My science is on xylitol. It is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener . It is as sweet as table sugar but has fewer calories. It is naturally found in low concentrations of many fruits and vegetables. It is also very good for your teeth. It has more dental health benefits than other polyalcohols which is an alcohol containing multiple hydroxyl groups.
