Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that has several unique characteristics that make it a popular food additive and sweetener. One of its main features is its low calorie content: at 2.4 calories per gram, it has 40% fewer calories than other carbohydrates. This is because xylitol is only slowly absorbed or partially utilized by the body. Xylitol has been used in food since the 1960s and is particularly popular among diabetics as a sweetener. In the United States, it can be used as a food additive for special purposes without dosage restrictions.

One of the most well-known benefits of xylitol is its ability to prevent dental caries. Xylitol has been certified as the best sweetener for preventing dental caries in various studies over a period of 25 years. It can reduce the incidence of dental caries in both high-risk groups (those with a high incidence of dental caries, poor nutrition, and low oral hygiene levels) and low-risk groups (those who use all current dental protection measures to protect their teeth and have a low rate of cavity occurrence).

Xylitol is also used as a sweetener for diabetics, as well as a nutritional supplement and auxiliary therapeutic agent. As an intermediate in the metabolism of carbohydrates in the human body, xylitol can be absorbed and utilized by tissues even when insulin levels are low, providing nutrients and energy to cells without causing an increase in blood sugar levels. This can help alleviate the symptoms of diabetes, such as polyphagia, polydipsia, and polyuria.

Sugar alcohols like xylitol have good thermal stability and can be heated to produce chemical reactions with amino acids to prepare various preparations. Xylitol can also promote gastric juice secretion, pancreas and bile activity, and increase adrenocortical hormone NADPH2 ATP levels, making it suitable for elderly and infirm individuals.
