XYLITOL

Is tooth-friendly and has a relatively low GI/GL which is NOT what stands out for sweeteners in general.

Xylitol is made from the fibre of birch trees.

It also occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables.

It is unique because it does not provide food to the tooth-decaying bacteria in the mouth and thereby help them proliferate. Xylitol does not cause tooth decay. In fact, xylitol’s tooth friendliness goes further than that; studies have shown that it hardens dental enamel and helps remove plaque. This sets Xylitol categorically apart from any other sweetener.

Even though it sweetens comparably to sugar, Xylitol’s glycemic index/ load (GI/GL) is lower: 8.5
