The Truth about Sugar and finding a BETTER SUGAR.

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.
