The low-calorie, natural sweetener that
prevents cavities
Xylitol is found in strawberries, raspberries
and plums, and is even made by the body during normal metabolism.
Xylitol is not fructose; it is a 5 carbon natural sweetener
that looks and tastes like ordinary sugar but that’s
where the similarities end. Table sugars are 6 carbon and
the loss of 1 carbon prevents bacteria from feeding on the
sweetener.
Xylitol was first discovered in Europe in the
late 19th century, and widely used in Finland during WWII.
Without a domestic supply of sugar, the Finns embraced this
new sweetener, discovering years later that those who used
xylitol had better health than those who didn't. This stimulated
research to discover why.
Xylitol was found to have a unique chemical
structure that makes it resistant to cavity-causing bacteria
and certain infections. Today, it is one of the most studied
— and safe — substances on earth with more than
1,500 published studies in existence.
Incorporating xylitol into the daily diet can
encourage healthy weight loss. Low-calorie, low-glycemic xylitol
slows stomach-emptying time, bypassing the ‘spike’
in insulin-release that causes appetite swings and food binges.
