Sweet revenge for your teeth

-

MANILA, Philippines – It’s sweet as sugar, but it’s not sugar. It’s natural, not artificial. It’s safe and has no side-effects. It has less calories than sugar. Best of all, it’s good for your teeth. If this sounds too good to be true, it’s true because it’s xylitol!

Considered as a 100-percent natural sugar-free sweetener, xylitol is found in fruits such as berries, vegetables, and mushrooms. In its purest form, xylitol is made of white crystals that look and taste like table sugar.

Unlike artificial sweeteners such as sucralose and aspartame, xylitol is all-natural. It also differs in chemical composition from other sweeteners like sorbitol, fructose, and glucose because of its lesser number of carbon atoms.

Although much sweeter than sorbitol and sweet as sucrose, xylitol has about 40-percent less calories than sugar. No wonder it has become an important health supplement today and is in fact even recommended for some diabetic diets in some countries.

But did you know that beyond being a remarkable sweetener, xylitol, compared to sugar, is highly beneficial to oral and dental health?  

Sugar speeds up the growth of bacteria in the mouth, producing acids that cause the formation of cavities. Xylitol, on the other hand, cannot be fermented by these acids; it shortens the duration of the acid attack and cuts down the growth of harmful bacteria by as much as 90 percent.

That’s why Lotte Confectionery Pilipinas, Corp., in line with its aim to promote good oral health, brings Lotte Xylitol, the first dental health chewing gum in the country. As its name suggests, Lotte Xylitol dental health gum contains the natural sweetener xylitol that helps reduce the risk of tooth decay among chewing gum lovers.  

Safe and non-toxic, Lotte Xylitol Dental health gum is trusted and recommended by dentists for both adults and kids. Available at leading drugstores, supermarkets, and convenience stores nationwide.
