Xylitol Description: a natural sweetener that does not spike blood sugar levels and does not contribute to tooth decay.
Xylitol Dental Studies: As stated by Angela Pirisi in LE Magazine August 2003 titled The Dangers of Poor Dental Hygiene “Xylitol, a popular sweetener used in many foods and oral hygiene products, has been shown to reduce tooth decay in numerous clinical studies worldwide. A review of 14 studies weighing the effects of sugar substitutes, xylitol and sorbitol, on tooth decay found a ‘consistent decrease in dental caries, ranging from 30% to 60%, among subjects using sugar substitutes as compared to subjects in a control group.' The highest reduction in cavities was seen with regards to xylitol use in particular. Likewise, a five-year follow-up study by Finnish researchers found that regular xylitol consumption (candy was used) resulted in a "highly significant" reduction of cavities of 35% to 60% at the three-year mark, compared with the control groups. The study looked at xylitol consumption in 740 Estonian 10-year-old schoolchildren who were given xylitol-sweetened candy three times a day, amounting to 5 g per day, excluding weekends and summer holidays.”
