it -- but I did look at the package and each piece of gum contains around 1g of "sugar alcohol", and the only sugar alcohol in it is xylitol. Assuming the test subjects peaked at 800μM and assuming that the peak value is proportional to the dose (yes, it's a big assumption, but the study didn't measure dose response), then the 1g of xylitol in the average piece of gum would be just under the 30μM threshold where there is increased concern. Even if the study results are borne out, it seems that a few pieces of xylitol gum separated by at least a few hours would pose only minimal risk, at least to a healthy person.
@@photo200 Given my daily consumption of xylitol since childhood, by these standards, I’ve been technically 'dead' for the past 28 years. As an engineer, I can assure you my math checks out - but fortunately, reality disagrees. 😅
That's crazy I'm in USA & you cant even buy Xylitol gum in the stores. They offer trident w/ Xylitol in it but it also has aspartame in it. I haven't checked to see if the health food stores carry it but as of now I have to order it online. You can't even buy a quality toothbrush in store in America. To think I was raised to believe that America is the greatest country on earth, I've really been doubting that lately. 🙋♀️@@Kadotus
@@jackiemcdonell1737You can buy Dr Zellie’s gum or mints at Wegman’s. It’s a great oral hygiene protocol after a heavy carb meal.
You should check out Dr. Ellie Phillips, she is a big proponent of xylitol, and has been using it for decades way before it was ever popular. She seems to be a wealth knowledge on the subject of it.
She says, it could heal esrly cavities, and slightly chipped teeth
I found out, it keeps mosquitoes away☺️as well
@@kathleenking47 wow maybe that’s why I’m not getting bit this year :-)
I use her protocols and have no plaque buildup.
I started following her protocol about a month ago. So far one cavity has healed 50%. Also, my two front teeth used to be partly see-through halfway up. One is no longer see-through at all, the other had a tiny sliver left at the bottom that's see-through. That means my teeth are re-mineralizing.
@@cindykq8086 that is awesome👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
I'm currently working on a video on these two studies in particular. My thesis is since the fasted blood levels of the sugar alcohols are going to be highly dependent on their pharmacokinetics, then the hydration rates and the renal clearance will play an enormous role on their concentrations. Dehydration and improper kidney function will certainly be correlated to increase cardiovascular risk which may account for some if not all of the increase risk seen with the sugar alcohols
For sure, it's the redistribution of water that is increasing clotting (thickens). Xylitol pulls water from your gut. Just makes sense. Drink more water when you use it.
Funded by big sugar?
Probably. Just like I bet all those articles lately screaming about fake meats increasing CVE risk were funded by big meat, because “fake meat” was waaaaaaay at the bottom of the list of things that were found to “possibly” increase CVE risk and the risk was minute. But instead of the articles mentioning all the other things higher on the list, they choose to focus only on fake meats. Hmm.
Something like that, I'm sure.
Or..BIG DENTISTRY?🤔
Dentists are expensive
C&H?
Surely Big Elon Musk instead ;-)
Representatives of big birch tree, and big corn cob are lurking.
I coincidentally started chewing larch tree resin/gum just a couple weeks ago. It smells like a freshly cut stack of 2x4s at the lumberyard, which I find pleasurable, but not typically associated with my gum chewing habits.
Ok, I took my Xylitol gum out of the trash. :)
It only dangerous for non humans
Keep in mind 30 grams equals 7.2 teaspoons
It really depends if you are on the moon, or, elsewhere.
Thank you, I was wondering about that.
Everything will stop your heart except ....toxic spike proteins
Shhh!! That's the Elephant in the room. Nothing to see here, now move on, (says YT).
Xylitol is supposed to activate Nitric Oxide in saliva, promoting better gum and tooth health.
love it for my teeth.. I bought candy, tooth paste, a bag of Xylitol, but my mom gets takicardia and I feel sick after a week or so using it. I wish it wasn't so.
Increased nitric oxide increases cardiovascular health
If I consume any of it, my gums will swell and bleed.
I chew it all the time and I am perfect
I chew the gum, use the toothpaste and mouthwash and my 2 cavities are gone! Took 4 months.
This study may funded by sugar factories lobby
Journals: "We are completely corrupt and even publish fake papers written by AI."
I used to get chest pains after eating snack bars with sugar alcohols. That was 20 years ago. I of course stopped eating them.
Same here! Especially with erythritol.
Thanks a ton for making this!
"No one" eats 30 grams at once. I have 2 grams a day in the evening after brushing. I remember the person in Australia years ago who drank a gallon of milk a day. He calcified his tissues. Therefore no one should drink milk.
I do agree chances are unless if everything you have uses it, the likely prestomach value is under 10g.
It doesn't have to be at once, it can be over a number of hours.
