"Programmers who already have some experience in Perl will discover things they didn't know in the chapters that follow, but can nonetheless safely skip this introduction."
I remember thinking that was a bit cheeky. I'm no Perl expert, and I'm sure that there will always be things I could learn, but still: that just felt a little boastful to me.
Well, I hadn't even got half-way through the third chapter before I realized how wrong I was. I kept muttering "Really?" while switching away to test something I just hadn't known before. That surprised me (pleasantly, of course).
I wish I had this when I first picked up the Camel Book. The Camel Book's author's are just too smart and too clever: I didn't understand most of their Perlish puns and witticisms when I first read it, and still find many of them difficult to grasp today. Peter Wainwright, however, puts things out the way I like to learn, with sensible and illuminating examples that really demonstrate what's happening, and he takes the extra time to explain it in plain English too (and that's why there are so many pages in this book).
The danger for someone like me in a book like this is the natural tendency to skip quickly through what you think you already know. If you've been dabbling in Perl for a few years as I have, there WILL be a lot you already know, but as the author promised, there's also plenty that you probably don't. I picked up quite a few useful bits in almost every chapter and have promised myself to go back and re-read to find the things I shouldn't have skipped over.
In the review copy I read, there still were some unfortunate typos that might confuse someone completely new to Perl. I hope those will be fixed before the actual publication. None of them bothered me, but they could be bad for someone starting with no experience at all.
Why? Why couldn't this be the 'Pro' book the title describes. This is hardly pro at all. CPAN is given very short shrift. And in general, it's just a rehash of the topics covered in Programming Perl. And Programming Perl is the definitive source.
I'm really not sure why this book was necessary. It does have a different style than Programming Perl. It's a little less jocular and a little more mechanical. Reminiscent of books on Java, C# and Python. It is well written and illustrated.
I'm giving this four stars because I think it will work better for some folks than Programming Perl. Though I think everyone should start with Programming Perl.
While it is still possible to program using much of early Perl, this book's aim is to educate you as to the new material. Yes, Perl's scope is now impressive. What with a comprehensive regexp, bidirectional pipes, Unicode and more. How much of this to take in from the book is up to you. Thankfully, the chapters seem mostly independent of each other. So at this level, you have random access, which means you don't have to read all of the book. Each chapter, however, has a strong narrative sense of progress. You should read a desired chapter end to end.
A little irony here. Remember claims by some early proponents of Perl that you could skip the complexity of C++'s STL, for example? Or, more recently, to avoid the bulking up of the class packages in standard Java. Perl now has the same symptoms of success.
In Pro Perl, the author takes you through an in-depth analysis of the Perl language from the beginning topics up to advanced topics (including a relatively new one for Perl, Object Oriented programming). Many Perl books have a habit of either showing you the basics, and leaving you yearning for more; or showing you advanced topics that you are left scratching your head wondering "How did they jump from A to Z with no in-between"? In Pro Perl the author has taken an approach of explaining the concepts and walking you through the introduction and leading you to the more advanced topics without breaking it into distinct pieces of beginning, novice, etc. The book can be considered more of a instructional reference manual more than a code-snippet type book, which many programming books are nowadays.
One of the benefits this book offers is that throughout the book there are multiple reference charts and tip sidebars that either give you information on a syntax or available options, or lead you on to find more information elsewhere. Personally, I find the reference charts valuable as the author does not leave you guessing what all the available options or for a particular command or syntax -- in essence, he is opening the door for you to explore further on your own by showing you other possible roads.
This is a great book for those comfortable with programming and new to Perl, or those who have used Perl in the past but perhaps wanted to see what else it could do for them. The only thing lacking from the book is an indexing system on the side. It would have been great if you could have just flipped the book open to the appropriate section when you are on those fast-fact-finding missions.
I think it could be the "the best" Perl book, but it needs serious editing work to get it there.
But, whatever you want to know about the Perl language, you can find -- it's just a matter of wading through the verbiage to get there.

Verbena stricta Seeds
Common Names: Hoary Vervain, Hoary Verbena
This wildflower grows in clumps and its densely packed flowers form tall spikes! Valuable in butterfly gardens, this flower also works well in wildflower fields and meadows! This wildflower is easy to grow and requires minimal care. It will add beauty to any outdoor space. The seeds of Blue Vervain were collected by some Native Americans, roasted and ground into a flour or meal. Central California Miwoks used the seed meal as an extensive food source. A tea made from the leaves was used as a remedy for stomach aches by northern plains Indians.
The tops of this plant persist through the hard northern winter months and provide a limited amount of food to birds.

I am trying to create a generic CacheManager that I can use all over my application which will ensure that all the management of cache items is done in a consistent manner and adheres to some cache access patterns. This will be used to cache all types of objects as necessary.
I understand I can use a delegate to pass in functions to a method, which you can see below.
public static T GetGlobalCacheitem( Func<int ,int , T> populateCacheCall )
string cacheKey = "test";
var cachedObject = CacheFactory<T>.GlobalCache.GetGlobalCacheItem(cacheKey);
if (cachedObject == null)
cachedObject = populateCacheCall();
CacheFactory<T>.GlobalCache.AddGlobalCacheItem(cachedObject, cacheKey);
return cachedObject;
however I have 2 problems.
Most of the functions I want to pass in to populate the cache will themselves have paramaters that they need. As in the above instance this is a method which will take two int paramaters. The first question is how can I also pass in the paramaters that I want the function to be invoked with as they will not be know in this cachehandler, that will be known outside of this. ALso this relates to the next question two, and how can I do this in an approach will work work regardless of the number of parameters the function requires (if any)
The second problem is that a lot of the functions which I will need to pass in to populate the cache items will be varied , in that some will have no paramaters , some will have one , some may have more than one and the types of each of these paramaters are going to vary. So how would I be able to enable this to work without having to define a function with all possible signatures which will cover every possible combination of functions which pay me used.

