Xylitol

Description

Xylitol is a naturally-occurring 5-carbon polyol sweetener. It is found in fruits and vegetables, and is even produced by the human body itself. It can absorb heat when dissolved in water, with moisture absorbing function, and transient diarrhea can be induced when excessively taken. The product can also treat constipation. Xylitol is the sweetest of all the polyols. It is as sweet as sucrose, has no after-taste and is safe for diabetics.

Xylitol has 40% less calories than sugar and, for this reason, a caloric value of 2.4 kcal/g is accepted for nutritional labelling in the EU and the USA. In crystalline applications, it provides a pleasant, natural cooling effect, greater than that of any other polyol. It is the only sweetener to show both passive and active anti-caries effects.

Health Benefits of Xylitol

Does Not Promote Tooth Decay

Xylitol is best known for protecting against dental caries (cavities). Numerous studies have shown its effectiveness in cavity prevention. Besides sugar-free candies and desserts, it can also be found in gums, mouthwashes, and toothpastes.

May Protect Gut Health

Xylitol may act as a prebiotic—a substance that promotes gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut. The body doesn’t fully digest xylitol, so much of the sugar alcohol remains solid in the colon, where it feeds good bacteria, keeping the gut microbiome healthy and thriving.

May Support Respiratory Health

Xylitol supports immune function by contributing to SCFA production. It also exerts antimicrobial activity, which helps stave off infection. These benefits combined might help reduce respiratory tract infections, such as sinusitis. Though research is limited, it may also be useful for nasal irrigations.

May Improve Blood Sugar Control

Sugar alcohols, such as xylitol, are known to have little to no impact on your blood sugars. As such, they may be especially beneficial as sugar replacements for people with diabetes. It has been shown to be a safe and effective sugar alternative. However, it’s best tolerated when consumed in moderation.

May Help With Weight Management

Xylitol has a similar sweetness to sugar but without the calories. Replacing sugar with xylitol can help you reduce your overall calorie intake. While sugar is 16 calories per teaspoon (4 calories per gram), it is significantly lower in calories at just 2.4 calories per gram.

May Benefit Your Skin

Applying xylitol to your skin could keep your skin softer and more hydrated. Topical application of xylitol might help seal your skin’s outer layer to prevent moisture losses. When consumed, it might help increase the skin’s integrity. Though these findings are limited to animal studies, you may find xylitol is an ingredient in some moisturizers and sunscreens.
