What is Incense by ?

Long before the days of aerosol sprays and potpourri pots, incense was used to stimulate the senses and whisk in a breath of fresh air. Traditionally, incense was an important part of religious ceremony and ritual, used for purification of both body and mind and as an offering to the gods. As time passed, incense became more widely available, no longer reserved for the temple or church, and the art of scenting the home and body was born.

Incense comes in many forms, scents, and potencies. The herbs and oils used in modern incense haven't changed much over the centuries, and fragrances like sandalwood, frankincense, and cedar have survived through the ages and are still available today. Oils are made by processing the raw ingredients, whether they be flowers, roots, wood, or leaves. Today, incense oils are used to anoint the body, just as you would use a fine French perfume. They are also still used in religious ceremonies just as they were in the past.

The most common type of incense is the incense stick. Available in hundreds of aromas, incense sticks are tidy and convenient. The stick itself is normally made from bamboo wrapped with a processed wood pulp that easily absorbs the desired scent. A good stick of incense should burn for about 45 minutes, and no special equipment is needed. Incense sticks can be stuck upright in a bowl of sand or the soil of a potted plant, but many varieties of decorative incense burners are available. Incense is also sold in compact cones that can be burned standing upright on a saucer or other non-flammable flat surface. There are also decorative burners specifically made to hold incense cones.

Incense sticks and cones get their scent by dipping an unscented stick (otherwise known as a 'punk') into a liquid mixture of natural oils and plant products. The sticks or cones are left to soak in this mixture until they are completely saturated with the heady aroma, usually for several days. Some sticks are formed completely of a scented mixture of plants and wood pulp with the scent being dried into the stick itself, but the dipped variety has a stronger, more desirable scent that quickly fills your special space.

Incense is like anything else in today's world of mass-produced and mass-marketed products. With the increase in demand, more and more companies have begun to produce incense at a low price with inferior materials and shoddy workmanship. The most common cost-cutting device is to use charcoal rather than wood pulp in the punk, leading to a stick that burns inconsistently and gives off an ugly black smoke. Another cost-cutting measure is to have the sticks dipped for as short a time as possible, just long enough to soak up the scent. For the best incense experience, look for hand-dipped sticks that are of the same width all the way down with no divots or chunks missing.

Incense sticks and cones come in literally hundreds of fragrance combinations. There are fruity scents, like strawberry and peach, spicy scents, like cinnamon and clove, woody scents, like sandalwood and cedar, and flowery scents, like jasmine and rose. Exotic combinations, made from mixtures of different elements, like a spicy fruity blend or even a spicy, fruity, and woody blend, create complicated layers that permeate the air and leave a room smelling good for hours.

The sense of smell is one of the strongest triggers of emotion and memory, and incense lovers can tell you that there is nothing that soothes the body and the mind like a quality stick of incense. Incense scents are lighter and longer lasting than most spray air fresheners and don't fill the air with a chemical smell, instead leaving you with just a lingering impression that is pleasantly surprising.

A candle for you

A young university student was home for the summer. She had gone to visit
some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their
various experiences of the past year.

She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She
wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived onlya few blocks
away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God" to keep her
safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a shortcut to her house, she decided
to take it.

However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as
though he were waiting for her.

She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around
her,
she felt as though someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and
arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been
raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been
her, she began to weep.

Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided
to go to the police station.

She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The
police
asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could
identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen
in
the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and
confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything
they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one question? Diane was curious as to
why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, Because she wasn't alone. She
had
two tall men walking on either side of her."

Moral of the story:

Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!
Gives ya goose bumps, doesn't it!
This is to all of you who mean something to me,
I pray for your happiness.

What's the big deal about ElimiTaste? Isn't gum all the same?

The simple answer is...No! Gum is like any other product.
There are good and bad gums. We have built our company around manufacturing a premium line of products that is far superior to the competition.

We use expensive, top quality ingredients, and we rely on our growing, and loyal customer base that truly appreciate the ElimiTaste difference.

To understand the difference between ElimiTaste and our competitors (Eclipse, Dentyne Ice, Orbit, Trident White, Ice Breakers, etc.) you may want to understand our company, our strategy, and our philosophy.


These other brands are all owned by 3 major candy companies. They lock up the shelf space at every retailer under the sun. They bombard us with television commercials, famous spokespeople, etc. They then manufacture their gum in the most inexpensive way possible. No one would argue that their strategy is volume. This means a lower quality product. A commodity if you will. While some of the flavors may offer enjoyable taste, the products are simply mass produced to catch a certain percentage of the consumers taste. We don't knock these companies. They do quite well. This just isn't our strategy or goal.