A micropattern consisting of ultrahydrophobic/ultrahydrophilic surfaces has been successfully fabricated on PET substrates via a multistep dry process. A surface nanotexture is prepared by oxygen plasma etching, and then a hydrophobic layer forms by plasma-enhanced CVD. The surface is then exposed to vacuum UV irradiation through a honeycomb mask to produce hydroxyl groups, and the pattern is formed on the PET surface (see Figure).

Cupric acetate dissolved in methanol was applied for the first time for synthesizing Y-junction carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via catalytic chemical vapor deposition of the methanol solution at 1000–1200 °C. Based on the bamboo structure, which was observed for the first time within Y-junction CNTs, it is suggested that growth of such CNTs may be a result of the fluctuation of external conditions and thus the change of the growth direction of CNTs from melted Cu nanoparticles. Since the process is continuous, the present technique can be easily scaled up for large-scale production.

The decomposition reactions of a metal–organic precursor for CVD of Pd, (Cp)Pd(allyl), on Si substrates with differently terminated surfaces has been studied using XPS. The data show that mixed hydrogen/hydroxyl terminated Si surfaces exhibit the highest activity, for precursor decomposition, followed by the as-received Si surface. Clean, well-defined SiO2 surfaces prepared in UHV exhibit the lowest activity for the Pd precursor decomposition. Based on the experimental data, a hydrogen-assisted decomposition mechanism for the Pd precursor is proposed.

A novel single-source precursor, Bi(CH2SiMe3)3 has been synthesized, characterized, and then employed with ozone in the atomic layer deposition of bismuth silicate films. A constant growth rate can be obtained at temperatures ranging between 250 and 350 °C. The bismuth silicate films so synthesized contain only 0.2 and 0.1 at.-% of carbon and hydrogen, respectively. The as-deposited films were amorphous, and post-synthetic annealing in an atmosphere of N2 or O2 at 400–1000 °C was applied.

Thin films of Ni deposited on Si substrates by CVD in the temperature region 270–310 °C using a Ni(ktfaa)2 chelate precursor are shown to be clustered. The Ni reduction temperature decreases if OH groups are present on the surface. At temperatures higher than 310 °C the carbon-containing by-products are incorporated into deposited Ni films. The chemical activation of Si substrate by Ni atom introduction prior to deposition leads to the uniform film formation with good adhesion to the Si substrate.

Welcome to 'Crimes And Reasons', the long-awaited fourth album by multi-instrumentalist and multi-genius Steve Thorne.
Following his two-album opus 'Emotional Creatures Pt. 1 and Pt.2' and 2009´s critically acclaimed 'Into the Ether', Thorne presents a collection of ten musical gems that again defy the usual categorization.
If 'Crimes And Reasons' were a picture, it would probably be a wide and solid bridge between two shores – a very traditional English landscape, all hedges and green fields on one side, a vibrating, challenging and somewhat puzzling city on the other. Thorne, who cites artists from Bowie to Genesis to Cockney Rebel as influences, is a master of moods and atmospheres. On 'Crimes and Reasons' you´ll find melancholic, intimate gems alongside songs that roar with anger.
A progressive rock artist that is not afraid to shout "Fuck" if the song demands it: "I guess the lyrics are the most important thing", says Steve. "Sometimes they are written incredibly quickly and almost appear before my eyes." But the end product is far more than a series of brief sketches – they're courageous statements of a modern man in a changing society. "Some of it can come over a little bitter and twisted" admits the singer.
No out-dated metaphors. Steve Thorne is clearly a man of our times and aware of real life challenges. That might be the reason why 'Crimes and Reasons' even more than it´s predecessors is pushing the boundaries of progressive rock. Those that had never heard of the 'P' word would probably place Thorne as a singer/songwriter – but with a twist.
Melancholic, but not dull. Accessible, but not easy going. Different, but not just for the sake of being different – Steve Thorne´s "Crimes And Reasons" is an album that will enlighten this year´s spring for the mature progressive rock listener (and his wife as well).
And a little help from his friends! While Thorne sings all compositions, and plays the majority of instruments, he has again managed to put together an impressive list of guest musicians who were happy to help out on 'Crimes and Reasons'. You´ll find Tony Levin´s (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) precise bass playing and Nick D´Virgilio´s (Genesis, Spock´s Beard) superlative drumming, as well as contributions from Martin Orford (ex-IQ) on flute, Gary Chandler (Jadis) on guitar and last but not least the smooth grooves of Bob White.
As always, "Crimes and Reasons" was mixed by engineer and long time collaborator Rob Aubrey (IQ, Spock´s Beard, Pulse).

Skip to comments.Slain millionaire Ronald Vinci wanted to end relationship with accused killer, police say
Posted on 07/06/2011 10:46:10 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement
FORT LAUDERDALE Police say wealthy retired businessman Ronald Vinci wanted to finally end his long-term relationship with his girlfriend.
During a "heated altercation" in the early morning hours of June 28 at Vinci's new multimillion-dollar home, police allege the girlfriend, Catherine Pileggi, unleashed a tremendous fury, fracturing his skull, stabbing him in the chest, slicing his throat and shooting him in the head.
(Excerpt) Read more at sun-sentinel.com ...
"But do you still love me?"
Whew! Talk about overkill.
Going for the crime of passion defense?
Overkill, or just wanting to be sure he died?
But lady, in the movie Kevin Kline survived.
Call Jose? That is what I was going to say!
Yikes. I guess she forgot to tase him and poison him while she was at it.. He picked the wrong one to mess with.
How do we know it wasn't just a coverup for an accidental drowning?
"Ronald Vinci wanted to finally end his long-term relationship with his girlfriend."
One would have to say his convictions where "Point On".
Its really sad ....so many break ups these days.
"Honey....I need to talk to you about something....who are these guys? Just a SWAT team I met a little while ago....anyway, about out relationship...?"
