1:26 Thanks for watching!
In this video, we’re going to talk about xylitol as an alternative sweetener that can be used in place of sugar. Xylitol is a popular sugar substitute that has relatively no aftertaste and tastes very similar to sugar.
Not only is xylitol an amazing sugar alternative, but it’s also good for your health! Xylitol has a low glycemic index so it won’t affect your blood sugars in small amounts. It also reduces tooth decay!
Xylitol can cause gas and digestive issues in very large quantities. With a glycemic index of 7, too much xylitol can also affect blood sugars. These negative side effects are unlikely because you typically need to consume 50 to 65 grams of xylitol to experience any issues.
It is important to note that xylitol is fatal in dogs! Keep your xylitol on a high shelf so there’s no chance that your furry friend will consume it by mistake.
Be sure that your xylitol comes from a good source. Birch bark non-GMO xylitol is the best choice! Organic birch bark xylitol is always non-GMO. Some xylitol is made from GMO corn which has been exposed to the herbicide glyphosate. This is not the xylitol you want to consume!

Thanks for watching. I hope you'll try replacing the sugar in your diet with a keto-friendly sugar substitute like xylitol. I'll see you in the next video.
In Finland all of our bubble gum have xylitol instead of sugar, as the bubble gum was often marketed as something to help with tooth issues. Due to the positive effects on teeth, the gum is also given out regularily for children after school lunches :) Of course you shouldn't swallow your bubble gum, but the xylitol tastes pretty good when chewed.
ThatNaelis always wanted to visit Finland. Is there a town called Sydbotten there?
I have heard of dogs dying from eating that gum. We have it here in the states and it's very popular as a sugar free gum.
Yeah there is. It's called Suupohja in Finnish, Sydbotten in Swedish, I believe. It's in a heavily Fenno-Swedish area in Western Finland :)
FINLAND IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
Down with the imperialist swedes and arrogant russians!
I always swallow my gum. Had one guy try best to convince me of the old "it stays in your stomach for 10 years!" Wives tale. Then again i rarely chew gum.
Short, on point, educational, love your work making these videos!
One of my fav docs and Dr Willam Davis and Dr Sircus, all have great info, cheers!
Thanks Dr Berg for your amazing information. I have really learned a lot recently, after discovering you. Question: Can I take all of my Vitamins and minerals while fasting? I haven't heard anything regarding this in your videos. Thanks.
Just tried Xylitol made from Birch (non-GMO) for the 1st time. I like my Black tea sweetened (not my coffee tho.) Very surprised...no aftertaste whatsoever, sweetens like sugar. My search is over.
Mine too.
I agree it's great for drinks and simple sweetening, but I'm still looking for a substitute that has the chemical qualities and aftertaste-free facet of sugar for baking
Are you guys still doing it? Any noticeable effects? I'm on my first week of sugar substitution.
Dr Berg could you make a quick video explaining the best and worst oils used for cooking vs salads. Is olive oil truly the best ? Which oils should we avoid completely? Many Thanks
Thank you very much this has been quite helpful to me. Thanks. Peace and Love ☮🤍
Informative video. Thanks.
* Certain brands of peanut butter often have xylitol if you happen to share your peanut butter with your dog.
XClear make a nasal spray with xylitol.
I recently started using XClear this season as my allergies have been awful and I couldn't keep the sinus and ear infections at bay. This stuff works great and I like that you can use it as much as needed compared to steroid sprays.
Sable1837 I haven't tried it but I'm curious.
So far I've been making my own solution that an ENT gave me: alkaline water, tea tree oil and castor oil.
When it runs out I'll try XClear. ☺
I heard it's poisonous to dogs, so I'm out...
I don't know if the suppliers are cutting xylitol with sucrose to meet the unexpected demand these days but when measuring blood ketones, xylitol reduces ketones as much as sugar in same small quantities.
