      <image:title>Why use xylose? - Why use xylose?</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is natural. Xylose is a naturally occurring sugar found in most edible plants. It is the second most common sugar in nature, accounting for 18-30% of lignocellulose hydrolysate sugars. It is safe for most consumers. Xylose does not cause blood sugar or insulin spikes; is safe for your teeth, and is not linked to cancer. Xylose received its GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1979. There is some concern around consumption in populations such as newborns, children, pregnant women, and those with untreated celiac disease, however; there is little research on the topic. It tastes just like sugar. Xylose is a naturally occurring simple sugar and carbohydrate that tastes just like sugar - without all the calories. No stomach upset. Unlike other alternative sweeteners, xylose does not alter the gut microbiome and therefore does not cause GI upset. Have more questions? Click here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Regular sugar (sucrose) can lead to high blood glucose (sugar) and insulin resistance over time. When sugar is consumed, it raises blood sugar levels which stimulate beta cells to secrete insulin. Consumption of xylose does not lead to high blood glucose or insulin resistance and is a great, natural sugar alternative for diabetics.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Consumption of sugar is associated with bad oral health. When we consume sugar, bacteria in our mouth eat the sugar leftover on our teeth and gums and ferment it into lactic acid. This acid dissolves the minerals in tooth enamel, causing the teeth to become weak and susceptible to cavities. Xylose does not negatively impact oral health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Diabetes - What is diabetes?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Blood sugar, or glucose, is the main sugar found in your blood. It comes from the food you eat and is your body's main source of energy. Your blood carries glucose to your body's cells to use for energy. Diabetes is a disease in which your blood sugar levels are too high.  Glucose comes from the Greek word for "sweet." It's a type of sugar you get from foods you eat, and your body uses it for energy. As it travels through your bloodstream to your cells, it's called blood glucose or blood sugar. Insulin is a hormone that moves glucose from your blood into the cells for energy and storage. People with diabetes have higher-than-normal levels of glucose in their blood. Either they don't have enough insulin to move it through or their cells don't respond to insulin as well as they should. All types of diabetes have in common that they cause people to have too much glucose (sugar) in their blood. But we all need some glucose. It’s what gives us energy. We get glucose when our bodies break down the carbohydrates that we eat or drink. And that glucose is released into our blood. We also need a hormone called insulin. It’s made by our pancreas and its insulin, allowing the glucose in our blood to enter our cells and fuel our bodies.  If you don’t have diabetes, your pancreas senses when glucose has entered your bloodstream and releases the right amount of insulin, so the glucose can get into your cells. But if you have diabetes, this system doesn’t work.  Interested in diabetic resources? Click here.</image:caption>