That would be like saying "no one eats 30g of sugar at once" tons of people do, and when they replace the sugar with xylitol they are going to eat 30g of xylitol.
wrong. Just look at some of the sugar-free keto products in supermarkets (e.g. ice cream, soda). most aren't sweetened with xylitol,but for those products that are, it's not that hard to consume 30 grams
Xylitol was suppose to be good for teeth! Sugar is far worse for the healthy body! Where are the studies on that and why isn’t it being touted all over the media!
Its great, for teeth & gums
It raises pH of saliva
Maybe spitting out the saliva while chewing gum will be better?
Unless you refine your product search, chewing gum that have it still have things like light amounts of dextrose and an actual poison like aspartame.
It amazes me people still use aspertame. I've known since the 80's that it causes cancer and tons of other issues. @@frankenz66
So xylithol in the blood may cause more clotting in the short term but that's based on observations of subjects with too many conditions (and medications) to account for. Other studies show mixed results. We don't yet know what xylothol does when consumed over the long term. More studies are needed.
Is that an accurate summary?
Like all alcohols it can only be digested/processed by the liver. I treat them all the same as beer/wine. They cause the same issues, (alcohol sugar, the -ol's, it's in the name), Just don't. Forget the heart disease for now; it contributes to non alcoholic fatty liver. Given the choice I'd best case choose none, however real sugar is far better as the whole body can use it.
Only humans, could use it..
It keeps mosquitoes away, and ideal for oral hralth:
Teeth & gums
The sap from birch trees has been used as a tonic is Scandinavian countries for centuries.
You did it! I thank you very much for your coverage of this topic- I was waiting for your analysis and I am very grateful for it. I take about 2-3 grams about 4 times a week so I think *hope* that I should be just fine. Time and more studies will tell I guess. Thank you again!!!
“30g of xylitol” turned my stomach
I must be be very sensitive to all these sweeteners , they cause stomach problems.
You are an excellent writer and presenter. Thanks for all the great content
Thank you :)
Your humor is appreciated.
I didn't toss my X gum or toothpaste because I think the 30 grams in the study is super high, as compared to real life usage.
The sound on your channel is amazingly good. How do you do it with no visible mike? Your accurate pronunciation is a blessing to my older ears. Did you study theater?
I was waiting for this one 🙏
Only Nick can make chewing gum interesting. All the best. Keep up the good work.
While it is hard enough for the lay person to translate the strength and reliability of these types of studies into action, it's only half the battle. Xylitol has documented dental and digestive benefits. Perhaps a video on how to weigh uncertain science that points to negative effects with perhaps more certain science on positive effects. Covering things like magnitude of effect, reliability of data, and how to mash these together across multiple studies to get a reasoned course of action would be great.
Antibiotics have dental and digestive benefits.
Zylotol is really dangerous for small animals. Our gut should be as diverse as a tropical rain forest while also having a lot of very specific strains in good health. It strikes me as impossible for something too dangerous for pets to be positively impacting my biome diversity.
But, as I said, Antibiotics also have benefits. Taking either forever seems risky but I'd need a lot more info.
FWIW: Xylitol gum (peppermint) gives me a wonderful sense of well being. My xy toothpaste keeps my sensitive teeth pain free. I'll cont using it. Good info; thanks!

I'm keeping my Xylitol mints for gum health. Maybe cutting back on the number I eat a day. Thanks for this. Another example of how difficult it can be to truly understand the implications of studies.
You could spit instead of swallowing, of course. Gum health is strongly correlated to cardiovascular health so some xylitol for that purpose makes sense
Thanks🙏
Your great at scary stories. Lol you got to do some great Halloween stuff come fall. Lol you had me worried but I'm keeping my gum. 😅
Not a scientific study, but man does sugar alcohol give me a nasty headache.
Go for aspartame instead?
That was you binging on alcohol and got a hangover!

Xylitol was recommended to us to counteract effects of ADHD medication on the mouth. Have others heard of that recommendation?
Yes. I have some in my mouth right now so I hope there no truth to this. 😊
Certainly a bummer if true because it's great for teeth
True. I wonder to what degree xylitol in toothpaste gets into your bloodstream.
Considering you usually don't swallow it due to the fluoride. Gum is another thing though..
"The dose makes the poison"
Gum has about 1-3 gm of xylitol per piece, far far less than the 30 gm they used.
More studies would definitely be needed, and to understand what is the maximum safe dose if it does indeed prove to increase clotting (in everyone, or is it limited to those with heart disease?)
Actually just watch these for the Maiden snippets. The science is just icing on the carotid.
I've just bought loads of xylitol gum for my teeth
I did the same and I started chewing them like crazy and I suddenly got two superficial blood clots on each of my legs. Kind of strange right?
Chew, but spit out the flavor before swallowing. Help the teeth without the clotting risk.
@@smarzig
Yikes!!!!

Interesting. Also curious about other sugar alcohols. Like Sorbitol.
