 Xylitol is a healthy, natural sweetener.

A naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables, Xylitol is even produced in small amounts by the human body (up to 11g per day). Commercially it is manufactured from xylan hemicellulose sources such as Birch trees in Finland, cane bagasse, and corn cobs. It is the sweetest of the polyols and just as sweet as sugar.

   Xylitol is clinically proven to:

                          Fight and Reduce Plaque
                           Fight Cavities
                            Reduces the secretion of Plaque Acids
                             Facilitates the Remineralization of Tooth Enamel
                              Fight and lessen the occurence of Inner Ear Infection
                                Increae Bone mass and density in animal studies


   Xylitol is used to reduce Bad Breath (halitosis) by reducing plaque beneath which bad smelling bacteria can live.

    Xylitol is recommended and used by Doctors, Dentists,, Periodontists, Pediatricians, Pediadontists, and many other medical and dental professionals worldwide.

    Xylitol is given to EXPECTANT MOTHERS in PRENATAL CLINICS in order to help them NOT to pass STREP BACTERIA (strep mutans) to their BABIES.  This has reduced inner ear infections in Finland by over forty Percent (study published in British Medical Journal).

     Xylitol is recommended as a SWEETENER for DIABETICS and people with HYPOGLYCEMIA because it has a LOW GLYCEMIC INDEX (7) and has LITTLE EFFECT on BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS.

     Xylitol is a NATURAL REPLACEMENT for FLUORIDE and helps REDUCE CAVITES UP TO 80% (Ylevieska Clinical Study). Used with Fluoride toothpastes, it reduces plaque and allows the Fluoride to more easily penetrate teeth.
