XYLITOL - A Nature's Sunshine Product:
Xylitol is a sweetener (polyol) found in many fruits and vegetables and is
even produced by the human body during normal carbohydrate metabolism. It is
usually manufactured from birch trees, corn stalks or other natural xylan-rich
sources, and adds a pleasant taste to the product. It is the sweetest of all
bulk sugar substitutes. and matches sucrose in bulk and sweetness without the
calories. (it has 40% less calories) It has no aftertaste. It also has a cooling
effect in the mouth and is great coupled with citrus and mint flavours.
Xylitol has been used in products for years and is found in sugar free
chewing gum and lollies etc. It is approved for use in many foods,
pharmaceuticals and cosmetics in many countries. Other products it is used in
include syrups and chewable tablets, oral hygiene products such as toothpastes
and mouthwashes, and dietetic and diabetic foods. The molecule contains only 5
carbon atoms while most other sugars are found to have 6 , and this is what
makes the difference in benefits.
Dental researchers involved in scientific studies over a period of more than
30 years, have advocated Xylitol to be valuable in the fight against tooth
decay.
German and French researchers were the first to attempt producing Xylitol
over 100 years ago, producing a syrup, but it has been known about since the
late 1800’s. Somewhere around World war 2 it was produced in crystalline
form.
Before the 1970’s, xylitol was used primarily in diabetic diets and infusion
therapy of post-operative, burn and shock patients in European and Asian
countries. In 1974 Finland produced the first large scale production of the
substance followed by the first sugar free chewing gum in 1975 followed by the
USA.
Good for everyone including diabetics:
Xylitol is a
low-glycaemic sweetener and is metabolized independently of insulin. It is a
good substitute for those who are experiencing insulin surges after eating
carbohydrates, known as "pre diabetic" and diabetic. If you are eating carbs,
especially of the starchy or sugar variety, and you experience extreme hunger
for more of those foods, it is usually due to the unbalanced surge of insulin
that the starch and sugar produced, and when that happens the body demands more
of that food to counteract the extra insulin. Then it can happen again and again
in the same meal. Time to change from those foods that are particularly
stimulating to each individual? It has a glycemic index of only 7. Xylitol is
metabolized without insulin so it creates a significantly lower glycemic effect
when eaten.
Cavities: In addition to not causing cavities Xylitol Helps inhibit
the ability of bacteria to adhere to tissues in the mouth and cannot be
metabolized by bacteria. This slows down the process that creates harmful,
enamel-eating acids. It resists fermentation by oral bacteria, reduces plaque
formation, increases salivary flow to aid in the repair of damaged tooth enamel
and complements fluoride in oral hygiene products.
Xylitol has been recommended by several dental associations worldwide through
endorsement of sugar-free confectionery products, in which xylitol constitutes
at least 50% of the total sweetener.
CAUTION: Do not give to
pets

PRECAUTIONS:
This product and other

Xylitol requires a brief period of
tolerance adjustment. May be best to gradually increase portions over a period
of three to six weeks before it is entirely substituted for common sugar.
NOT RECOMMENDED for use in pastries or
hard candy. Xylitol will not cause breads and pastries to rise and is not a good
choice for hard candies since it will not crystallize when heated.

Amount per Serving:
Calories 2, Total Fat 0 g, Sodium 0 mg, Total Carbohydrates under 1 g,

Ingredients:
Xylitol, gum base, natural flavor vegetable glycerin, gum arabic, soy

Xylitol Gums clean the teeth and may promote dental health. The gum is
flavoursome and is a better choice than sugar laden sweets and gums etc.
Chewing gum after a meal stimulates saliva, which washes the teeth and
neutralizes lactic acid produced by bacteria. It is this acid that eats into the
enamel and creates cavities.
Dental plaque is the first stage of cavity formation. Tartar can cause gum
problems, and staining is unsightly. The regular use of these gums can help
reduce those problems, firstly by eliminating cane sugar and secondly by direct
effects through promoting saliva after meals.

Xylitol Mints are very tasty and may help bad breath. They help
freshen the mouth and help promote oral health by deleting sugar content in the
diet and by the protection it gives.
Fermentation of sugar on the tooth enamel by bacteria, creates lactic acid
and this is very damaging, causing unwanted cavities.
The good news is that Xylitol cannot be fermented, resulting in less acid
and bacterial action.

the amount of decay due to the harmful bacterial activity, which arises from
sugar being fermented on the enamel of the teeth.
Bacteria cannot ferment xylitol and in this way the bacterial count is
decreased as there is nothing for them to ferment. There is absolutely no common
sugar in this product.
Baking soda and silica powder are added to act as mild abrasives to clean and
polish teeth. Natural spearmint, cinnamon and anise have been added to flavour,
and these should leave your mouth feeling fresh with a minty taste being left
