Why Use Xylitol?

It's Effective
Frequent eating of foods high in sugars and starches can promote tooth decay. Xylitol does not promote tooth decay. Studies have shown xylitol to have long-lasting dental benefits.

Xylitol is Natural
Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less than one gram of xylitol. Chewing is a natural process and chewing gums provide some exercise lacking in a refined diet. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector.

Xylitol is Safe
In the amounts needed to reduce the risk of tooth decay (less than 15 grams per day), xylitol is safe for everyone.

Xylitol is Convenient
Xylitol can be conveniently delivered to your teeth via chewing gum, tablets, or even candy. You can implement your xylitol program anywhere, anytime. It fits right in with the most frantic schedules. You don?t need to change your normal routine to make room for xylitol.

Xylitol is Enjoyable
Some health regimens require iron willpower, discipline, and commitment. But xylitol tastes so good that it becomes automatic. Children love it! Nagging is minimized.