We developed the ElimiTaste line of gum after asking, and listening to you: The Consumer. We realized that even though these companies own aisles and aisles of space, there were, and are, many consumers that wanted more.

Formulating a Sugar Free, and Aspartame Free chewing gum that uses Xylitol exclusively was not an easy task. Our ingredients are far more expensive than the competition. Yet, we have to sell our gum at roughly the same price because that's what customers desire. So, we produce a high quality product, that costs more, and we work on smaller margins.

SmokeScreen is the first gum on the market that actively reduces the aftertaste and bad breath from smoking cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. With 25-30% of the world consuming tobacco products, we recognized the need for a chewing gum that freshens the smokers breath. We have experienced a massive amount of new business from the smoking community that was chewing the other brands simply "because it was at the store." Neither of our chewing gum flavors are short term, cheap cover ups. We offer premium mint flavors and our gum neutralizes bad breath.

The list goes on, but the difference is clear. We're in a competitive market, but we offer quality. We stand behind our products and we have over 1 million (and growing quickly) satisfied customers. So whether you buy the gum online, at a store, or just visit our site or tell a friend: We appreciate it.

Experience the Difference: ElimiTaste.

What is xylitol?
Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol that helps prevents cavities. You may recognize other sugar alcohols used in sugarless products, such as mannitol and sorbitol. Xylitol is the sugar alcohol that shows the greatest promise for cavity prevention. It is equal in sweetness and volume to sugar and the granular form can be used in many of the ways that sugar is used, including to sweeten cereals and hot beverages and for baking (except when sugar is needed for yeast to rise).

How does xylitol prevent cavities?
Xylitol inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause cavities. It does this because these bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) cannot utilize xylitol to grow. Over time with xylitol use, the quality of the bacteria in the mouth changes and fewer and fewer decay-causing bacteria survive on tooth surfaces. Less plaque forms and the level of acids attacking the tooth surface is lowered.
Studies show that Streptococcus mutans is passed from parents to their newborn children, thus beginning the growth of these decay-producing bacteria in the child. Regular use of xylitol by mothers has been demonstrated to significantly reduce this bacterial transmission, resulting in fewer cavities for the child.

What products contain xylitol and how do I find them?
Xylitol is found most often in chewing gum and mints. You must look at the list of ingredients to know if a product contains xylitol. Generally, for the amount of xylitol to be at decay-preventing levels, it must be listed as the first ingredient. Health food stores can be a good resource for xylitol containing products. Additionally, several companies provide xylitol products for distribution over the Internet.

How often must I use xylitol for it to be effective?
Xylitol gum or mints used 3-5 times daily, for a total intake of 5 grams, is considered optimal. Because frequency and duration of exposure is important, gum should be chewed for approximately 5 minutes and mints should be allowed to dissolve. As xylitol is digested slowly in the large intestine, it acts much like fiber and large amounts can lead to soft stools or have a laxative effect. However, the amounts suggested for cavity reduction are far lower than those typically producing unwelcome results.

Has xylitol been evaluated for safety?
Xylitol has been approved for safety by a number of agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the World Health Organization's Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives and the European Union's Scientific Committee for Food.

Xylitol has been shown to have decay-preventive qualities, especially for people at moderate to high risk for decay, when used as part of an overall strategy for decay reduction that also includes a healthy diet and good home care. Consult your CDA dentist to help you determine if xylitol use would be beneficial for you.


Here is what many other respected sources have to say about Xylitol:

Xylitol has the same sweetness and bulk as sucrose with 40% less calories and no aftertaste. In fact, Xylitol is the sweetest of all bulk sugar substitutes. Plus, it has a very pleasant cooling sensation when it dissolves in the mouth making Xylitol a great partner in applications with mint and citrus flavors.

Clinically Proven

In scientific studies over more than 30 years, dental researchers have pointed to a naturally occurring sweetener, Xylitol, as a key ingredient in the fight against tooth decay. Found in natural sources, such as fruits and vegetables, Xylitol is a familiar sweetener in sugar-free products such as chewing gum. Xylitol not only adds a pleasant taste, but also reduces the incidence of tooth decay. Xylitol is a low-glycaemic sweetener and is metabolized independently of insulin. Xylitol does not cause the sharp increase in blood sugar level or the associated serum insulin response, which is usually seen following consumption of other carbohydrates. Thus, Xylitol can be recommended as a sugar-free sweetener suitable for diabetics as well as for the general population seeking a healthier lifestyle.

