Biogenesis Xylitol Pepermints and Xylitol Fruit Gum are two great tasting
new ways to help prevent cavities, plaque, bad breath, ear infections and support
blood sugar. Numerous studies have been done on xylitol including the following
(WHO Hungary 1981-84, Ylivieska clinic studies 1982-85, Montreal 1985-86, Belize
1989-93) just to name a few. These studies employed various modes of administration,
such as gum, toothpaste and confectionery.
The subjects studied were of all
different ages. In each of the cases the same trend has been observed, demonstrating
that xylitol significantly reduces the incidence of tooth decay when compared
to controls who did not receive xylitol. The most recently conducted major study
(Belize 1989-93), was also the first to directly compare the efficacy of xylitol
and sorbitol gums. Children in the xylitol group showed a 70% lower risk than
the “no gum” group and an almost 50% lower risk than those in the
sorbitol group. Xylitol has shown its self as an extremely valuable tool in
preventative dentistry.