She is 54, losing her looks, probably menapausal, and freaking out.
He decides he doesn't need her crap any more and tells her it's over.
She sees her life crumbling, and she has nothing to lose.....
Makes a bizarre kind of sense, if one is already freaking out.
Somebody please tell this woman that that 60's hippie "hairstyle" doesn't work on a 54 year old woman.
"Guilty" doesn't even begin to describe it.
"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"
As much as it hurts to admit it....Amen!
First thing I'd do is check to see if her name is in his will or any life insurance policies. I'm guessing she is and she didn't want to give him time to make any changes.
>>> Slain millionaire Ronald Vinci wanted to end relationship with accused killer, police say
Mission accomplished. Some people are just hard to please.
Well, it's certainly final anyway. Several times.
I hope she is menopausal. She obviously can't control her PMS.
Love can really bring a depth to your life.
"Honey, all I said was the stew could use a little more spice."
Easy to say in retrospect but this rich old dead dude should have hired a security guard while he was breaking up w miss psycho-beetch here. He should have known she was capable of such violence. I mean she killed him in three different ways
Next time I dream about how much fun it would be to date a wild, edgy girl, I will think of this.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Looks more like suicide to me.
Oh yeah, right! After what she did to the guy?
I'm going to tell her that she looks "marvelous darling!!"
Obviously he had offered too little of a payoff for her liking.
Man, like she lived vicariously through her wealthy husband (and millionaire isn't such a big deal as it used to be, because of inflation). She would have been smarter to swallow her rage for the moment, walk away, and sue for that old fashioned thing, alimony.
I'm sure she wants her trial done in Orlando...
With all the publicity, they'll have to go to Clearwater again for a jury. That way, the defense will be sure to get the "not guilty" verdict because there's no video of this murder, and only "junk science".
The defense will pin it on the handyman. They will villify and smear his character. They will make sure that they lower her seat during the trial so she appears very tiny, fragile, and not capable of such force. The Clearwater jury will be too overwhelmed by actual evidence, and too lazy to take notes. Then the defense can scream during closing that all the state had were "lies, lies, lies", and point to the real killer, that handyman over there!
Note to self:
Avoid emotional clingy women, with adams apples.
"slicing" his throat — don't they mean "slashing" his throat. Did she literally take the throat and slice it into the little pieces?
wowser........a woman killed like this? what is it with FL women?
LMAO.... good one.
"Police say wealthy retired businessman Ronald Vinci wanted to finally end his long-term relationship with his girlfriend."
...and then the fight started.
the dumbing down of America is off to a great start.....the MSM doesn't want real reporters don't forget....they are liberals to the core.
By jove, I think you have solved it. Maybe they could bring in references to the Lindbergh baby kidnapping which, years later, lead to a handy man/painter.
That old saw about, "There is no fury like a woman scorned." is just that, and old saw. No truth to it at all, as long as we ignore the many ex-wives we have had and known.
They found a bloody Vegematic at the scene.
Really now women do not lose their looks at 54. Men go downhill after 50 and god knows what he looked like and how much Viagra he needed.
I made the comment about "losing looks" based on the photo of the woman involved, not her age per se. Please consider the two phrases as not necessarily linked in general.
FWIW, I'm 59, and so far have aged fairly well, praise be. My female friends are in that same age bracket, and some have aged gently, while others are in rougher shape and starting to break down. The woman in question here looked (from the poor resolution photo) like she is getting pretty brittle.
And yes, the fellow at 70 is likely in rough shape as well.
Nevertheless, I suspect he found himself a younger woman, got tired of this one, or both; either of those cases could be the real reason this one flipped her lid.
Okay, let's rephrase that: a rich 50-year-old man, or even a rich 70-year-old, generally has no problem getting a cute 20-something woman to share his bed (case in point, Hugh Hefner). A 50-something woman very-much-less chance of attracting a wealthy sugar-daddy.
And BTW, I'm older than him, and have no need for Viagra, thank you very much.
She was with him for 20 years, so I can understand her being very pissed off (not THAT pissed). And he was more than just "millionaire", in that the article noted he had owned several auto dealerships, had "yachts, jets and a motorcycle collection". You don't own multiple jets with just a single million.
He was stupid to not have a security guy close by.
I meant to say, older than 54, not older than 70.
What was that dude thinking?
Love is blind to a one eyed snake. In this case, a blind one eyed snake. Yuck...
Good for you. I'm younger than him and I just bought two bathtubs for the backyard overlooking the lake.

Xylitol: Should We Stop Calling It Natural?
The name should've tipped me off.
It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like "meadowlark" or "chamomile" or "cottonwood." Not particularly authentic-sounding, that xylitol.
But my box of xylitol sweetener said "natural" all over it. And each individual packet told me "safer than sugar." Not to mention, the brand I had is made right here in good old Colorado. Where even the car exhaust takes itself to be recycled.
So I pulled out a packet. One tiny packet. And I put it in my cup of coffee, completely oblivious to the nightmare that was about to ensue.
To save you the gory details, let me just give you a few key concepts and you can put it all together:
- half a cup of coffee
- crippling stomach cramps
- an hour in the bathroom
- severe dehydration
- post traumatic sweetener disorder
It wasn't until later that I noticed a warning, tucked right at the very end of the paragraphs talking about how healthful and natural xylitol is, that said:
So, xylitol is known to cause stomach problems and diarrhea if used in large amounts. There are plenty of studies that confirm this, but it's always worded in ways that make it seem like you'd have to eat your weight in xylitol to be affected.
And, you know, even ingesting too much water can kill you. So just because I had a severe reaction after just a teensy tinesy bit doesn't mean it's not natural, really. Right?
And just because the FDA had to issue a warning stating that it can kill your dog (or ferret) … that doesn't mean it's not natural, either. (Remember chocolate and dogs?)
