What is Xylitol?

Xylitol is a naturally-occurring plant alcohol and is widely used as an artificial sweetener. Xylitol is often advised or prescribed as a sugar substitute to children at risk for cavities or to patients with diabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels are too high. Because Xylitol blocks the growth of a certain type of bacteria (Streptococcus pneumonia), it is sometimes prescribed as a syrup or ear drops to prevent ear infections in children. Finally, Xylitol is a common ingredient in over-the-counter dry mouth remedies. Commonly administered as gum, Xylitol dry mouth remedies stimulate saliva production without using harmful sugars.

Although Xylitol tastes like sugar, it does not turn into acids that cause tooth decay and cavities, as sugar does. In the body, Xylitol does not cause a spike in blood sugar and insulin, as sugar does, but it does increase average sugar levels in the blood.

What are the side effects of Xylitol?

Side effects will be minimal and rarely experienced unless too much Xylitol is consumed. Xylitol draws water into the intestines like an osmotic laxative, so diarrhea is a common side effect. Xylitol is also fermented by bacteria in the intestines, so gas and bloating are also commonly experienced. Very few cases of Xylitol allergies have been documented.
