Consuming xylitol does prevent cavities despite recent uncertainty over its anti-caries properties, according to a DuPont study.

Doubt was cast on the natural sweetener’s anti-caries effect last year when a Cochraine review declared there was little evidence. The review included data from over 5,900 subjects using xylitol-based lozenges, sweets, toothpastes, syrups, and tooth-wipes.

However, using an in vitro dental simulator with artificial saliva, DuPont believes it has proven that xylitol is protective against tooth decay because it lowered gram-positive bacteriaStreptococcus mutans (S. mutans) – a known cause of cavities.

Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness, more commonly known as DOMS is experienced about 24 to 48 hours after exercise and normally lasts for about 96 hours. So, that instant pain during, or straight after intense exercise is not classified as DOMS. The most common symptoms of DOMS include swelling, joint stiffness and limited motion, tenderness, debilitating pain and muscle weakness. In extreme cases one can experience severe muscle breakdown, which can place the kidneys at risk and raised levels of creatine kinase (CK) in the bloodstream (an indicator of muscle tissue damage).

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that can radically influence the quality of life of those suffering from it. The World Health Organisation (WHO), estimates that it affects approximately 300 million people worldwide and is responsible for about 250 000 deaths annually.

Many asthmatics start, manage and end their day with a variety of medications to minimise their wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness. Relievers can cause heart palpitations and occasional shakes while preventers can give you thrush and hoarseness. So, instead of relying entirely on allopathic medication, why not consider a natural, nutritional approach by including Lyprinol® PCSO-524® and OliveHeart® in your diet.

Our third article in the series looks at how Lyprinol® and OliveHeart® can improve the lives of those, who have to deal with the debilitating effects of osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on a daily basis.

As mentioned in the first article both Lyprinol® and OliveHeart® contain elements that are highly effective in treating inflammation. This is why they are so successful in helping those suffering from the inflammatory-based diseases, OA and RA.
