Abstract in brief

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener that can help prevent dental caries, reduce plaque, and promote remineralization of teeth, also potentially preventing osteoporosis.
It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that may treat respiratory and ear infections and reduce risks related to excessive sugar intake, obesity, diabetes, and constipation.
While generally beneficial, excessive consumption of xylitol can cause side effects like digestive issues and should be consumed in moderation.

"Xylitol is considered as a safe & efficient tooth decay preventative substance when used regularly"; found in chewing gums & many #fluoride free toothpastes, it's downplayed in studies quantifying its effectiveness in prevention of caries. Why? https://t.co/Y1UTelbpaz
