Pure Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is naturally occurring and is found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. It has the same sweetness as sugar (sucrose) but with 40% fewer calories and none of the negative tooth decay or insulin release effects of sugar.
Xylitol is Low GI. It is also safe for use by those with diabetes or hypoglycaemia.
Over 25 years of clinical testing confirms that Xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth. Its use has been shown to reduce instances of tooth decay by up to 80%. Sugarfree chewing gums have received official endorsements from dental associations.
