xylitol
Sugar-free gum ingredient
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener, found naturally in some fruits and vegetables but typically manufactured from birch bark or corn.
It has fewer calories than sugar and doesn't spike blood sugar, making it popular in sugar-free gum, candies, and diabetic-friendly products.
Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs.