شكرا جزيلا لكم على هذا الموضوع
Hi Dr Eric berg love your videos very informative and learnt a lot can you please make a video on hey fever or seasonal allergy thanks
“Hey fever!” 😆😆😆😆😆
This is good news as primal max has this ingrediant. Glad to see other alternative MDs are on the same page. Keto works!
Can you do a video on carpal tunnel syndrome and strain in the wrist and forearm?
wow! two in a row ;-) thanks!
Hello Dr Berg. Do you recommend raw manuka honey GMO free on keto?
Thank you for the information
@mightyhat
Absolutely! Thank you for watching.
Gum in South Korea commonly has Xylitol, even the major brands.
I think we're on the verge of a teeth vitality revolution... not to mention the jaw benefits if gum chewing. Our food today is too soft.
Can you discuss the difference between glycemic index vs glycemic load?
Hey Dr. Berg, do you have any idea why xylitol is the first ingredient list in my daily GABA supplement? Doesn't seem right for calming! Thanks
But how often can you eat/drink it? If I wanted to put it into my tea. Does it break Keto?
I use XYLOSE. What is the diferrence between XYLOSE and XYLITOL? Which one is better and safer?
My question: What’s considered too much? Would 2-4 table spoons be too much? And to answer your question Dr. Berg... Biggest problem areas are stomach and hip.
Doctor Berg my biggest body problem is quitting alcohol. Will you make a video on how to stop? Thank You sir!
Look into the Sinclair Method. If you can't find or afford a doctor, buy the book and order Naltrexone from overseas.
How ya doin?
Very slowly
Thank you, Dr. Berg.
I don't wanna fill out the thing because I don't need anymore emails daily, but if you could touch on Lyme disease I'd be interested to see what you have to say. I've suffered for many years with this tricky disease. Many doctors have told me theres nothing wrong with me and that chronic Lyme disease is not a thing, but I was diagnosed 20 years ago and I still get flare ups every few years
Can xylitol or erithritol interfere with the microbiome in the gut?

Candida overgrowth and how to do a candida and liver cleanse (psoriasis)
Hello to Dr.Berg. Doctor have you or would you please produce a video on the zig zag technique of varying total weekly maximum caloric intact each day in varying amounts reach your weekly allowed maximum total in hope of breaking through a weight lose plateau to then continue donward loosing weight? Thank you very much.
Please make a video on tennis elbow. I have been suffering for 2 months.
After right side discomfort a scan showed no stones but ducts were full of crystals or chaff. Dad had very narrow ducts which I may also have too. Any advice on clearing and keeping ducts clear. I can eat cheese but more than two ounces makes me feel grotty. Love your videos,. Thank you.
You need K2 to make sure calcium from cheese gets in your bones and teeth instead of just sitting there. K2 keeps plaque out of arteries. That's why Berg sells that D3+K2 pill. The two vitamins work together for immune and directing calcium. But some people buy the vitamins individually and guess how much. I just take his instead.
Can I ask, how is this made? is it bleached? whats the process? Does anyone know?
Won't feed candida too which i love as i had this bugger!
Xylitol is GREAT for oral health. Love your explanation Dr. Berg.
Can u cover a condition called Chronic Dyspepsia? Chronic gas, indigestion & bloating that leads to painful digestion? Thx.
natl apple cider vinegr !!
I was never officially diagnosed with that but had those symptoms so severe every night all night I could barely sleep. I've been taking Heather's peppermint oil capsules (make sure it's Heather's, they are double coated) twice a day on empty stomach, the juice of half a lemon in warm water on empty first thing in morning, and 2 Tbs ACV w/ 1/4 tsp baking soda twice a day.
I'm literally about 80% better already after a month and a half!!
And I eat really good, organic, very low sugar and processed, etc (but I do still have some fun here and there.. I still like my wine and organic chocolate;)
Hi what is organic chocolate ? where you get it ! have you tied CBD oil ?
BOBObro kake I usually get it at Trader Joe's (they have very inexpensive organic wine there too:), or you can find it at just about any grocery store in health food section. You can find it online many places too.. Vitacost, Thrivemarket, Amazon etc.
