High blood levels of xylitol associated with higher risk of major cardiovascular events, in largest study of its kind.

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol present in some natural foods in very low amounts. It is also added – often in amounts 1,000 times higher – to artificially sweeten foods, beverages and oral care products.

Furthermore, the researchers showed that there was consistent increase in cardiovascular events with xylitol irrespective of baseline characteristics, such as age and s*x.

This study is a reminder that we all need to reduce our intake of processed foods and drinks that are often high in sugar, salt or sweeteners, and focus on a balanced diet to help protect our hearts.

A 30-year study of people in Norfolk suggested a link between cardiovascular problems and blood levels of xylitol, which is also commonly found in toothpaste

Different Contexts. Common Aspirations. 💙
Happy International Youth Day! 🎒🌎

Every young person has a different story.

Different families. Different backgrounds. Different challenges. Different dreams.

But beneath those differences are aspirations we all share—to feel understood, stay healthy, have someone to turn to, and have the opportunity to build a brighter future.

Young people don't just need care when they're sick. They need adults who listen, encourage them, believe in them, and make them feel safe asking for help. ❤️

🎒 School & Sports Physicals
🩹 Minor Injury Care
🌡️ Fever & Illness Care

Today, take a moment to check in with a young person in your life. Listen. Ask. Encourage. Support. Sometimes, knowing someone is there can mean more than we realize. 💙

We know they are still very young, but safety training starts early!

You don't need to teach them complex medical skills—just simple, actionable rules that build confidence if an emergency happens:

📞 1. Call Emergency Services: Teach them how to access the emergency keypad on your smartphone and practice repeating their home address or full name.

🗣️ 2. Tell a Trusted Adult: Instruct them to immediately alert a teacher, a neighbor, or the nearest parent if someone is hurt or unconscious.

🩹 3. Leave it to the Grown-ups: Teach them that if a friend is hurt, their job is to go get help immediately, not try to move them.

🧼 4. Know Basic First Aid: Teach them simple steps like cleaning a small scrape with water, applying pressure with a clean tissue if it bleeds, and keeping it covered with a bandage to stop germs.

Preparation brings peace of mind. Let’s keep our Sugar Land kids safe and prepared this school year! ❤️
