Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a sugar substitute. It is a popular alternative to sugar because it has a similar sweetness profile but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic index.
Xylitol has several uses, including:
Dental health: Xylitol has been shown to reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth that can cause tooth decay and gum disease. It can be found in toothpaste, mouthwash, and chewing gum.
Diabetes management: Xylitol is a low glycemic index sweetener that can be used in place of sugar for people with diabetes to help manage blood sugar levels.
Weight management: Xylitol has fewer calories than sugar and can be used in place of sugar to reduce overall calorie intake.
Baking: Xylitol can be used in baking as a sugar substitute, although it may not work in all recipes due to its different properties.
Pet health: Xylitol can be toxic to dogs and other pets, so it is sometimes used in products like chewing gum or peanut butter as a deterrent to keep pets from eating them.
