Dear Customer,

As many of you probably know, November is American Diabetes Month. According to the American Diabetes Association more than 20 million children and adults in the United States suffer from diabetes, and nearly one-third of them have not been diagnosed with the disease and are unaware that they may have it. One of the main benefits of our XyloSweet product is that it is a safe sugar-substitute for those that suffer from diabetes. The 100% pure xylitol sweetener has very little impact on blood sugar levels, and as many you have already found out, it tastes like sugar. While many of us will be spending time in the kitchen this holiday season, keep I mind that XyloSweet can also be used in most culinary applications from sweetening tea to making pumpkin pie.

It Xlear's goal to make XyloSweet accessible to as many people as possible, which is why you can find it in more than 5,000 health and natural product retailers across the country, as well as in the diabetic section of many Wal-Mart locations.

We hope you enjoy this holiday season and this month's Crystal Xlear Newsletter. As always, please send us your feedback and suggestions to crystalxlear@xlear.com.

Xlear Perspective Dr. John Peldyak, DMD
Getting a healthier smile with a better sugar

There is more to a healthy smile than just white teeth. On a daily basis our teeth face a constant onslaught from bacteria and the acids that they produce. The warm, moist environment in our mouths makes an ideal breeding ground for these bacteria -- most notably Streptococcus mutans -- and with the presence of refined carbohydrates (particularly sugar) from our diets; the bacteria have an almost endless food supply.

As these bacteria break down carbohydrates, they produce harsh acids. Furthermore, they create a sticky biofilm that makes it hard for our saliva to wash them away. This biofilm holds the acids in place and begins the process of de-calcifying our teeth. In simpler terms, it begins the process of tooth decay.

Now, you may be tempted to say that you know all about tooth decay and the ways to prevent it -- regular tooth brushing, flossing and using fluoride. But despite modern dentistry's best prevention efforts, tooth decay persists as a serious worldwide public health problem. Even in highly developed countries such as the United States, tooth decay remains the most common chronic childhood disease. And it's not just a problem for kids -- estimates suggest that one quarter of the adult population has untreated tooth decay.

The direct cost associated with dental caries is high, and indirect costs such as time lost from school or work and physical inconvenience and discomfort are an additional burden. The newest statistics even indicate an alarming increase in tooth decay rates. Clearly, something more is needed.

That "something more" is Xylitol.

Xlear Product Testimonials

Xlear Nasal Wash
"My 6 year old son has been using the nasal wash faithfully twice a day for six months, even through summer with constant swimming and has not had even one ear infection!

"We were one ear infection away from having tubes put in his ears when we went to the dentist for his normal checkup. They told us about xylitol and the benefits of it preventing cavities. I went to your web site to order and found your nasal wash and decided to give it a try.

"It has worked wonders! We have been antibiotic-free ever since. I have recommended it to numerous people since.

" - Andi K."

XyloSweet
"I have been using xylitol in everything that I make. I have found that everyone thinks that I used regular sugar. I have kept the weight off using xylitol. I had a sugar problem, not from using regular sugar, but it is just something that happened to me. I started using xylitol and I lost from a size 10 to size 6. My weight stays at 125 since I have been using this product. I learned about this product for my alternative doctor. Thanks for such a great product.

"Sincerely,
"Janet W."
