More on mannitol:
.
Mannitol is a rescue only intervention IV, and is not so safe.
Benefit vs risk, for cerebral edema, is narrow. But since there is
no other thing to use for this at this time... doctors prepare for the side effects instead.
Mannitol taken orally is not well absorbed in humans, and acts like the laxative sorbitol.
.
This article hints at various quantities that are needed for xylitol to
be effective for the uses it is promoted for in humans.
.
I find this interesting, because Gum, toothpaste etc do not have amounts of xylitol included.
