NOW Foods, Organic Xylitol, Pure with No Added Ingredients, Keto-Friendly, Low Glycemic Impact, Low Calorie, 1-Pound

Xylitol, in addition to be a great non-sugar sweetener for diabetics, is a powerhouse in oral care that no one talks about. I added brushing with xylitol to my regular oral care routine a few months ago. Yes, I double-brush, both upon waking and at bedtime, first with regular toothpaste then with xylitol. When I went to my dentist for my annual exam a few weeks after adding xylitol to my brushing routine, I was surprised to learn of how much impact this tiny change had had on my oral health. Both the hygienist and the dentist were near-giddy with the improvements in gum colour, the negligible plaque/tartar buildup, the reduction in gum pocket depth (by 1mm!), and zero inflammation. My last cleaning had been only three months prior so their notes and recorded measurements were very recent. They asked what I was doing differently and I told them that I’d started doing a follow-up brushing with the xylitol after having brushed with regular toothpaste. I was told to keep up the good work. Yes, you still have to floss but it’s a much quicker and less bloody job after just a short time of practicing twice-daily double-brushing. Proof in the pudding, if you ask me. This is an organic xylitol, which is what you want. Whether it’s from corn or birch, potatoes/potahtoes, but the birch is much more processed than the corn, and corn is a quicker-renewed resource than birch, and goodness knows we need to protect our trees on this planet.

I’ve been trying to cut back on regular sugar, and this xylitol has been a really easy swap. It tastes surprisingly close to sugar, doesn’t have that fake aftertaste, and works great in coffee, tea, baking, or even mixed into water for oral health support. I like that it doesn’t promote tooth decay and has a low glycemic impact, which makes it feel like a smarter option when you’re trying to move away from things like corn syrup, sucrose, or honey. It’s also nice knowing it’s lower calorie and keto-friendly, so I don’t feel like I’m spiking my blood sugar every time I want something sweet. The bag is a great value for the money and lasts a long time since you don’t need much. If you’re slowly trying to clean up your diet and cut down on added sugars without feeling deprived, this is a really good one to keep on hand.

This is my 1st time ordering and using this product. Read a lot of positive things about Xylitol and the reason I bought it because it kills the bad bacteria in the mouth and doesn't touch the good guys. Just do not understand why dentist do not talk about this product here in Australia. Highly recommend this product.

I use this as a sweetener at times but mainly in my homemade toothpaste. Tastes great and lasts a long time

I use organic xylitol for cooking instead of sugar. Will order again
