| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I'm back in this video. We're going to talk about xylitol. I actually like xylitol because |
| 0:05.6 | there's no aftertaste. It tastes very close to sugar. But let's kind of cover some key points about this. |
| 0:12.7 | Okay, so it can actually reduce tooth decay. It has a glycemic index of around seven. Sometimes, |
| 0:19.1 | some references say it's up to 30. So it's on the low side. So it can |
| 0:23.5 | affect blood sugars a little bit, especially in greater quantities. So if you're consuming a large |
| 0:30.2 | quantities, it can also give you gas and digestive issues, but you'd have to consume something |
| 0:35.5 | like 50 or 65 grams of it. But if you have small |
| 0:38.9 | amounts, it should be fine. It's fatal in dogs. So this is very serious. You want to actually |
| 0:44.1 | keep it away from your dog, and I keep it on a high shelf, and make sure that there's no way |
| 0:49.4 | my dog is going to be exposed to that. It's been used for nasal spray because it helps the bacteria not |
| 0:56.0 | adhere to the wall of your mucus membranes, so it kind of clears out microbes. Now, the real key |
| 1:03.0 | thing with xylitol is where it comes from. Birch bark is a really good source, but you want to |
| 1:08.6 | make sure you get it non-GMO xolitol because they can make |
| 1:13.2 | erythol from GMO corn and you don't want to consume that because it's been exposed to glyphosate, |
| 1:19.0 | which is an herbicide. So just get the one that says organic or non-GMO because if it is organic, |
| 1:24.8 | it's going to be non-GMO. All right, thanks for watching. |
| 1:32.4 | Hey, guys, so I'm doing a survey of a future video, |
| 1:37.1 | and I wanted to find out what your biggest body problem is. |
| 1:42.7 | So that way, the content is aligning with something that you are personally interested in. |

| 1:48.3 | Thanks. |
