Anyone know if xylitol is safer or the same problem?
xylitol is safer. nit has no strong links to heart disease or stroke in humans.
But it raises blood sugar a little, but still much lower than regular sugar.
It reduces cavity-causing bacteria. That’s why it’s used in sugar-free gum and toothpaste.
In high amounts, it can cause digestive upset (bloating, gas, diarrhea), because gut bacteria ferment it.
Dogs: Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs (causes life-threatening hypoglycemia and liver failure).
