]]> You might think ear infections are reserved only for children, but I assure you that’s not the case. A little water left in your ear from the shower or a trip to the beach is all it takes to spawn one nasty infection. But good news awaits: chewing gum sweetened with xylitol can help reduce your risk of developing an inner ear infection by 40%!

I’ve reported on the merits of xylitol before, and now it seems you can add yet another reason to incorporate this sugar substitute made from the fiber of fruits and veggies into your life. Sounds good to me.

This has been your Healthbolt Easy Health Tip of the Day! That is all.
