I recently found this article/advertorial in a health newspaper. It is basically just an informative advertisement. Anyway, Xylitol known for its' effective effects on oral health and better yet a good alternative for sugar 100%. But get this, recent research shows xylitol usefulness in upper respiratory health. Futhermore, the article states that xylitol has a unique ability to interfere with bacterial adhesion. Due to xylitol anti-adhesion effects, bateria is not able to colonize and live fully. This effect on bacteria will wash bacteria away. Plus the anti-adhesion effect does not let the bateria stick to tissue. The article did state that, for bacteria to thrive; they must attach to the cell membrane. I am conclusing that tissue means cell membrance when sticking to tissue.
If the Bacteria is successful with thriving in the cell membrane; then they metabolize and grow into a Biofilm (city of bateria). Also as a result of bacteria, if the body senses bateria; it will response with congestion, runny nose, inflammation, and other reactions. Now with the use of antibiotics in todays world, antibiotics make the bacteria resistant which leads to more issues.
Back in 1996, xylitol's anti-adhesion properties were discovered by accident. Some things are really discovered by accident when the purpose was for something else to be made. But there was this british medical journal published that has done past research on xylitol. In this Study, it found that children who chew on xylitol chewing gum had a 42% fewer ear infections. Also results of the research, found a correlation with upper respiratory and xylitol. Since then the studies support the anti-adhesion of xylitol.
The reasons why xylitol is mention with bacteria is beacuse this is a advertisement of XLEAR, that is a article within its advertisement. Xlear is a nasal spray that clean your nasal passages. It cleans your nasals like washing your hands with soap and not just was washing your hands with water. Washing your hand with water just will not clean your hands fully; this would be similar in that this is a analogy for using nasal spray with saline solution to clean your nose.
When you have a nasal spray that has Xylitol, the bacteria can not stick to tissue within the nose. If bacteria did stick then this will result in a sinus, ear or respiratory infections. Therefore, this article saying that for these infections to start; the nose is where the bacteria begins to travel, which will attempt to get to your cell membrane(s).
(SIDE NOTE): I have not try Xlear. This was just a informative article on the subject of xylitols' applications. I am not responsible for whoever uses Xlear. I will let you know if I do try this product. Use Xlear at your own risk.
