I don’t know, I think it’s appropriate. If they just said Xylitol hardly anyone is actually going to know what that is or if it affects them. The title gives people an idea of how common it is and what foods it’s used in, which is more useful information to most people.
Fr. Clickbait is bullshit. I worked at whole foods when Xylitol was first making its way onto the market as a “natural” 0 cal sweetener and I was always skeptical of it and never intentionally bought anything with it in it. I can’t say I’m surprised to see this.
Where I live, xylitol has been a staple for decades and decades. It’s good for mouth hygiene, too. A correlation like in the article would probably show as a perceivable difference in overall strokes of our country’s populace as a whole, comparing to others, if it really was a thing that mattered. Might be, haven’t checked, but pretty sure we aren’t any more prone for that than any others. And here we eat xylitol from child up, usually several a day, after meals as gum (not the sugary candy-like gum, but the one intended to stop the acid attack) or pastilles. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t honestly. I don’t even know if you can get sugar gum anywhere, it’s so ubiquitous to xylitol and mouth hygiene.
So I mean, be suspicious, sure, but I’m pretty sure it’s highly tested and kept tracked here, because it’s a daily thing for everyone basically.
It’s good to be skeptical, but please don’t give this particular article toooo much weight. It’s not a real experiment, it’s just just an observation of correlation which doesn’t prove anything at all.
This website can show you plenty of other things that are extremely highly correlated. It really doesn’t prove anything.
This clickbait bullshit should not be tolerated. The ingredient name in question is only one word, instead of the stupid sentence they used.
It’s xylitol. Shame on every shitbag sellout that decided to not just say that in the headline.

There, best of both worlds.
