What is the health hazard of xylitol?

Nowadays, more and more foods are added with xylitol. When you stroll around the supermarket, you can see a wide range of foods containing “xylitol”, including biscuits, candy, milk powder, Saqima, and xylitol powder for cooking. The packaging of chewing gum is everywhere.” Xylitol" three words. Some people even vowed to say: xylitol can completely replace sugar, eat will not gain weight, diabetics can also rest assured that the food. Is this true? ......

Experts pointed out that xylitol can also release heat energy after being oxidized in the human body

What is Xylitol

Nutritionist Song Xin said: Xylitol is a natural plant sweetener extracted from plants such as birch and oak. Since xylitol is not easily fermented to produce acidic substances, it can reduce dental caries and tartar. The production of a certain effect on the prevention of dental caries.

Xylitol can also make people fat

Many people start from eating xylitol chewing gum, and psychologically believe that xylitol has low calories, so there is no restraint in eating other xylitol foods. But in fact, if you eat too much xylitol, you will gain weight. And in terms of physical and chemical properties, xylitol is cool, it is not broken down by stomach enzymes, directly into the intestine, eat more on the gastrointestinal tract will have some stimulation, may cause abdominal discomfort, flatulence, bowel. Because the absorption rate of xylitol in the intestine is less than 20%, it is easy to accumulate in the intestinal wall and easily cause diarrhea.

In Europe and the United States, foods containing xylitol are marked on the label as "consumption of excess may lead to diarrhea," such as consumption tips. However, foods sold in the domestic market are rarely seen in this kind of logo. According to a well-known chewing gum manufacturer, its xylitol chewing gum has a low content of xylitol and is not sufficient to cause diarrhea, so this type of labeling is “not necessary”. In spite of this, the dietitian reminded that with the Chinese constitution, the total amount of xylitol taken in a day cannot exceed 50 grams. Chewing chewing gum should be no problem, but if you eat a lot of other xylitol foods, you need to pay attention.

Excessive consumption will increase blood lipids

Diabetic patients can not eat too much sugar because of the dysfunction of insulin secretion in the body, and even a small amount of sugar may cause adverse consequences. At present, there are about 30 million diabetic patients in China, that is to say, about 30 million families need to carefully choose their diet. This has also led many businesses to seize the opportunity to make money and mass production of sugar-free foods. As a result, there are more and more foods suitable for people with diabetes, such as ultra-dry beer, pumpkin juice drinks, sugar-free milk powder, sugar-free biscuits, sugar-free cereal, sugar-free chewing gum, sugar-free sweets, and the like.

Dietitians say that because diabetics cannot consume refined sugars, using xylitol as a seasoning is a good choice. However, it should be noted that xylitol, like glucose, is composed of three substances: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. After being oxidized in the human body, xylitol can release heat energy. Xylitol may not need insulin to participate in the early stage of metabolism, but it needs insulin to promote in the later stage of metabolism.

After taking xylitol, the increase of blood sugar and the speed of normal people are lower than glucose and sucrose. However, once the diabetes patient consumes too much, it will produce side effects, causing elevated blood triglyceride, causing coronary atherosclerosis. Hardened, so diabetic patients should not eat xylitol. Xylitol is even more prohibitive for those who suffer from insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
