⚠️ Don’t be fooled by “sugar-free.” Xylitol is a popular sweetener hiding in everything from sugar-free gum and candy to other everyday products, and research has linked higher xylitol levels with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events. It’s another reminder that the claims on the front of a package don’t always tell you the whole story. Flip it over. Read the ingredients. Know what you’re putting into your body. And when you can, keep it simple with real, whole foods.
