Thanks for the comment on the laxative effect but I dont think at the levels I used (125g of Xylitol), equating to less than 10g each, unless you are eating more than 6 a day should be a problem, and according to http://www.spiffies.com/v/PDF/Study_xylitol_safety.pdf Some nutritionists have expressed concerns about the potential laxative effects of xylitol and<br />other sugar alcohols (sorbitol, maltilol) when given in high doses. The xylitol consumption<br />threshold at which gastrointestinal discomfort may occur in humans appears to fall in the<br />range of 70 – 200 grams daily for adults and 40 grams daily for school age children, and with<br />regular ingestion, the tolerance actually increases.<br />But yes it is something people need to be aware of, everything has a good and a bad side.fun as a granhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12580416781042660045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067501733237560809.post-25352764507769808952011-12-20T21:32:46.499+00:002011-12-20T21:32:46.499+00:00Thanks for this.

For the most part, it's all come out very well. I didn't use too much xylitol, as I was concerned about the laxitive effect it can have. I must try out some Vitalite - I'm sure we used to get that when I was teenager.Tasha Goddardhttp://www.wahm-bam.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067501733237560809.post-78918552046557095672011-12-19T08:05:16.320+00:002011-12-19T08:05:16.320+00:00thanks Emma, hope your mums group enjoy it, let me...thanks Emma, hope your mums group enjoy it, let me now how they get on.
