A majority of consumers do not understand that there are "good" and " bad" sugars  that can healthy for you.   I want to give you the facts about Sugar, so that you can make "wise" choices in your diet for children and adults.   

There is actually a "good" sugar that can be beneficial to your health.   That sugar is XYLITOL.   You need to become knowledgeable about it's benefits.  Xylitol is FDA APPROVED as a cooking ingredient safe for people to use daily from infancy through adulthood.   It is one of the few"sugars" that people with diabetes can use safely.   It can easily be purchased in health food stores and some progressive grocery stores.  You should incorporate it into your daily cooking routine.   XYLITOL not only benefits your oral health,  but it improves your general overall health.   Search the internet to find its benefits and safety. 

I learned about the benefits of XYLITOL over 10 years ago.   Knowing these benefits,  I  took the time and research to develop a properly formulated toothpaste and gel.   Both are safe to swallow,  good tasting, reduces bacteria in the mouth that causes tooth decay and gum disease.  Tooth decay in American children 6yrs of age and younger is continuing to increase,  because of all of the "BAD"  sugars in their diet.  This trend can and should be reversed.  Using Dr Branams Xylitol toothpaste and gel containing the "SAFE" SUGAR by both parents, caregivers,  and children can decrease the need for expensive dental treatment for the entire family.   

Studies reveal that introducing "bad" sugar into the diet, especially fruit juice,  before the  toddler's 2nd birthday can increase the risk of tooth decay by 300 percent.   Studies also show that the average American ate 5 Pounds of sugar a year in 1960.  A more recent study reported that the average American ate 100 Pounds of sugar in 2023.  Here's the bottom line.   Americans have 2 choices.   You can try to significantly decrease the "bad" sugar you consume,  or use a "good and healthy" which is XYLITOL. 

Your body actually needs SOME sugar to function properly.   You should give your body a "good" sugar.   This is the goal of Dr. Branams Xylitol products.   Go to the www.drbranamsxylitol.com   site learn about XYLITOL, read the clinical study,  and purchase our high quality and clinically tested toothpaste and gel.

In the ever-evolving landscape of dental care, the quest for the most effective ingredients to combat tooth decay and promote oral health has been ongoing. For decades, fluoride has held the spotlight as the go-to ingredient in toothpaste, renowned for its ability to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. However, as we step into the 21st century, a challenger emerges – xylitol. This naturally occurring sugar alcohol is gaining traction as a revolutionary alternative to fluoride, promising superior protection against tooth decay and gum disease. 

The Problem of Increasing Tooth Decay:
The prevalence of tooth decay, particularly among young children, has become a growing concern in recent years. Despite the widespread use of fluoride, statistics reveal a troubling trend – a rise in dental caries fueled by increased sugar consumption. From the 1960s to the present day, the average American's sugar intake has skyrocketed, creating an environment ripe for oral health challenges. The traditional approach of relying solely on fluoride to counteract this surge in tooth decay is proving inadequate, signaling the need for a paradigm shift in dental care.

Enter Xylitol: The New Champion of Oral Health:
Xylitol emerges as a beacon of hope in the fight against tooth decay. Unlike fluoride, which primarily works by fortifying enamel, xylitol takes a different approach by targeting the root cause – bacteria. With its ability to disrupt the growth of cavity-causing bacteria and reduce plaque buildup, xylitol offers a holistic solution to maintaining oral hygiene. Its efficacy has been demonstrated not only in clinical trials but also through decades of successful use in Europe, where xylitol-based dental products have garnered praise for their effectiveness.

Comparing Fluoride and Xylitol:
While fluoride has long been hailed as a stalwart defender against tooth decay, the limitations of this traditional approach are becoming increasingly apparent. While it may strengthen enamel, fluoride alone cannot address the underlying bacterial imbalance that fuels tooth decay and gum disease. In contrast, xylitol offers a more comprehensive solution by targeting bacteria directly, resulting in a significant reduction in both cavities and periodontal issues.

The Evidence Speaks: Clinical Trials and Real-World Results:
The effectiveness of xylitol in promoting oral health is supported by a wealth of scientific evidence. Clinical trials have consistently demonstrated the superiority of xylitol over fluoride in reducing tooth decay and gum disease. With a reported 72% reduction in dental caries and associated bacterial infections, the results speak volumes about the potential of xylitol to revolutionize dental care.

Conclusion: Embracing the Future of Dental Care with Xylitol:
As we stand at the crossroads of dental innovation, the choice between fluoride and xylitol becomes increasingly clear. While fluoride has served as a cornerstone of dental care for generations, it is xylitol that offers a path forward towards comprehensive oral health. By targeting the root cause of tooth decay and gum disease, xylitol represents a paradigm shift in dental care that promises to transform smiles and safeguard oral wellness for generations to come. Let us embrace this new era of dental innovation and pave the way for a brighter, healthier future.

THE INCREASE in sugar consumption of Americans is one of the primary reasons for the increase of tooth decay in children in America.  It is not practical or possible to eliminate sugar from the American diet.   The quantity of sugar is a major problem.   According to the American Dental Association,  in 1960, the average American ate 5 pounds of sugar per year.   In 2022, the average American ate 100 pounds of sugar per year.  The producers of food products have become experts at masking the amount and kinds of sugar in the food they produce.   

People MUST educate themselves about sugars and artificial sweetners.  Artificial sweetness "trick " the body into not burning fat, because it is PERCEIVED as a "sugar."

The SOLUTION Is finding a BETTER SUGAR.   The BEST new sugar is XYLITOL.   Mainstream sugar is a cooking ingredient in the American diet.   XYLITOL is labeled as a cooking ingredient.   People need to understand that substituting XYLITOL in the daily diet,  will not only improve the oral health of Americans, but improve the general health of Americans.  

Tooth decay is the #1 childhood disease in America.   Tooth decay has decreased in every age group of Americans in the last 25 years EXCEPT children 2 to 5 years of age.   FLUORIDE usage has been declared the primary method to prevent tooth decay in children.  FLUORIDE  USE ALONE HAS FAILED TO REDUCE THIS DISEASE.  

Using XYLITOL in toothpaste and other oral health products have been used in Europe for over 50 years to reduce tooth decay in their populations.  The mainstream dental associations in America have known about the benefits of XYLITOL for over 50 years.  They have done nothing to introduce the benefits of XYLITOL.

Parents need to realize that the future of preventing tooth decay in their children  is using XYLITOL daily in their toothpaste and other oral care products.  Lastly,  one of the best benefits of XYLITOL is that it is SAFE to use from birth to elderly people.  It is safe to swallow and meant to be left in the body.   It is one of the few Sugars that is SAFE  for diabetic patients to use.
