The
sweet tooth is a natural conundrum. If the sweet tooth is too
small, you don't really have one. If it's too big, then you soon
won't have any teeth at all. This dental dilemma, however, is
at an end. New Nature's Sweet Life Xylitol Gum freshens breath,
cleans teeth and promotes dental health with all of the flavor
and none of the harmful effects of sugar-laden sweets and gum.
A natural compound, xylitol looks and tastes like sugar. It is
found naturally in many common fruits and vegetables, and it
is even produced by our bodies during metabolism. Xylitol is
as sweet as sugar, yet it carries none of the health concerns
of artificial sweeteners, making it completely safe for both
children and adults. And it may actually help improve the health
of your teeth!
Benefits
- Promotes oral health.
- Helps freshen breath.
How It Works
Chewing Nature's Sweet Life Gum can help reduce cavities in two
ways. First, chewing gum after a meal stimulates the production
of saliva, which washes the teeth and neutralizes harmful acid
produced by bacteria. Second, xylitol helps inhibit the ability
of bacteria to attach to teeth and tissues in the mouth and cannot
be metabolized by bacteria, thus drastically slowing the process
that creates harmful, enamel-eating acids. Regular use of xylitol
has been shown to help reduce dental plaque—the first stage
of cavity development, tartar formation and tooth staining—and
promote better oral health.
Scientific Support
Unlike most sugar molecules, which have a six-carbon "hexose" unit,
xylitol is a five-carbon "pentitol" sugar. Thanks to
its distinctive structure, bacteria cannot utilize xylitol for
energy. Its chemical configuration also inhibits the body's ability
to fully metabolize it, making it the perfect sweetener for those
concerned with blood sugar balance. Xylitol also has been shown
to improve dental health. Decades of scientific research and
over 1,500 papers have confirmed it. Lactic acid, the most damaging
acid for your teeth, is formed by the fermentation of sugar by
bacteria. Bacteria cannot ferment xylitol, which reduces the
formation of tooth-destroying acid and promotes an inhospitable
environment for unwanted microorganisms.
