Xylitol is a natural ingredient that acts as a sweetener and it is an organic ingredient as it comes from the fibrous parts of a plant.
One of the main functions and use of Xylitol is to fight the bacteria from sticking to the teeth and this is how it is able to battle the possibility of incurring tooth decay. Tooth decay is also a main cause of halitosis. Since Xylitol does not break down on your mouth, it allows for a more neutral pH level and the acid attack is effectively reduced.
