A disticntion needs to be made regarding the source of the xylitol. Most xylitol on the market is derived from genetrically modified corn and produced in China. It requires some effort to source the much better, no-GM, xylitol that is made in the US from birch and other hardwood.

I use Sucanat an organic evaporated cane sugar that retains, I think, all the nutrients of the original cane. How would you compare this to xylitol?

Fruit is good for you, just eat it in moderation. The problem is simple sugars eaten alone or in drinks without the combined nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.

Wow!! I really have to hand it to Dr. Mercola really gets his research! I really appreciate this. It just helpes me to remember what I am putting into my mouth or into my body! I was anit-sugar for awhile, but do eat fruit. How are we going to get our fiber if we do not ingest some fruit and grains?. I am animent about high frutctose corn syrup, but isn't regular apple a day good??? Presently I am in a Nutrition course thru a community college. I don't agree with the new Pyramid of eating, but I did get my saturated fats down. I think the sugar artical is excellant, but I would of liked to see more support for natural fruit, expecially for our children. Thank you.