How Xylitol Fights Tooth Decay

Clinical studies conducted in populations with both high and low cavity incidence show that supplementing a normal diet with regular consumption of xylitol (e.g. sweetened chewing gum > 2 times/day) is of clear benefit to the teeth.

When carbohydrate or sugars are consumed acid is produced in the mouth and the pH drops rapidly below pH 5.7, causing demineralization of tooth enamel and potential cavities. Since xylitol is a five-carbon polyol, oral bacteria do not metabolize it and therefore no acid is produced. When xylitol products are used the pH balance in the oral cavity is quickly returned to a safe level above pH 5.7, minimizing the erosion of enamel and enhancing the remineralization process. The pleasant sweetness also stimulates saliva flow, which helps to rinse away excess sugar residues and neutralize any acids that have been formed.

When xylitol is consumed habitually for several months, the mutans streptococci are shed from plaque to the saliva. Although high numbers may still be found in saliva, they are less virulent and do not adhere as tightly to the teeth, and this means acid attack is not occurring at the tooth surface.

In conclusion, xylitol is both non-cariogenic in that it does not contribute to caries formation and is cariostatic because it prevents or reduces the incidence of new caries. Xylitol actually reduces the amount of plaque and the number of mutans streptococci in plaque. No other sugar substitute has been shown to function in this way.

Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less than one gram of xylitol. Chewing is a natural process and chewing gums provide some exercise lacking in a refined diet. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector.

Because xylitol naturally keeps bacteria from settling on sensitive tissue in the ears, nose, mouth, and throat, it is ideal for prevention of common problems experienced by children and adults alike. Often bacteria really begins working in our mouths shortly after we eat, consuming sugars and producing acids which create dental caries and tooth decay, leaving a cavity close to the gums in the enamel of the tooth. Simply using chewing gum not only with xylitol, but with xylitol as the leading ingredient prevents bacteria from eating at the teeth, keeping your teeth safe between brushes and flosses.

We may not know how much sugar is in everything we eat. Think about breakfast cereal, which is one of the most common breakfast foods for both children and adults. In the rare circumstance a cereal does not contain sugar, we may add it or have sugar in our coffee and tea instead. For the entire day that sugar in our mouths is preyed upon acid-producing bacteria. Even a xylitol natural sweetener will provide the preventative power your mouth needs throughout the day.

XYLITOL and Ear Infections
Since the major cause of ear infections is Strep pneumo, a species of bacteria closely related to Strep mutans, perhaps xylitol would prove effective in preventing ear infections. Researchers from Finland tested this hypothesis and published the results of their investigation in the British Medical Journal (November 1996).

The study included 306 children in day care nurseries, most of whom had a history of repeated ear infections. Half of the children chewed xylitol-sweetened gum (2 pieces, 5 times a day -- after all meals and snacks); the other half chewed ordinary gum at the same frequency. During the 2 months of the study, 21% of the regular gum chewers, but only 12% of the xylitol group, had one or more ear infections. Gum chewing by itself, by promoting swallowing and thus clearance of the middle ear, probably prevents some ear infections. The sugar in the regular-sugar-sweetened gum may have offset this effect by promoting bacterial growth in the children who chewed this ordinary gum. By contrast, in this study, xylitol dropped the incidence of ear infections by almost half!

Here is an abstract from M. Uhari et al., "Xylitol in Preventing Acute Otitis Media," Vaccine, 2000 Dec 8;19 Suppl 1:S144-7

Xylitol is a polyol sugar alcohol and is referred to as birch sugar, because it can be produced from birch. Natural sources of xylitol include plums, strawberries, raspberries and rowan berries. Xylitol inhibits the growth of Streptococcus pneumoniae and it inhibits the attachment of both pneumococci and Haemophilus influenzae on the nasopharyngeal cells. In two clinical trials xylitol was found efficient to prevent the development of acute otitis media with a daily dose of 8.4-10 g of xylitol given in five divided doses. The efficacy in these 2-3 months follow-up trials was approximately 40% when chewing gum was used and approximately 30% with xylitol syrup. The need to use antimicrobials reduced markedly when using xylitol. In a high-risk group of children with tympanostomy tubes xylitol was ineffective in preventing otitis. Xylitol appears to be an attractive alternative to prevent acute otitis media. A more practical frequency of doses should be found before its use can be widely recommended.
