Xylitol does not dissolve in cold water, but it dissolves easily at room temperature, and once dissolved, it will stay dissolved, even when chilled. Adding xylitol to water may be helpful when higher doses of xylitol are used, as they are in Europe for women with osteoporosis. Doctors who believe in xylitol for bone benefits often suggest an amount of up to 20 grams of xylitol daily. Teeth benefit most from tiny, multiple exposures to xylitol each day—ideally 1–2 grams at each exposure to total between 6.5 and 10 total grams per day. I suggest you strive for a 1-gram serving of xylitol (ideally as two 0.5-gram mints or a 1-gram piece of gum) five times each day after meals, snacks, and drinks. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

For a given shift in interest rates or financial strength, changes in the market value of long-term bonds will be much greater than price changes of short-term bonds. For example, a 1% increase in interest rates would cause the market price of a 3-year $10,000 bond to decline by around 3% or $300; whereas a $10,000 30-year bond would likely drop in price by around 20% or $2,000. (Note that bond market price changes don't much matter if you hold a bond to maturity.) [2018] - Larry Bates

To find them, you need to be proactive about site hopping. [2013] - Laurie Davis
