I had a back-and-forth about Xylitol disrupting oral bacteria some while back. The person responding found my biotech search abilities lacking — from the vehemence offensively so. They posted a quite number of replies, each with a study. I'm still not sure how I phrased my response set them off - but the studies those responses link to are worth a look.

If anyone feels a bit “Emily Post” and wants to point out where I’d overstepped, I’d be curious to figure that one out. Gotta wonder if I was lay-splaining (like mansplaining but from a lay person)?
