Tests have been done at a leading university and pathology laboratory that confirm the following:
Not all South African suppliers of xylitol are selling pharmaceutical grade xylitol. There is nothing wrong with this in itself - “food grade” is not harmful, but it’s not nearly as beneficial as pharmaceutical grade
The reason why pharmaceutical grade xylitol is relatively expensive is because of the additional refining involved in its manufacture. This purification process is incredibly important. With all organically derived foodstuffs, there are always traces of heavy metals like lead, and poisons like mercury and arsenic. These can sometimes be present in potentially harmful concentrations, depending on quantities consumed. Importantly however, allowance is made in “food grade” xylitol for the presence of other sugars. So make sure that you know what you are getting when purchasing your xylitol. You definitely don’t want to be paying good money for inferior grades that have been diluted with other sugar-alcohols like mannitol, sorbitol, lactitol etc.
Xlear Inc. uses only pharmaceutical grade xylitol in all of their products, whether it’s “diluted” in food or not.