But, of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I had to research. I had to talk to chemists. I had to break the spell that xylitol is apparently putting over so much of the natural foods industry.
Here's what I found out.
Xylitol: Does This Sound Natural?
My initial Google search for "xylitol" and "safe" took me straight to this Natural News article that states:
Xylitol is a processed sugar. After being hydrogenated and having toxic chemicals added to xylan from corn or other plant material, and then removed, you get xylitol.
I love Natural News with all my heart, but sometimes they can be a little bit over the top. A little bit sensational. Kind of a drama queen.
Given the huge rash of xylitol ads I've seen recently, along with what I can only assume is a push by the Xylitol Overlords to "health bloggers" to promote their "all-natural, insulin-regulating, super-sweetener" by way of 5000 blog posts in a month, I had to look into it more.
Maybe, just this once, Natural News was wrong.
My Chat With The People's Chemist, Shane Ellison
So I reached out The People's Chemist Shane Ellison, author of Over-the-Counter Natural Cures. He also happens to have a master's degree in organic chemistry. He knows what he's talking about. Big words. Fatty acid chains. Things like that.
I trust him.
First question, "Can you tell me a little bit about how xylitol is produced?"
And Shane Ellison, Organic Chemist, replied: "Xylitol is a molecular cousin to sugar and is derived from the crushed fibers of sugar cane […birch wood or corn…] using a multi-step chemical reaction that involves the use of sulfuric acid, calcium oxide, phosphoric acid and active charcoal. The end product is a a bleached, powdery blend of sugar alcohols that taste sweet on the tongue but are not absorbed by the body."
Hmmmm, I thought. That sounds fishy. But maybe not so bad. After all, I haven't a clue just what sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid does to the molecular structure of this stuff.
(And then I felt really smart for thinking the words "molecular" and "structure" together.)
So I sent him another email, and asked: "Given all the chemical processes needed to turn natural xylitol into what we consume as a sweetener (or in gum), in your opinion, can it really be considered a natural product?"
Guess what he said?
Shane Ellison, Organic Chemist, replied: "I don't consider anything natural if it's processed with man-made chemicals."
He said, "Xylitol will rip up your insides, namely the digestive tract. It's being touted as a natural product, most likely so that it can bypass regulation. Thus, very little studies exist on its side effects."
To further this assertion, he pointed me to the Danisco site, a European company nearly wholly responsible for the creation and supply of xylitol, or what Shane called a "Franken-chemical." (From their website: "Danisco is the world's leading supplier of xylitol.")
Danisco actually happens to be a part of DuPont. DuPont, as you may remember, was sued several years ago by the EPA for covering up – FOR YEARS – the scientific evidence that PFOA, a substance in Teflon, is highly toxic, a carcinogen, and disrupts reproductive processes.
So pardon me if I don't have a lot of trust in a company who's manufacturing questionable sweeteners and has that kind of track record.
Echoes of HFCS
You may have noticed that I haven't included any of xylitol's purported health benefits, the claims that it's great for dental health, or regulating blood sugar, or anything of that kind.
At this point, I'm not debating those things. Frankly, I don't care. (I clearly can't consume it anyway, unless I enjoy long-lived trips to the bathroom.)
What bothers me – what ALWAYS bothers me – is when companies (or governmental regulatory bodies, even) tout something as natural, when its sole ability to exist in the way we consume it as a supplement is based on wholly unnatural, synthetic chemical processes.
It's very reminiscent of another industry recently begging and pleading us to believe their product is natural. High-fructose corn syrup, anyone?
Now for the kicker.
A great amount of the xylitol that's released for consumption (whether it be in gum, in food products, or in bulk that we buy to cook and sweeten with) is made from corn.
How far of a stretch is it to wonder if the Corn Refiners Association finally came to the realization that the public would never get on the high-fructose corn syrup bandwagon ever again? How in the world will they recoup those losses?
What's the logical next step for them?
And if you think your xylitol made from birch (which is rare and expensive these days) is better, from a chemistry standpoint, it is structurally the same. Other than the fact that it's not genetically modified, like the corn might be. It does, however, contribute to deforestation.
Can Someone Else PLEASE Tell This Story?
Hello? Media?
I am not a hard-hitting journalist. I am a sometimes-humorous, sometimes-bossy, always-humble blogger who writes about putting food on your face.
Not that you shouldn't take me seriously. You can, but only if it makes you happy.
There is just SO little information out there that isn't sponsored by the xylitol companies and industry. SO little information out there that's purely investigative.
Can someone who IS a hard-hitting journalist please do something about xylitol? There's a juicy story just waiting to be told. Wouldn't you agree?
How Do YOU Feel About Xylitol?
Has this changed any feelings you may have about the wunder-sweetener?
What IS your sweetener of choice, if not xylitol?
(Also, one last thank you to Shane Ellison for all his help and encouragement, as well as the great work he puts into on his own site – The People's Chemist – where you can watch his PC Reality TV Clips and read his knowledge-packed blog.)
Well, it's been TWO YEARS almost to the date since I wrote this post, and the comments just keep coming in.
If you stopped by to leave a negative comment, let's just get this out of the way: Yes, I know your thinking skills are so much more logicalistic criticaltastic than mine are. Yes, I know you think I'm an idiot. No, I don't want fries with that.
There is one redaction I'd like to make, and it's this: The title should have said "Xylitol: Can we stop calling the way we produce it and consume it natural."
Because, yes, I am aware (and I was when I wrote it) that our bodies (and many living things) contain "xylitol." Poor choice of title there, and I know it gets your knickers in a twist.
But just because our bodies produce something doesn't mean it's prudent to extract it en masse from living organisms (using questionable synthetic processes) and then ingest it willy nilly. At least, perhaps it's not prudent for many people. As you can tell, plenty of people have the same issue I had. And plenty of people will feel solace at knowing they're not alone, and exactly WHAT it was that caused it.