And yes I have top of the line CBD oil ($100/oz..ouch!) and I find it helps moderately for anxiety but not always due to the nature of my anxiety (aftereffects of long term benzodiazepine and anti-depressant use). And I didn't notice that it helped my digestive issues.
Thanks on the tips on the chocolate ! Glad you have used CBD me big time ! Sorry it don't do more for you ! do you use heavy dose of B-vits ? they help a lot anxiety i have when i do have ! Good Luck !!
Dr.berg you are the best
is organic coconut palm sugar okay to eat?
Would love a video on psoriasis and fibromyalgia please, I’m doing keto and IF and realise possibly psoriasis is a leaky gut issue?? As well as fibro.. 24hrs and beyond in fasting puts my body into a fibro flare.. Thankyou I watch all your videos.. would buy your products except the shipping to New Zealand is a bit too much .. Thankyou x
How u now?
I'm looking forward to hearing your take on the new findings about xylitol. I see that the study they're referring to had limitations like the one on erythritol.
I just noticed a lot of liquid vitamins, like B12 drops, use Xylitol as a sweetener. Hm....I wonder how many carbs I am getting from that
Hello Dr Berg, greetings from India. Could you please make a video on body acne. That is my biggest body issue.I believe it has to do with the liver.I also happen to be a liver body type.Thankyou. 😊
You should look up a dermatologist named "Dr. Dray" on UA-cam. She would probably recommend a body wash with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
Can you do one about stevia please?
EXCELLENT !!!!!!
Does it increase blood sugar?I have heard few people saying it increased their blood sugar
Hello doctor Berg, is xylitol alkaline?
Hey Dr. Berg. Thanks so much for all your wonderful videos. My husband and I love watching and learning. You've covered many of my health issues, gastritis, gerd, no gallbladder. I'm wondering about my hyatel hernia. Can it be healed, what is it, what kind of damage does it do, can it hurt my heart??
Also, off topic, many of my supplements have ingredients such as maltodextrin and glycol among others. Is this something I should be concerned about when taking them? Thanks again to you and Karen! We love you guys!!
Can you please do a video like this on Sucralose (not Splenda 😉) THANKS!!!
Julia L. Sucralose and all the "lose" named sweeteners give me severe swelling. That stuff is in so many products
Wondering if it's fatal to dogs, should we be eating it? would be interesting to know the difference, many thanks
Chocolate is fatal for dogs too. And we eat it and it's kind a save for us.
With dogs, it confuses their pancreas causing hypoglycemia and liver failure. As humans, there are many cons as to why I avoid eating xylitol. It may be ok for toothbrushing, mouthwash but consuming/ingesting is not healthy - especially on a regular basis. It can cause IBS, osmotic diarrhea, gas and dysbiosis. It ferments in the gut and disrupts flora which can lead to immune issues along with it increases phosphorus and oxalates which can cause kidney stones in some people. Ironically, Dupont is one of the largest makers of hardwood derived xylitol having plants in America, Europe and China. Xylitol is man made after taking xylose from birch or xylan from corn and needs to be broken down in a process called acid hydrolyzing. This requires a high temperature and a catalyst known as Raney nickel, an aluminum alloy - heavy metal. After this process known as hydrogenation, one is left with xylose and acetic acid. The acidic acid needs to be removed by heating it so it can evaporate. The resulting syrup is pure xylose which must be stabilized into a crystallized sugar alcohol by mixing it with ethanol. A few spins in a centrifuge creates xylitol. Chemists are experimenting with copper, wheat straw and fermenting yeast or sulphuric acid instead of raney nickel, as well & still not truly healthy. With the catalyst normally being raney nickel an aluminum alloy it can be harmful for those with MTHFR gene mutations that can't detox heavy metals which aluminum accumulates and can pass the blood to brain barrier causing Alzheimer's/dementia with long time consumption. Most xylitol is from China (usually GMO corn based) since they hand harvest their corn and have an abundance of corncobs they opted to profit off manufacturing xylitol. Birch xylitol is expensive and harder to find but there are a few companies in US like Espure and Health Garden. However, all xylitol products will cause gas and GI disturbances if consumed as a sugar substitute since it is osmotic that draws water out of the body and into the intestines causing peristalsis (the bowels to move).
can someone explain it
Xylitol is C5H12O5
which part of it could be GMO ?
