The Benefits of Xylitol<\/h2>

Sugar free with xylitol & erythritol – good for dental health. Xylitol inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Over time with xylitol use, the quality of the bacteria in the mouth changes and fewer and fewer decay-causing bacteria survive on tooth surfaces. Less plaque biofilm forms and the level of acids attacking the tooth surface is lowered.<\/p>

Xylitol has also been linked to clearing nasal passages, wound healing, upper respiratory health and calcium absorption.<\/p>

Why use Erythritol <\/h2>

Erythritol, like xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is made by fermenting sugar to remove the calories. It is low carb, does not affect your blood sugar and does not cause tooth decay.<\/p>

Sugar alcohols don’t actually contain sugar (sucrose) or alcohol (ethanol). Sugar alcohols are reduced-calorie sweeteners found in everything from chewing gum to flavoured water. Erythritol is almost as sweet as sugar and has practically no calories.<\/p>

Erythritol is found naturally in some fruits, such as melons, grapes, and pears. It\u2019s also found in some fermented foods. When erythritol is used in sugar-free foods and beverages, it\u2019s most likely made from fermented corn.<\/p>
