Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute in a variety of products, including sugar-free gum, candies, and baked goods. It has a sweetness similar to that of sucrose (table sugar) but contains fewer calories. Xylitol is known for its ability to reduce the risk of tooth decay by neutralizing acids in the mouth and promoting oral health.
This sugar alcohol is metabolized more slowly than regular sugar, making it a popular choice for people with diabetes or those following a low-carb or low-sugar diet. It is also a common ingredient in dental care products like toothpaste and mouthwash, due to its beneficial effects on oral hygiene.
Xylitol is a versatile sugar substitute that offers a sweet taste without the harmful effects of sugar on teeth and blood sugar levels.
