Hey guys, I'm back in this video. We're going to talk about zalitol. I actually like zalitol because

there's no aftertaste. It tastes very close to sugar, but let's kind of cover some key points

about this. Okay, so it can actually reduce tooth decay. It has a glycemic index of around seven.

Sometimes some references say it's up to 30, so it's on the low side. So it can affect blood

sugars a little bit, especially in greater quantities. Okay, so if you're consuming a large

quantity, it can also give you gas and digestive issues, but you would have to consume something

like 50 or 65 grams of it, but if you have small amounts, it should be fine. It's fatal in dog,

so this is very serious. You want to actually keep it away from your dog and I keep it on a high

shelf and make sure that there's no way my dog is going to be exposed to that. It's been used

for nasal spray because it helps the bacteria not adhere to the wall of your mucous membranes,

so it kind of clears out microbes. Now, the real key thing with zalitol is where it comes from.

Birch bark is a really good source, but you want to make sure you get it non-GMO zalitol because

they can make arithotol from GMO corn and you don't want to consume that because it's been exposed

to glyphosate, which is an herbicide. So just get the one that says organic or non-GMO,

because if it is organic, it's going to be non-GMO. All right, thanks for watching.
