XYLITOL, NF is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables. Xylitol is used as nutritive sweetener as a sugar substitute to produce “sugar-free” foods and is commonly used in the production of chewing gums, mints and other candies. It is healthier than sugar (75% fewer carbohydrates and 40% fewer calories) and just as sweet. Is often used in tooth care products and has proven to be healthier for teeth than sugar. Although its main use is as a food additive, it is also used medicinally to prevent middle ear infections in young children.
