- Description
- Xylitol is a safe and natural sweetener made from Birch that promotes good health. Xylitol decreases plaque formation and adhesion, cuts off dental acid attacks, hardens tooth enamel and repairs small emerging cavities. It has a cooling effect in the mouth, leaves no aftertaste, and is an ideal sweetener for a gum. It is also safe for Diabetics.
- Ingredients
- Sweeteners (xylitol 70% weight), gum base (i.e. original latex from sapodilla tree), licorice extract, natural flavor, gum arabic, lecithin, glycerin, beeswax, carnaubawax.
- Product Research
- Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. On food labels, xylitol is classified broadly as a carbohydrate and more narrowly as a polyol. Because xylitol is only slowly absorbed and partially utilized, a reduced calorie claim is allowed: 2.4 calories per gram or 40% less than other carbohydrates.
Xylitol has been used in foods since the 1960’s. It is a popular sweetener for the diabetic diet in some countries. In the U.S., xylitol is approved as a food additive in unlimited quantity for foods with special dietary purposes.
Over 25 years of testing in widely different conditions confirm that xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth. Xylitol use reduces tooth decay rates both in high-risk groups (high caries prevalence, poor nutrition, and poor oral hygiene) and in low risk groups (low caries incidence using all current prevention recommendations). Sugarfree chewing gums and candies made with xylitol as the principal sweetener have already received official endorsements from six national dental associations.
