Description

Xylitol is a sugar substitute that is far better for your body than typical white refined sugar. It is often considered a “diabetic sweetener” and is basically as sweet as sucrose, but has 33% fewer calories.

Xylitol belongs to the chemical group called “polyols”, more commonly known as sugar alcohols. Oddly enough, they are neither sugar nor alcohol, but their chemical structure resembles something in between.

Benefits

1. Xylitol is a chemically processed form of sugar, which means that the body cannot break down carbohydrates into monosaccharides and fill the blood, thus destroying the balance between insulin and glucose. This means that diabetics can consume it in all normal foods without worrying about a significant drop or surge in blood sugar levels.

2. Xylitol can reduce dental plaque, caries and caries. A large number of studies around the world have shown that it has a much better inhibitory effect on tooth decay than the common sugar in toothpaste.

3. A basic chemical application of xylitol is as an Alkalizer. It increases the alkalinity of the body and mouth and reduces the acidity. Alkalinity is not a good environment for bacteria because it cannot grow under such conditions.

4. One side effect of xylitol is to slightly slow down the digestive process, mainly the time required for gastric emptying. Maintain a healthy, balanced calorie intake and contribute to any dieting or weight loss effort
