Why Use Xylitol?
Xylitol has a wide variety of uses and benefits, from improving the health of your
teeth to maintaining upper respiratory health. When properly used, Xylitol may help
reduce the incidence of tooth decay.
It's Effective
Frequent eating of foods high in sugars and starches can promote tooth decay. Xylitol
may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Many large-scale clinical studies have shown
it to have long-lasting dental benefits. Over 25 years of clinical testing confirms
that xylitol is the best sweetener for teeth, which has led to official endorsements
by dental associations in Finland, Norway, Sweden, England, Ireland, Estonia and
the Netherlands of products containing high levels of this sweetener.
It's Natural
Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce from 5 to 10 grams every
day from other food sources using established energy pathways. It is not a strange
or artificial substance, but a natural, normal part of everyday metabolism. It is
widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts, with some of the best sources
are fruits, berries, mushrooms, lettuce, hardwoods, and corncobs.
Xylitol is Safe and Convenient
In the amounts clinically proven to provide amazing oral health benefits (less than
15 grams per day), it is safe for everyone, and can be conveniently delivered to
your teeth via chewing gum, tablets, toothpaste, mouthwash, or even candy. You can
implement your xylitol program anywhere, anytime. It fits right in with the most
frantic schedules. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also
stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector. 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 because
it tastes so good it becomes automatic. Even children love it, so there is no need
to constantly remind them to take it.