I can't say what's right for you. You get to choose. And good for you for thinking your decision through critically to come to a different conclusion than I did, but I can promise you I'm not stopping by your blogs to call you names.
Here's the deal: This is my blog. MY blog. My home. I pay hosting fees. I poured my heart and soul into this blog for years. What doesn't get to happen is for you to come in and call me names. That just doesn't fly. So if you leave a negative comment, dripping with sarcasm and self-righteous indignation, or call me names, it WILL disappear.
Again, let me restate this: It has been TWO YEARS since I wrote this post, and I am NOT some crazy "let's take xylitol off the market and I'm going to protest it and make everyone hate it" kind of person. In fact, I haven't said more than two words about xylitol in nearly two years. If anyone's propagating negativity at this point, it ain't me.
I have nothing further to say about xylitol – ever. I have nothing further to say about this post. What I said, two years ago, I said. I have zero interest in or passion for discussing this further.
If you're all riled up and want to talk about how stupid I am, or if you're a representative for a xylitol company who wants to defend your company's product (and yes, IP know you're out there), there are MANY other outlets on the internet just for that. I recommend starting with www.wordpress.com. Setting up your own blog is really super duper easy.
Thanks for understanding. :)

Well, I decided to try out Xylitol because it was recommended for Candida sufferers (those with Candida overgrowth). I did not like the name because it sounded like medicine but the word 'natural' was on the bottle, so I tried it. Big mistake! My symptoms of Candida overgrowth actually worsened! My trimethylaminuria was triggered and went into overdrive. I am already on a very strict diet so I was flabbergasted, thinking that I had to eliminate another of the few foods that I eat. Then it struck me that it could be the new sweetener, Xylitol, I was trying. I wish I had friends like yours but I was satisfied with my online research. You are absolutely correct and I am grateful to you for pointing out that it is not absorbed by the body. I believe that.
Vitamin C is chemically extracted and processedd, and is still very good for you. Xylitol is also a lot healthier than sugar. Mind you, sugar is actually healthy if consumed in proper amounts. Evolution made you desire sugar because your body needs it, but that's beside the point.
If you're not used to xylitol, it may very easily cause the effects described in the article -which may actually be beneficial in some cases.
The point is, manufacturing methods have nothing to do with healthiness.
You cant say "Evolution made you desire sugar because your body needs it". We desire fast food and junk food, but that is simply because it is addicting. Sugar is known to be addicting. A lot of other things are addicitng as well, and they are very harmful and kill people daily, yep those include drugs. Just because we dsire something doesnt mean our bodies need it. I also disagree that manufacturing methods have nothing to do with healthiness. Everything is made up of chemicals, including our bodies. Those chemicals have to be in balance, otherwise we get sick. That is why "whole foods" are so important, they contain a natural balance of chemicals. Once humans start subtracting and adding chemicals, that balance has now been destroyed. As much as we try and as much as we sacrifice, we can never even hope to create something as balanced in structure as something directly from nature, whole in perfect form and That is evolution.
I agree.
Its chemically extracted. End of Story.!
No longer natural
No longer good for you
Its just processed crap
"Because, yes, I am aware (and I was when I wrote it) that our bodies (and many living things) contain "xylitol." Poor choice of title there, and I know it gets your knickers in a twist. But just because our bodies produce something…"
Great write. One clarification that's critical: The human body and plants do not naturally contain manufactured Xylitol. What exists in nature and our bodies is the natural plant-like sugar, Xylose = an essential glycan.
Thank you Sol. I'm so happy to hear a sci-guy make that distinction. My brother, rest his soul, once justified to me his morning ritual of chocolafying his already sugared breakfast cereal with the "chocolate's natural" argument. I replied that so was hydrochloric acid but I wouldn't put a spoonful in my tea. Not a popular viewpoint in the 80's. But commodification doesn't allow for such distinctions, because it muddies the profit pool. If we haven't learned to question everything sold by now, well . . . . Anyhow, thanks. Better late this comment than never. And thank you too Ms. Betty. Stick to your guns. We do still have a modicum of free speech left. Well, almost.
Ps. I think the title: 'Xylitol: Should We Stop Calling It Natural?' is spot on and well ahead of it's time Bravo!
Well done. Excellent article. I am very impressed with your research skills and writing skills. I wish I could pH test this product to see how it is as pH is everything.
Please can you tell me who wrote this blog post. I love the way she writes and would love to read more from her. Please can you send me a link to her blog. Thanks
I am so very grateful for this article! I was getting ready to use a product for Candida and will not touch it now due to the Xylitol in it. If it is processed this way and can harm my insides more, I would not chance it, or believe it was related to die off symptoms if using it. Thank you SO MUCH! I am so glad to see other do research and question the "so called" natural new fangled products that are always popping up and making health claims.
A Great Fact written article thank you. You will always get Gov. paid shills spreading their disinformation and discrediting any one or thing that talks sense – its their job! but the Facts are still the Facts Yet the sheeple follow these fools blindly. I admire and respect you for having an opinion that differs from the norm and I salute you for speaking the Truth.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this article!!
Long story short, I just switched from Crest toothpaste (to avoid SLS + fluoride) to a very natural toothpaste. Thankfully they offer an unsweetened flavor, but the rest of them have xylitol in them. Was looking for some quality research on what the heck xylitol is, especially because a lot of people are saying it's safe – and here I am. I had a gut feeling it was not the best thing to consume, but thanks for some evidence to back that up.
Hi, I found the xylitol article fascinating. Did you know its one of the ingredients in Teetha babies teething gel? Another ingredient is ethanol which is an alcohol process of biofuels, made from the fermentation of sugars, and is produced using grains, grasses, wood waste and even garbage!
I think that instead of saying 'may cause side effects', they should say 'could possibly help but hey, there's no guarantees!'
It was interesting reading anyway so thanks for that.
I'm working on my blog about homeopathy (on the plus side) so reading yours has taught me loads.
