What Is Xylitol?
A Natural 5 Carbon Sweetener
Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance found in many fruits, and vegetables. It has a crystalline, granular structure like sugar. Its flavor is identical to sugar and has no unpleasant aftertaste.
It has been proven to improve oral health by minimizing harmful bacteria. Harmful bacteria excrete plaque and acid. Acidic saliva can create cavities and gum disease. It keeps the nasal passage clear of bacteria, allergens, and other contaminants.
It also nourishes your beneficial bacteria as they are able to use 5 carbon sweeteners for fuel. Starve the bad, feed the good.