Hello Dr. Berg! What amount of xylitol in grams/mcg etc. registers as a 7 on the Glycemic Index?🤷♀️ Thank you. Just curious, as I enjoy chewing gum with xylitol to combat snacking urges but don't want to spike insulin unknowingly.😁
The glycemic index is a comparison with glucose on a per-gram basis. So, whatever insulin spike arose from 10g of glucose, if you took 10g of xylitol instead, the insulin spike would be 7% of that. It's like being able to say that balsa wood has 20% of the density of water: you don't need to know how much balsa wood there is, it's still gonna float.
Is it worth asking a question, I noticed that there is no replies to viewers questions from Dr Berg ☹️🤷🏻♀️
Could you tell what to do with fibromialgy?
Hope you found relief. I have issues w it myself bc of other chronic illness. But going keto yr and a half ago, losing weight, no sugar or processed, working out...turned my life around. Total 180. I run stairs and use kettle balls. Walk a mile. I used a scooter at amusement parks 2yrs ago so...
What about allulose as a sweetener? Especially in baking occasional keto recipes?
My biggest problem is cinstant folliculitis in the folds of the skin of my face.. I need recommendation for safe cream thanks 💕

How many tsp of it can we take in a day.. For diabetic person
I have a definite allergy to sorbitol. According to my GI doc I should stay away from all sugar alcohols, which I believe xylitol is. I do have IBS so I don’t risk any ....ol sugar alcohols....another would be malitol. Chicory root, or insulin, seems to be another trigger. Can you comment?
Hi Dr Berg. What are the effects of low carb chocolate bars / bread and less sugar sweets in our body? Say coke zero or no /less sugar icecream
It's all bad, all that sugar free junk food is the worst, no one should ever drink zero coke or any coke for that matter, it's all toxic, I see your message is from 2 yrs ago, did you give all that highly processed food and drink up?
Dr is xylitol from corn ok to use I cannot use the one from birch I have a birch allergy
I read a review somewhere about this ingredient in DGL can cause the Lower Esophageal Sphincter to relax. Is this true?
Thanks
teeth feel great, but this has caused me to have diriah and heart problems, I am not sure if the dehydration causes the heart palpitations or if it's now the coffee which didn't do this before. I used it for around 2 weeks. My mom has the same issues.
Is it possible to reverse tooth decay I.e heal cavities ? I've heard of people being about to heal cavities and I always wondered; if teeth are bone why can't you heal them?
@Ahava- Hello, Could it heal your cavities?
I recently purchased xylitol it doesn’t say is organic, however it does have the non gmo project verified logo, is it still good quality, or the same as the organic? What is your recommendations? Thank You

Have you found any sugar substitutes that don’t upset your stomach? I have this problem with a lot of the sugar substitutes.
Is jaggery ok to eat instead of sugar?!
If you are on keto, no. Jaggery spikes insulin just like sugar
more loose skin videos please and how to fix it.
I bought these zipfizz tubes of energy drink mix and paid a quite a bit. Now, I realize that they contain xylitol. The package does not mention how much zylitol is in it. I did get a tiny headache for like a few seconds (does that sound odd?). It was like a quick, shooting headache. I'm wondering if it was the zylitol. I am going to call the company to find out how much zylitol is in it.
Listen to your body. Dump it if it gave you a headache.
Hyperhidrosis, all over body.. I'm a 49 yr old female and have struggled since puberty.
FooBar Maximus I can understand that, but with the constant public embarrassment I battle, and thus have to stay away from sunny outdoor events, homes and places without AC, etc, it's probably even as far as the negative effects on our lives.