Actually, xylitol is completely natural existing and appearing in nature. As is sulfuric acid. With a hoodoo mindframe, even salt is the MOST horrendous thing! (Ever learn about the process of iodination!?)
I was just searching online to buy more xylitol (I only add it to coffee a few times a month) when I saw your post. Thanks! I did have an upset stomach every time but since it wasn't too serious and I didn't use it often, I thought it was still better than sugar. I'm not buying it any more. I wish the food industry wasn't so disgustingly corrupt. As for the rude replies, there have always been and will be in the future all kinds of ill-bred people, who use internet anonymity to show their worse. That's why I don't have any pics or personal info on Facebook or other sites – I just don't have enough health to endure the aggressiveness and spiritual ugliness of poorly brought up strangers.
There are always ways to have a discussion and not just say hateful words! I like reading what you have to say and I still use xylitol in my toothpaste currently. This being stated, I still think if you have any information you would like to share with your readers, even if you were to re-visit xylitol in the future, you should!
Keep sharing!
I appreciate your article on xylitol very much. I don't get why people are so clueless and mean. That being said, if you don't know what something is and just blindly consume it, well it's your health. I for one am grateful for the info so I can make an informed decision.
I would like to thank you for posting all of the information about Xylitol. I like Xylitol and it does not upset my stomach, but I like to know things like how it is manufactured and by whom as a lot of that kind of information is not always accessible. I appreciate seeing someone else's perspective as well. Kudos.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've recently begun a candida diet (not _the_ candida diet), and have been struggling with sugar. I am an avid baker, and have been trying to find alternatives to sugar (and more so, my true addiction, honey). I've tried stevia, and honestly if I put even 1 more drop of stevia in my mouth I think I will puke. And yes, I have pure, no additives liquid stevia. Nasty stuff. I have going back and forth with trying xylitol, and have been put off by the name, that alone seems chemically, and the possible digestive problems. After reading your post, I will stay well clear of it. Typical Dupont and gmo corn rearing their ugky heads yet again. I think I may try yacon syrup, I've heard good thibgs about it, although I have not researched it yet..that's next in my agenda!
In order to enjoy stevia, you MUST stir it in well. I use the NOW Better Stevia Original, and as long as it is stirred in well, it tastes great! Sugar is NOT a nutrient, it is a poison. Use limited amounts of liquid stevia if you must, if not learn to enjoy the flavors and taste of real whole food!
This article itself did not change my mind. But it DID confirm my suspicion that xylitol is responsible for my digestive tract woes of late. Every time I eat candies or chew gum sweetened with xylitiol, my digestive tract goes wonkers. It's good to know I'm not alone.
Well hello. This is an interesting and informative article. I just purchased some xylitol chewing gum. I chewed three pieces and swallowed the juices that came out of it. I feel OK. No upset stomach. Everybody's different. Some obviously cannot stomach the stuff, apparently. That's too bad.
I tried some NOW brand xylitol sugar several years ago but returned it when I found out it was made with GMO corn. I don't buy GMO. Anyways, I got an ebook recently on how to reverse tooth decay and this was one of the recommendations. Apparently xylitol kills certain bacteria in the mouth that cause plaque. I think it's a great idea really. Only thing is the gum is a little pricy.
I actually got online to try and find a source for birch xylitol powder in bulk and sure enough it's available. Its even less expensive than I thought it would be. So that's a plus. I was also thinking that for some people, if they just use it for the reason of fighting dental caries, that it could be used as a mouth wash after brushing and spit out so as not to swallow it. That seems to make sense if one wanted to use it for this specific function as opposed to a simple sugar substitute.
I would not use corn xylitol unless it was made in the USA from organic corn. If apparently it could be made from actual sugarcane that would be even better. It seems like sugarcane should be a much more sustainable source. But maybe the sugar industry is not ready to let xylitol take a cut out of its profit margin. The fact that xylitol is produced through an involved chemical process is a little disconcerting however I personally don't feel very bothered by the fact. If people realized how much stuff in processed foods and synthetically produced vitamins was also chemically derived, they might realize that the comparison is relative.
Certainly xylitol could be considered more natural than aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose simply by the fact that it's a substance that occurs in nature. The reason that it's chemically manufactured is that this is obviously the only economically viable way to mass produce the substance that allows companies to turn a profit on it. But perhaps the next step up from birch xylitol is a version produced from sugarcane through some kind of more naturalistic method not involving the use of industrial acids.
In response to those who are bothered by the name what I can say is that it's actually not a chemical name. If know the root latin words that create the word xylitol you will see. Several other sugar alcohol analogs have the same suffix 'itol', in their names such as mannitol, sorbitol, and erythritol. These are all commonly added to many types of processed foods and may also be produced chemically. However the physiological effects produced by other sugar alcohols on the human body are obviously not going to all be the same.
I am actually intrigued by the name xylitol because it reminds me of the word xylophone. Interestingly enough, both word stem from the same Greek root word 'ξύλον' or 'xylon' (Eng. lit. trans.) meaning "wood". The relation is that the xylophone is a traditionally a wooden instrument that makes sound or 'phōnē' from the Greek word φωνή. So a xylophone is a 'wood-sounder' and xylitol is a 'wood'-itol'- or wood-sugar-alcohol'. Interesting. Not so scary after all. By the way, I have no connection to the industry, I'm just an academic researcher.
Peace Out!
Sounds a bit like that story when they made a product to fatten turkeys actually killed them instead..so they invented margarine to get their investment back. We should probably Just eat plums corn and vegs. My sister lost weight is why I looked into it.
Thank you for taking the time to research this with your contact. I was led astray as well, but just didn't have peace about this "natural" magical substance that is the answer to everyone's dreams….as it kills us? No thanks. And for the people who attacked you, please don't let that stop what you do, because it is important and a lot of people care. I am one. What you said was completely respectful. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech seem to old fashioned values these days. I apologize for those immature human beings….and if it makes you feel any better I was flipped off at the grocery store for pulling into a parking spot rather than reading the drivers mind on the other side who wanted me to back out for her so she didn't have to back up like everyone else and drive away. UNBELIEVABLE how wacked people can be! Probably all the xylitol they are eating!
