I am very excited to announce that I am one of ten bloggers selected to be the 2013 Xlear Brand Ambassador! To kick off this wonderful opportunity, Xlear is sending us to 2013 Xylitol Convention held at the Westin Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico from February 13-17, 2013.
That’s right! I will be saying goodbye to all this snow for five full days of SUNSHINE! I can’t think of anywhere more inviting to learn about all the benefits of Xylitol!
What does this mean for you? For the next year, I will be sharing with you all the amazing products from Xlear.
Who is Xlear?
Xlear, Inc. is recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of xylitol products. Xlear, Inc. is committed to providing consumers with the health benefits of xylitol, a naturally occurring sweetener, by manufacturing all-natural, health-enhancing products. Xlear® Nasal Spray is an award-winning, patented saline and xylitol solution; a complete line of dental health products under the Spry Dental Defense System® brand; XyloSweet®, raw xylitol crystals used as a sugar substitute in cooking, baking and general consumption; and SparX® Candy, a growing line of healthy, xylitol based candies.What is Xylitol?
Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. Xylitol is only slowly absorbed and partially utilized; therefore allowing a reduced calorie claim, 2.4 calories per gram or 40% less than other carbohydrates and none of the negative tooth decay or insulin release effects of sugar. It also has a low glycemic index (7) and has little effect on blood sugar levels. In addition, the body does not require insulin to metabolize xylitol, which has made it a widely used sweetener for the diabetic diet in some countries. In the U.S., xylitol is approved as a food additive in unlimited quantity for foods with special dietary purposes.
What an exciting year this is going to be! Stay tuned to learn more (and enter some fabulous giveaways)!

Great place to learn more about this company. Keep us posted.
This is a very good place to find new info about new products.
Congratulations! I’ve never heard of xlear, can’t wait to hear more. And I’m totally jealous of your mid-winter excursion! I wish I could fit in your suitcase! I’m tired of the cold and snow already! Enjoy!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
Congratulations Melanie – I can’t think of a more delightful (and conducive to learning…) location for a Convention / Conference – nor a finer Ambassador to represent this product line .
I have to admit that I am old enough and somewhat wise enough to be very skeptical about any and all sugar substitutes… I’ve just lived through so many attempts (both noble and nefarious) at creating sugar substitutes that either have an awful aftertaste (or fore) OR terrify you with paragraphs filled with health warnings including such potential side effects as paralysis as DEATH!
So I will gladly look forward to your feedback and ongoing updates – and hope that along the way you have a marvelous time, a little bit of “free” time off to relax and of course, good weather and a safe and enjoyable trip!
Congratulations! I have never heard of this product either, but this certainly sounds like a good time to check it out! Thanks.

Wow, congratulations! And what a great place to go for a conference. Looking forward to hearing more about these products.
I have heard of this as a sweetener but had no idea that there are dental products and nasal sprays! Sounds interesting.
I have heard of Xylitol before but I do not know much about it, it is very interesting. I hope the products turn out to be good. I hope more xylitol products come out in the future
Congratulations! I know Xylitol is in some sugar-free gum, I believe. I hope it is a healthy ingredient. Thanks!