Allulose
I'd love to see a dive into the impacts of sugar alcohols like malitol and sorbitol on gut health, because I'm kind of hooked on fit crunch protein bars
Nuance for the win 💯
This made me look at my 48 OZ bag of Erythritol Monkfruit sweetener like it was a trans-fat cake 😳🧐🤔
Xylitol is antiviral and lessens respiratory infections.
It also has numerous other health benefits for the Microbiome, even anti-cancer. Maybe that’s why they’re using people who are already sick for the study. Not usually something the pharmaceutical companies want people to know about.
Yup, these studies are run by people with malevolent intention, to steer you away from something we all know is good for you in moderation. The same ghouls who tell you margarine is better for you than butter. Follow the money, I promise you it leads to fuckery.
it's not antiviral
@@bartl.7390
Do you often post comments before reading studies?
@@creativesolutions902
I thought there were possible negative effects on the microbiome.
This doesnt make sense because the claim is that oral bacteria are responsible for heart issues and xylitol is good for oral and gut biome.
Poor oral health is not the only cause of cardiovascular events. The potential risk of Xylitol probably lays elsewhere than in your mouth.
I suffer from severe dry mouth and xylitol sprays and gels give me the best relief from the dry mouth. I plan on sticking with it.
This subject has been a wild ride lately!
Can you please do a video on fluoride? 🙏
Better stay with regular sugar and consume in moderation
so the discs I use for dry mouth are probably OK?
I’m wondering if sorbitol and lactulose have any long term side effects?
Please can you do a video on these @Physionic ?
I can’t help but be distracted by your 80s ikea furniture and decor
Look at sucralose or brand name splenda cause pvc in heart in some
I sure do have a memoir's worth of amusing anecdotes about sugar alcohols and bowel movements.
Xylitol has made the biggest difference in my dental health, and it don't have any other cardiovascular risks so I'm keeping on keeping on with it!
I don’t see that you’ve done a report on Luteolin. Could you address that supplement?

Hey Nick, could you make a video on the recent findings on Alzeihmers disease?
I just watched a video of Dr Heather Sandison, and she mentioned that we're making a lot of progress in finding better treatments for alzeihmers.
Whatever healthier dietry changes I make, sooner or later those healthier choices will be called dangerous... Xylitol is my go-to sugar and has been for years. Heck, I've even taken a spoonful of it and let it melt in my mouth if I've had a soar throat. I'm bummed thag another good thing might be bad after all.
High blood sugar results in more clotting, regardless of whether it is regular blood sugar or xylitol or erythritol.
Could this be a proxy for decreased liver function or increased gut permeability?
That blood flow joke caught me off guard! Good job doctor 😂
You got to fix up the room behind you make it look half decent.
I only use for my teeth anyway. My gut can't handle Xylitol at all, so I don't use it as a sweetener.
One of the authors on the erythritol study is a former paid consultant for Proctor and Gamble.
I have genetic Angina in the family on my mothers side. So I have been having aound four teaspoons of zylitol a day and chew the gum only rarely, as it has cleared my gingervitis. But I have inflammation in my body, fibromyalgia, not fit, drink allot of alcohol, smoke and have above average stresses. So how do I measure up for stopping Zylitol? I started it because I have a sweet tooth but cannot eat lollies or normal white sugar due to borderline Diabetes……. But I feel great, so much better than when I ate sugar! So no did not throw my gum out! So where can I research these trials and results as they progress please. Could you give me a starting link? Cheers big fan☺️
Erythritol gives me chest pains. Been saying this for awhile now. I stay away from it. Allulose also after a few days gives me chest anxiety. Only with sucrolose I have no issues.
Would you have data from what to eat to increase butyrate producing bacteria in gut
I started using it in baking a couple months back. I'll be stopping that then.
Check out the work of Dr. Ellie Phillips. She’s a big proponent of xylitol and has been using it in her practice for decades.
What about nose sprays for allergies that contain it ?
How does Allulose compare? Same gragh?
Allulose is not a sugar alcohol. It is a rare sugar and apparently there is a difference. But I'd love to hear what Physionic thinks of allulose!
I popped a new piece of xylitol gum in my mouth at 9:15 as you were saying "Enough doomsday.."
It's always different funny, if people take one study and over hype it 😒 thanks a lot to clear this point 🤘 I use sugar alkohols like Xylit and Stevia. And I will go on to use it 😂
interesting studies - this has implications for home brewers since we use erythritol for sweetening drinks while still allowing for natural carbonation without creating bottle bombs (yeast only consume the small amount of priming sugar to create the carbonation and can't digest the erythritol )
Use allulose instead.
stevia or monk fruit with out erythritol I think is the safest and best sweetner to use
I avoid artificial sweeteners as a general rule but consume xylitol for dental benefits. I think the moral of this, and many other studies like it, are that moderation is wisdom. The body can be overwhelmed by indulgence or excess. It’s a maturity that many reject but prudence, while an ugly stepchild to some, still benefits those who trust her.
