XYLITOL: A natural sweetener that's kind to teeth
77
Abstract
Xylitol is a natural sweetener which is found in many fruits and vegetables, and is even produced in the human body. It has the same sweetness and the same calories as ordinary table sugar or sucrose, but it differs from sucrose in one important respect. It does not cause tooth decay. In fact there is evidence that it can help to reduce tooth decay.
