That is interesting. I've had CS in both plastic and glass jars, plastic and metal canning lids respectively, and have never seen any mold on the underside of the lids. Frankly it would worry me a lot. Mold really should not grow in pure distilled water should it?

I recently did have an incident of black mold growing in dishwashing liquid (7th generation). It was horrible, but I didn't notice it for a long time until the smell got overwhelming. This black mold, in which I was washing our glasses and dishes, silverware, and all, may have been partly responsible for the cold I had last fall? At any rate, everything that had this dishwashing liquid in it got the black mold. I have gone back to Palmolive dishwashing liquid, and tossed out some pump bottles and chloroxed others. What a mess. For some things, chlorine bleach is the most effective. CS in the bottles with the 7th generation dish soap, or used to wash and rinse the pump bottles only slowed down the mold. I feel sure it was affecting my animals, too, as their water bowls and food dishes were also washed with the moldy crap.

Don't know what the black mold was, but isn't Aspergillus black?

I wouldn't pay much attention to that as I quite often have to soak the lids of my CS jars to get rid of the mold that grows there. It grows on the moist inside of the lid which is moist with water vapor which is the same as pure distilled water. If I saw mold growing in or under the Xylitol then it would be a concern.

Hi Brickley,

Where did you get the info that Xylitol feed Aspergillus? Paul Holloway (silver-List) saw Aspergillus growing inside of a Xylitol bottle.