It does promote gout though. Ouch.
fascinating. I started eating PUR mints (tangerine) just to have something to curb my munchies. They became impossible to find just before Christmas, but some other flavours, and the gum is still available, just not a fan of them.
What sucks about all this is that I have congenital heart failure (hereditary/genetic) and already at risk for all these problems.
I stopped using it after my dachshund kicked a bit of my yogurt and spent 10 hours in veterinary intensive care. Toxic to dogs.
Not me sitting here with a whole wad of Xylitol gum in my mouth listening to this.
But seriously, among other things doesn't Xylitol also reduce pathogenic bacteria that is associated with CVD risk? Seems like everything is a double edged sword
Me too. I have a cheer in now while watching this. Idk what the hell to believe anymore. About anything actually.
There are many times I'm glad that reincarnation is not a thing. I have a recurring terror of coming back as a white mouse and the first thing I see is a room with a medical logo!

Why do we bother considering correlational studies? I have a PhD and I know that they just add to confusion.
I'm sure you know this, but I"ll put it here anyway.
As I understand it, heart disease aka: Hardening of the Arteries occurs where fat, cholesterol etc, stick to the sides of the arteries restricting blood flow.
This is caused by insulin spikes which rapidly (measured in minutes) deforest the hair follicles that line the inside of your arteries. These hairs act like a non-stick coating, preventing the sticky crap from collecting on your artery walls.
THE GOOD NEWS: the forest of these hair follicles regrow in a few hours (6-12) providing you don't have another insulin spike, which will start the regrow clock all over again.
So, before I watch the video... does Xylitol cause an insulant spike?
Looks like Xylitol doesn't cause an insulant spike. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22832597/
HOWEVER - After watching the video, I agree this study isn't great and people who crave sugar, seeking out Xylitol may already be in a bad situation.
@@patusoro4781 Indeed. Same goes for those who replace cigarettes with donuts
Boy its been decades since ive taking any kind of gum
Doesn't regular sugar make the blood sticky and thrombotic also?
Between the multiple distracting asides, and the monotone deliveyry, the bottom line is lost. Is it bad or not??
Very much this. I can never finish his videos.
So xylitol increases response to injury... ;)
What was that you said? Sorry, I was too busy juggling spent fuel rods and gargling battery acid.
Xylitol, and sugar alcohols in general, have been added to practically everything here in UK. As it is lethal to dogs I have to keep an eye on what foods have it in as my 1 year old collie Hoover's everything up.
Xylitol has been added to a lot of fresh bakery products in supermarkets. I know you said the study attempted to control for a host of variables but not including kidney function seems weird (seen as study was on heart disease). Heart and kidneys have sugar and type 2 diabetes in common - more xylitol could be from higher consumption of low fat OR low sugar products (with sweeteners or sugar added to make low fat products palatable OR intentional swapping from sugar to artificial sweetners).
It certainly feels like something is missing here especially seen as the high xylitol groups had higher prior incidences of CVD. Part of treatment is dietary advice and changes for which the xylitol may come in at that point. I wonder if that dietary advice is as bad as that given by the NHS in UK which has posters in hospitals telling you to get 3/4 of your calories from carbs, complete with image of a plate covered in potatoes 🥴
Lastly, isn't gum disease associated with CVD too for which, presumably, more xylitol would be absorbed through lesions in the gums and mouth overall?
You appear to have a sugar tax in the uk, that is why they add that poison to your goods. Diabetes t2? No, that's insulin resistance. Non alcoholic fatty liver? Yes. It's as bad for us as it is your dog. Never seen a healthy alcoholic.
30g is quite allot. Maybe dose makes the poison...
Water (healthiest thing for us) drinking six liters in three hours has caused the death of a human.
Having no electrolytes in water.. similar to magnesium....
You could sweat out so much magnesium, thst you could pass out..and need to be in hospital
Can you talk more about DOHaD research?
Thanks for the information… statistics can be a real iffy subject. It would seem like more studies on the matter are in order. I honestly will probably start cutting back having been a regular chewer of xylitol gum after meals and sometimes between them. Since it takes up to 18 hours to leave the system perhaps I’ll limit it to an after dinner thing so it isn’t always present or something.
I certainly cut way back on my erythritol. I really thought it was the perfect sugar substitute. I barely use it anymore. I also exercise a lot and I'm pretty fit for being 55.
If you exercise a lot you should be fine on just plain old sugar which your whole body can use. Plus it assists in getting protein to your muscles by activating insulin which is the actual helper. Just don't use it in everything. Coffee and tea is far better and appreciated of quality when you don't sweeten it. The worst garbage can taste good with enough sweeteners in it.
