Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that provides the same sweetness as table sugar with roughly 40% fewer calories. This alternative sweetener, commonly extracted from birch wood or corn fiber, is particularly notable for its dental benefits as it helps prevent tooth decay by inhibiting bacterial growth. While used in sugar-free products like gum, mints, and baked goods, xylitol should be consumed in moderation as it can cause digestive discomfort in large amounts.
