research of Reesa Sokoloff. The book centers on the benefits of
Xylitol, a natural sugar substitute. Today, it has been found that the
average American uses about half a cup of sugar a day. It is not healthy
consuming so much sugar in a day as it spoils one's health and may lead
to diabetes, Syndrome X and insulin resistance.
