Episode notes
Xylitol, an artificial sugar, is a low-calorie sweetener that is unique as it prevents the bacteria streptococcus mutans from producing acid that causes tooth decay. By consuming xylitol, streptococcus mutans is unable to release acid, leading to reduced cavities and inhibited bacterial growth in the mouth. Additionally, xylitol reduces inflammation in gum tissue and other oral soft tissues. Dentists have created xylitol products like gums and mints to be used after meals, which can significantly improve oral health by reducing the proliferation of cavity-forming bacteria. Xylitol also shows potential benefits in improving the overall microbiome, reducing inflammation in various tissues, and supporting gut health.
