<p>You have to look up Dr. Ellie Phillips on the web. See both her site and her blog. Also her book "Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye" has an extensive chapter based on research about xylitol and oral health. After a year and a half on her program, which includes at least 6 grams of xylitol a day (which is only 1.5 teaspoons) my oral health is vastly improved (so says my dentist!)</p> <p>Paleomofo: about diet soda and gum. Most of these products, if they contain xylitol, also contain sorbitol and/or manitol, which are also alcohol sugars. BUT, unlike xylitol, sorbitol and manitol also "feed" bad bacterial in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease. For xylitol to help (because it creates an "unfriendly" environment for the bad oral bacteria), you need to have products that contain only xylitol as a sweetener. It's cheapest in its purest form (100% granular xylitol; 1.5 tsp in a glass of water is what I have), but you can also buy different brands of candies and gum that are made with only xylitol. </p> <p>If you check out Dr. Ellie's site, you can read all about it for free.</p>
