I use Xylitol as a substitute for sugar in baking and coffee. I also buy the dental gum which is very nice. Tastes just like sugar, so it's a great substitute when baking(No-one will know the difference!). I have been using it for about 2 1/2 - 3 years now, and I've been overall very satisfied. It's great for those who don't want sugar in their diet, but love the sweetness of it. The texture ...

IT ATE my gums!! Let large abscessed area on one side and red raw eaten up area on the other side. Something nasty is in them to eat my gums. This wasn't listed as a possible side effect yet I see others having issues as well. I just read here about several people developing a cough. I have that too! Didn't think it could be from the melts. Throat is sore as well on one side. Never again.

I have used xlear xylitol nasal spray for over a year and a half. I use it every night. For a chronic sinus infection sufferer, it has been heaven sent. Since using it I have not had one sinus infection and my seasonal allergies are almost non-existent. I would highly recommend this. So glad I found it.

My husband had bone grafts and a sinus lift. After using a rinse that I recommended with xylitol the Oral surgeon was impressed with the healing process. He used the Nasal spray only after the Oral surgeon said it was ok to use and he was amazed at the quick healing process that occured. His implants will be placed at a record pace because of the healing properties of xylitol. He also chews orbit gum with xylitol and he has not had a cavity for many years. With his sugar habits his bridges are in tact without marginal caries. Read More Read Less

Xylitol nasal spray caused horrible hypothermia like side effects for me and my adult daughter. My daughter convulsed so much with the chills that she strained a neck muscle. I've heard that this only happens to dogs and sometimes fatally. We each used the spray once and had hours of discomfort with a complete inability to get warm even with the heat turned up to 82. Can't find any mention of this side effect online, but it was very scary and unpleasant.

It comes in gum, tastes better than any other sugar substitute I've found, and helps with both breath and minor tooth decay. Only problem is that it loses its flavor very quickly, but the gum isn't too expensive, either. Not as easy to come by as most gums, but the same price. I reccomend Spry cinnamon and fruit flavored gums, which are comparable to Wrigley's Big Red and Juicy Fruit.

I enjoy using gum with this ingredient. !!CAUTION!! Xylitol is TOXIC to dogs and other animals. One piece of gum with xylitol is fatal to a small dog if consumed...even it you have chewed it and spit it out. Keep this product securely away from children and animals. Be sure used gum is not accessible, gum in purse or car, etc.
