The Xylitol Difference......

Xylitol is a natural sweetener derived from the fibrous parts of plants with a sweet taste identical to sugar and NO aftertaste.  Xylitol has a low glycemic index of 7 (compared to sugar's 83) and is low in calories.  In addition to being delicious, xylitol has much to offer the health-conscious consumer. Used extensively in Scandinavia since the 1940's, xylitol has been the subject of more than 1500 clinical and laboratory studies that have clearly revealed xylitol's health-promoting benefits. Dental associations around the world are touting xylitol's praises because it promotes better oral health & may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Other studies have shown that when certain bacteria are exposed to xylitol, they lose their ability to stick to the tissues in the mouth, nose and upper respiratory tract. Furthermore, xylitol has a cooling and soothing effect, making it an ideal choice for both taste and good health.
