Xylitol Ingredient and Xylitol Wipes help to keep babies teeth healthy and free of Tooth Decay!
Xylitol Wipes will help babies grow healthier teeth. Xylitol is a sweetener that tastes like sugar and can be found in fruits and vegetables. It is produced naturally and it is very abundant in hard wood trees. A German Chemist named Emil Fischer discovered Xylitol back in 1891, but it was during World War II that Xylitol was first used by a large population of people.
The History
The sugar supply was cut off from Finland during World War II and this forced Finland to search for other potential sugar sources. Finland had no domestic sugar supply and all their attempts to acquire sugar from other countries had turned up empty handed. This caused their researchers to begin to look for a viable alternative. Finland soon rediscovered what chemist Emil Fischer had previously found and Xylitol became the mainstay sweetener in Finland (replacing sugar during this time) Xylitol has been used as a sweetener in human foods more broadly since the 1960's
Xylitol vs. Sugar- Which do you think will win?!
As we stated earlier Xylitol is a sweetener that it is similar in taste to sugar. While the two substances may taste the same, their difference lies in the fact that sugar is a strong promoter of the bacteria that causes tooth decay in babies, and Xylitol is not. Xylitol is made from Xylose which is made up of five carbon atoms. Sugar is made from Sucrose which has six carbon atoms. The bacteria that live in our children's mouth feed upon sucrose with its six carbon atoms because it is easy to digest. Xylose on the other hand (which is found in Xylitol) is made up of 5 carbon atoms and cannot be digested easily by mouth borne bacteria. This inhibits the bacteria's growth and proliferation. Basically, Xylitol causes those bacteria to starve to death, from lack of nutrition of all things.... now isn't that funny! Xylitol is also very slowly metabolized and does not raise insulin levels. Xylitol's use reduces many of the health problems that can be associated with a high sugar intake, and as such it can be used safely by diabetics as a sweetener as well.
In Conclusion
Our research has found that Xylitol is a safe and healthy and natural product that can be used to help our babies emerging new teeth. Xylitol promotes healthy teeth development. When used consistently and as a part of an overall dental hygiene plan Xylitol drastically lowers the growth of the bacteria which causes Tooth Decay and gum disease in your child.