I've just read a recipe on 'Wallflower Girl' suitable for vegans and it contained Xylitol which I've never used. And now I will never use it. I tend to use Stevia in plant form which I grow in a pot or Sweet Cicely also grown in a pot. I add leaves to whatever I'm doing – I pull them out before using whatever I've cooked or in drinks. These leaves or sprigs don't cause me any problems and I have huge problems with allergies.
Hi ;
I found your article on xylitol very interesting. I've had a weight problem and wanted to find an alternative to sugar. I will throw out the remainder of my xylitol but can you suggest a healthy low carb alternative ?
Thank you
Can anyone tell me if the Xylitol they use in toothpaste is processed or is it in the natural form?
I have been having terrible gas and bloating, and have also been consuming a lot of Xylital. Now I know why, or at least partially why. Thank you for posting this important information! It really helps.
I enjoyed reading your article on xylitol. I have been contemplating using it as I am trying to reduce carbs in my diet. I appreciate your asking questions and it is spurring me on to further investigate. Your blog has been a fantastic starting point for me.
So, what was your motivation for using xylitol over refined sugar? I'm curious what you use now to sweeten your coffee… I need more suggestions of acceptable, natural, healthy alternatives.
Thanks so much! Julie
Thank you for this information. I was searching what xylitol was in children's toothpaste before I made the purchase. Thanks for this post.
Thanks for the post ! We are on a systemic candida diet 3 weeks in and both my little people have diarrhea – coincidence that Im using Xylitol as recommended by naturopath or ?? Thanks again will avoid it for a while n see if symptoms clear up x jess
I was using xylitol and my cat jumped up and licked ever so slightly a little from my bowl when I quickly grabbed her. $1200 dollars later with a vet bill and a very close call with her life, I had to ask myself, if such a small amount of something like this almost killed my cat, what is the impact on me? That was it. No more xylitol for me. I stick with stevia now.
So, I made peanut butter cookies for my sugar sensitive girlfriend. The original recipe is 1-cup peanut butter, one-cup sugar and one egg. It is a flourless cookie recipe. I figured on substituting the sugar for an artificial sweetener and using non-sweetened, pure peanut butter (palm oil free even).
First, I made a small batch with sugar. They were tasty but excessively sweet. Next, I tried Splenda but they came out way too sweet, brittle and airy. Finally, I tried Xylitol. My girlfriend loves the stuff in her tea; claiming it has zero after-taste like other artificial sweeteners, and it is natural.
Well, I ate four cookies with the Xylitol (about the size of a standard commercial cookie) the first night. Within a few hours, I had some bothersome bowel issues though nothing too major. I never even thought about the Xylitol until the next day. I had three more cookies. Lo and behold, a few hours later, more aggressive bowel issues plagued me. So, I googled: "Xylitol gave me the runs" and guess which website my search revealed.
In all truth, I've had Xylitol numerous times in tea and coffee but never in such quantity all at once as with these cookies and it really wasn't that much more Xylitol… but it was obviously just enough. So, is this stuff natural? Hardly. Is it harmless? Don't bet on it.
Just used Xylitol for the 1st time in a brownie recipe and the brownies low carb are great but the stomach cramps going for the 3rd hour are not great at all. Last time I will use it. Thank for the article, was looking up a way to stop the cramps and found it.
For centuries manufacturers have created and marketed stuff to make money. It is the making of money that is the driving factor not whether the product was necessarily good for our well being. People have been too unaware or simply too easily fooled. We are all to ready to be taken on a ride to the next trend. In the late 19th century a particular green became the trendy must have thing. It was used in wallpaper pigments eventually people started getting sick and dropping dead. Even though manufacturers knew it contained arsenic the colour was so popular and THE must have thing according to the who's who in society it was ignored and the marketing proper gander continued, It was making someone a lot of money. Finally it was taken off the market when peoples awareness to the dangers of arsenic and off gassing. The same thing with cola's (sugar drinks), it was recommended to mothers to start there children on it early telling them they were giving there children a better start to life and that they NEEDED it. It made someone and still is – a LOT of money.
Here are some more examples of marketing and trends being peddled, found in old advertisements with slogans to encourage people to buy products. "DDT is good for me" and one that claims "Use sugar to help kerb your appetite. And one to help you during the fat time of day, "a sugar drink now with save me a lot of calories later", and "sugar can be the willpower to help you under eat". another one saying "3 teaspoons of sugar has less calories than and apple", How about DDT wallpaper for the kids rooms to keep them safe from insects. Or DDT in the fly spray you spray around the house. Here is one "red river potato mix with DDT for better results".
As I switched to low carbing I purchased a bag of your Xyla. I thought a great way to cut sugar out of my family's diet. So I decided to make some koolaid with Xyla . For two litres of red cool aid I used 6 tsp of Xyla I set it in fridge to chill and await the results. I had about a three ounce glass and was amazed at how great it tasted… I went about my merry way and was getting ready for bed and took a shower . Well I had this disturbing gas pain and passed wind and shit water on the floor. Now -good thing I didn't give it to the children – as they would have the embarrassment of shitting themselves at school ! Wow I would rather become a diabetic and eat real sugar than suffer such bonkers symptoms.
Please put larger warnings on such embarrassing inducing products.

I have found using xylitol in a sinus irrigation solution very helpful in limiting infections. I make my own solution by the quart and keep it in a plastic bottle. The solution is made up of 1 quart filtered and boiled water. While still warm I add 1.5-2 tsp. kosher salt, 1 tsp. baking soda, and 1 tsp. xylitol. I added the xylitol based on the information that bacteria can ingest xylitol but cannot eliminate it. When they cannot process normal sugars in their energy cycle they will die. Ref: https://authoritynutrition.com/xylitol-101/ Neti potting once or twice a week is a great way to maintain sinus health.