Hey Dr. Berg.. so the FDA is banning Xylitol due to increased heart attack and stoke its said it can “Supercharge blood platelets making them more likely to Clot”.. im not sure if I consumed this but I do eat and use the items listed with it.. should we get checked with our PCP?!
Thanks a lot
I am on keto for 10 months but losing just 5 LB why !?
is that because I have no high over weight or what ?!
I can't bear Stevie or monkfruit in my coffee during for fasting. How much can I have in my coffee whilst fasting?
Do you get these weird skin blemishes from consuming xylitol.
Hi Dr. Berg, my biggest body problem is my weight and now that I am over 60 I am loosing my energy. With Keto Diet I know that I can intelligently loose weight and regain energy. However I have a problem, I cook for my family, and they do not have the courage to follow keto, so I have to cook pasta and pizza for them, and that is quite uncomfortable.
Maybe try a freeze dried grass-fed liver supplement. That's got everything for vitamins and energy. You have to start slow because it's potent , starting with one a day a week, and then moving up to higher dose each week till meeting full dose.
I think you could try getting heirloom wheat to make pizzas for your family, fermenting the dough. That's what Europe does. I'm not sure about spaghetti. Heirloom wheat too--- but I bet that'd be hard to make from scratch?
They are insisting that you slowly kill them. How sad.
Dr im startin keto+if . Im 188 cm.tall and weight around 67_68kg . And i eat one meal a day that contain less than 500 calories is this gonna slow my metabolism down? Or boost it
You too skinny you should eat 4 times a day
This world is horrible. Half people say xylitol is good and than half say bad who the hell can we trust these days
Jesus; No hell needed.
If dr berg says its fine then its fine (99,9%)
@@pustel word!
The thing about Xylitol is you have to increase the amount gradually. Your body needs to get used to it.
pustel pustel I had to find this out the hard way! Was a week on keto and everything was fine, except for my tiredness which I was going to fix with nutritional yeast, but then I decided to try a keto brownie recipe, which asked for Xylitol, and I also put Xylitol in my coffee that day. It wasn‘t much, 1/2 tsp in my coffee and about 200g for the brownie recipe, from which I ate only one, and I got the worst Diarrhea I had in a while. Thought it was related to keto since some people have this issue but it was gone the next day when I stopped eating Xylitol. I will now add it in micrograms to my meals to get used to it lol.
I just came to watch what you had to say about Xylitol after I saw a STUNNING 72 year old Australian woman, Carolyn Hartz recommend it. You're kind of my "Go To" source now when I want to separate fact from fiction...
Thank you Dr Berg, my next item on my shopping list is a set of xylitol gum :)
Most welcome!
@@Drberg is xylitol allowed when intermitted fasting with coffee like 1 to 2 tsp?
Hi Dr. Berg,
1st- thx for the gr8 info clips! 2 thumps up sir! I've recently stated eating better: (1 1/2 months in) high good fats, moderate proteins, & very low carbs.
The issue I've had , tho it's improved much in the past month, still continues. Dry flaky skin @ forehead & eyebrow area & shins/calf area. Should I allow more time adjusting my eating before trying other remedies?
I do feel gr8 & eating much less bcuz of no more cravings.

Not a fan of xylitol, used to purchase organic from Amazon and even small amounts of it hurt my stomach and digestion. I use stevia now
Erythritol tase very close to Xylitol and is lower on the glycemic index, so I usually just go with that and stevia. Nevertheless, Xylitol does taste better Imo. I haven't used all of the approved keto sweeteners; any suggestions which is the best sweetener for baking?
John Giovanni I like Sukrin Gold for baking. Not sure if it's Dr. Berg approved, but I haven't had any issues. It's made with non gmo Erythritol and stevia.
Terri Boyd I'll have to try that, thanks for the info.
John Giovanni It's a bit expensive but worth it. If you do 1/2 Sukrin Gold and 1/2 Xylitol, you'll never know it wasn't made with real sugar.
Do you have a source or online place to purchase pure stevia?
