Xylooligosaccharides are functional polysaccharides composed of 2-7 xylose molecules combined with β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Its bifidus factor function is 10-20 times that of other polymerized sugars. Compared with the commonly used soybean oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, isomalt oligosaccharides, etc., xylo-oligosaccharides have unique advantages. It can selectively promote the proliferation activity of intestinal bifidobacteria.
Application:
Xylo ooligosaccharide is suitable to replace part of sucrose and be added to various beverages and foods, such as:
Medicines and health products: patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis, dental caries
Dairy beverages: milk powder, liquid milk, yogurt, lactic acid bacteria drinks, carbonated drinks, etc.
Food category:table food baked goods, condiments, desserts, various cans, candy
Feed category:as a feed additive to replace antibiotics
For many travelers who’ve driven in countries like England or Japan, switching to the left-hand side of the road can feel disorienting, especially during the initial miles. While it may seem unusual today, only a handful of nations still adhere to this practice. Driving on the left has deep historical roots, stretching back centuries.
Take a look at the image below, showcasing bustling Tokyo streets. You’ll notice that the flow of traffic here follows the same pattern as many former British territories.
### A Journey Through Time
The preference for left-side driving isn’t random. Many current left-driving countries were once part of the British Empire, but the origins of this tradition go far beyond England. In ancient Rome, for instance, charioteers naturally steered their vehicles on the left side. Since most people are right-handed, drivers held their whips in their left hands while steering with their right. This setup minimized the risk of accidentally lashing a neighboring chariot and allowed them to wield their weapons with their dominant hand if necessary.
As depicted in the image below, managing modern traffic was no small feat when countries decided to switch lanes.
Over time, driving on the left became customary. However, as automobiles gained popularity, standardization became essential. Henry Ford played a significant role by designing his Model T with the driver’s seat on the left side. Consequently, countries started shifting to right-hand driving to ensure passengers could disembark safely onto the curb.
In subsequent decades, numerous nations followed the U.S. lead. Italy, Spain, and Canada switched in the 1920s, while Scandinavian countries made the transition in the 1960s. Sweden’s switch was particularly memorable, leading to a chaotic yet amusing “traffic jam,†as described by *Time Magazine*.
### Countries Holding On
Today, about 50 nations, including England, Japan, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, continue to drive on the left. Tradition plays a major role here—this was simply how things were done long before roads had names or traffic became a formal concept. Changing now would require extensive infrastructure modifications, which is economically unfeasible in established cities like London.
Interestingly, some countries have chosen to reverse their lane preferences. Samoa, for example, flipped its driving direction in 2009 to simplify importing cheaper vehicles from Japan and Australia.
### Right-Hand Drive in the USA
Surprisingly, it’s entirely legal to operate a right-hand drive vehicle in the United States. In fact, importing cars from Japan, Australia, Europe, and other regions is growing increasingly common. For instance, we recently outlined the process for bringing in a Toyota Land Cruiser, which applies to various other models as well. Don’t let the unfamiliar layout deter you—it takes just a short drive to adjust and feel comfortable behind the wheel again.
Ultimately, the choice of whether to drive on the left or right comes down to history, practicality, and cultural habits. Whether you’re navigating London’s cobblestone streets or cruising through Los Angeles, the key is adaptability—and perhaps a bit of patience.
