"key enzymes for xylitol digestion from different bacteria can together support the growth of micro-ecology, but they also enhanced the concentration of propionate, which lowered pH to restrict relative amounts of Escherichia and Staphylococcus."

"Based on the cross-feeding and competition among those bacteria, xylitol can dynamically balance proportions of the gut microbiome to promote enzymes related to xylitol metabolism and SCFAs."

@KAnnMaurer @davidasinclair @WHO "Xylitol, a white or transparent polyol or sugar alcohol, is digestible by colonic microorganisms and promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)". https://t.co/ytdStRVOCZ
@winxsagas lol dw this is orthorexic bs. while you may take in excess air chewing gum, it won’t actually do anything bad. and the sweeteners gum uses has no affect on gut bacteria (https://t.co/bKqEyZZAdS)
O xilitol não influenciou significativamente a estrutura do #microbioma intestinal. No entanto, aumentou a síntese de propionato no cólon por meio da alimentação cruzada da microbiota intestinal. #Xylitol https://t.co/aQK33Zr6zU
