Xylitol

I did some research on xylitol because it is found in sugarless gum that I sometimes give to my kids. It seems safe. It is an all-natural sugar substitute. Some online sources report that xylitol is sometimes used as a sugar substitute for diabetics. Some kid vitamins include xylitol. Some sources say that some studies show xylitol reduced tooth decay. But one study reported that a person developed eczema on the skin where the xylitol came in contact with.
