Studies indicate that dogs given a whole-food diet when young have fewer yeast infections in the ears and that the incidence of ear infections may decrease as the dogs become older (1).
Additionally, the researchers wanted to understand how xylitol could have this effect on heart health, so they conducted three experiments: fed xylitol to mice, added it to blood and plasma in a ...

Sugar alcohols can be, and often are, produced from renewable resources.Particular feedstocks are starch, cellulose and hemicellulose; the main conversion technologies use H 2 as the reagent: hydrogenolysis, i.e. the cleavage of C−O single bonds, converting polymers to smaller molecules, and hydrogenation of C=O double bonds, converting sugars to sugar alcohols.