Hi! Thank you so much for the post, it really heplped me. Over the years I've reduced any intake of candy or packaged cookies/biscuits/cakes because I started noticing side effects to the food colorants, sweeteners and preservatives (headaches, getting angry, sad and anxious for no aparent reason). The other day I started taking a food suplement (a relative's store was closing and some stuff was handed to me) that contained xylitol as one of the ingredients. I've been having a mild but constant headache since I started taking that and I've now decided to stop. I had been able to reduce headaches and sinus-like pain on my face since I stopped drinking milk but now, apparently thanks to xylitol, they're back. So, bye bye stuff with xylitol!
I cannot eat any of this terrible stuff without having acute GI distress. I don't think a scoop of ice cream has that much xylitol in it but that's enough to knock me for a loop. It's very upsetting when workers tell you their ice cream is sweetened with Splenda then come to realize within 30 minutes if that is entirely untrue. I can't eat no sugar added ice cream from most ice cream shops which apparently do not realize their ice cream is laced with completely unnatural garbage.
[…] It's unfortunate that although sweet is our "go-to taste" for comfort, most things that taste sweet are actually making us sick. There are many reasons why we should avoid refined sugar like the plague. Sugar is linked to type-2 diabetes, it's bad for our heart and our overall immune system, to name a few. According to Dr. William Davis, cardiologist and author, the best sweeteners for our health are stevia (I prefer pure liquid form as I find the powder to be more bitter), monk fruit (lo han guo) and xylitol.I am not a huge fan of xylitol because it is processed. […]
[…] Now, let me be clear: xylitol itself does not grow on trees, it is made in a lab – traditionally from birch and more often from corn. (source) […]
[…] the fact that its a white as white can be powder made me a little suspicious. Then I came across this article, which delves into how xylitol is processed and where it comes from (spoiler: its […]

We challenged vendors to submit products to satisfy a wide range of DLP needs for midsize and large organizations, including robust endpoint protection, agentless data discovery, quality reporting and alerting, threat detection, and mitigation, along with centralized management and policy distribution. Symantec DLP-9 delivers an impressive array of features in each category.
Starting At The End
Symantec DLP-9 has three core modules: Endpoint DLP, Network DLP, and Storage DLP. Policies can be defined, distributed, and reported on centrally via the Enforce Server, Symantec's Web-enabled management platform.
The DLP-9 Endpoint agent is a relatively small client, around 25 MB. When a user is off the corporate network but still online via a home or public Internet connection, or if you haven't deployed the network components of the DLP suite, the endpoint agent enforces policy so that users can't expose sensitive data through actions such as attaching a document with sensitive information to Web mail or copying and pasting protected content to a Web site.
The agent takes a different approach to enforcement compared with other products we've tested, and it's not necessarily better. Rather than wrapping policy around physical ports on an endpoint, policy is applied to the data you want to protect. For example, you can't shut down a USB port on a given endpoint completely, but you can prevent confidential data from being copied to removable media. This allows for greater flexibility for end users, because they can use their USB ports for legitimate business needs, while the policy engine stops unauthorized copying of sensitive information. However, this setup puts the onus on IT to identify and fingerprint sensitive files and documents and then ensure the appropriate polices are in place on all endpoints.
This is not a one-time operation and will require ongoing effort, particularly for large or distributed enterprises and those companies with a significant population of mobile workers. To help alleviate this issue, Symantec provides for broad policies to identify data types, such as Social Security numbers, that shouldn't be allowed to be copied to removable media.
The only weak link we see on the endpoint is that Symantec's ability to detect various peer-to-peer protocols is port based, so you'll need to rely on upstream security devices to detect and block P2P apps using a signature-based detection engine. We'd also like to see more physical-layer control, such as the ability to completely disable USB/Firewire ports and other removable media devices. Built-in encryption and robust application control capabilities would also be welcome. Those features can be had by licensing Symantec Endpoint Encryption separately, but we'd like to see them merged into the agent.
DLP-9 met every challenge in our Rolling Review of comprehensive data loss prevention suites
Symantec's componentized architecture lets IT shops license and deploy various DLP features on an à la carte basis.
Enterprises pick their own hardware, and the software maintains impressive scalability.
With a list price starting at $25,000, DLP-9 is aimed at midsize and large enterprises.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

The Dow was up 70-80 points in afternoon trading, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq also were making gains. The price of oil edged down from $112 a barrel overnight and was trading around $110. The latest employment figures from the government show the improvement in the job market is widespread. The Labor Department says unemployment rates fell in two-thirds of the nation's largest metro areas in July. The nationwide unemployment rate fell to a 4 ½-year low of 7.4 percent last month as employers added 162,000 jobs. A plaintiffs' attorney says hundreds of black financial advisers have reached a $160 million settlement in a lawsuit accusing Wall Street brokerage giant Merrill Lynch of racial discrimination. Merrill Lynch says it's "not commenting on the existence" of a settlement, but attorney Suzanne Bish says it involved some 1,200 plaintiffs and represents one of the largest settlements ever in a racial discrimination case. A federal judge has rejected BP's latest request to suspend settlement payments to Gulf Coast residents and businesses while an independent investigation is conducted of the program that compensates victims of the company's 2010 oil spill. The judge's order says an internal probe by the claims administrator's office didn't find credible evidence of fraud. A research firm says Motorola's new Moto X phone doesn't cost more to make simply because it's assembled in Texas. The Moto X is the first smartphone to carry the "Made in the U.S.A." designation. Researchers at IHS say that overall cost for parts and labor for the Moto X is about 5 percent cheaper than Samsung's Galaxy S4, though it's 9 percent more expensive than Apple's iPhone 5.
