What is Xylitol?

Despite its chemical-sounding name, Xylitol is actually a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants.  Identical in taste to regular sugar – with no aftertaste – xylitol has a low glycemic index (7) and is low in calories.  Yet, beyond its delicious taste, xylitol has so much more to offer the health-conscious consumer.  Used extensively in Scandinavia since the 1940’s, xylitol has been the subject of more than 1500 clinical and laboratory studies which have clearly shown xylitol’s health-promoting benefits.  Dental associations around the world are touting xylitol’s praises for its ability to reduce tooth decay and promote oral health.  Other studies have shown that when certain bacteria are exposed to xylitol, they lose their ability to stick to the tissues in the mouth, nose and upper respiratory tract.  Furthermore, xylitol has a cooling and soothing effect – which makes it an ideal choice for both taste and health.
