** Reducing intraocular pressure ** The use of xylitol has been cited in a European patent for treating intraocular pressure – a condition that can develop into glaucoma, a serious disease that causes damage to the optic nerve.

** Preventing ear infections ** Doctors in Finland found that 8 grams of xylitol, taken orally every day, prevented about 40% of ear infections. Before bacteria can cause an infection they have to be able to attach to our body. Again, xylitol prevented the germs from sticking to the tissue.

** Clearing the nasal passages ** Research suggests significant benefits to using xylitol as a nasal spray. When infectious germs in the sinuses adhere to mucous membranes and nasal tissues, they can lead to infection and disease. The addition of precise amounts of xylitol to saline nasal spray makes it much more effective in moisturizing and clearing the nasal passages.

** Use as a sugar alternative for people with diabetes ** Possessing approximately 40% less food energy, xylitol is a low- calorie alternative to table sugar. Absorbed more slowly than sugar, it does not contribute to high blood sugar levels or the resulting hyperglycemia caused by insufficient insulin response.

** Repairing damaged enamel ** Research has shown that the use of xylitol also helps repair damage to the enamel. Saliva that has xylitol is more alkaline than saliva stimulated by other sugar products. After taking xylitol products, the concentration of basic amino acids and ammonia in saliva and plaque may rise, and plaque pH rises as well. When pH is above 7, calcium and phosphate salts in saliva start to move into those parts of enamel that are weak. Therefore, soft, calcium-deficient enamel sites begin to harden again.

** To prevent osteoporosis ** Xylitol also has potential as a treatment for osteoporosis. A group of Finnish researchers has found that dietary xylitol prevents weakening of bones in laboratory rats, and actually improves bone density.

** A sweet choice for many recipes ** Xylitol products are readily available for use in cooking and baking. Xylitol won’t break down with heat like some other sweeteners, so it’s the perfect choice for just about any recipe that calls for sugar. Converting your recipes couldn’t be easier –since xylitol has the same sweetness as sugar, simply use the same amount (1:1).

** Helps reduce the development of dental caries **

** Reduces plaque formation **

Actually xylitol don’t give negative effect because xylitol is gotten from nature, but if we consume it to much can cause a bitter taste. So, xylitol is save to our healthy.
