Coffee break

Decaf coffee and the last Oreo.

I'm rising bread; I feel badly enough about Emer's teeth that I'm making all the white bread with eggs and calcium-enriched rice milk. I'd feed her chalk if I thought it would help. Eggs and beans and calcium rice milk and brown pasta and brown rice... what else has calcium in it? We're practically letting her eat fluoride toothpaste.

I keep hearing about Xylitol but she's only two. So I'm really not sure. Besides, sweets with Xylitol often have acids and things too.

The side-effects aren't too bad for babies then? I must see if I can find a source.

Never heard of any ill effects, the only one I know of is that it does have a laxative effect if you eat too much, but as long as they don't eat it by the hand full it shouldn't be a problem.

If you like I can send you a some to try? They're not expensive, and you can get them in normal food shops here, or the pharmacy, there are several brands, all a bit different in their consistency and xylitol content.
