Xylitol

Sugar alcohol with sweetness like sugar, xylitol. Xylitol looks and tastes like sugar but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels. It seems that xylitol has certain advantages for dental health, such as lowering the risk of cavities and tooth decay.

Some animal studies suggest that it may also increase bone density, therefore preventing osteoporosis. In addition, studies demonstrate that xylitol can raise levels of a variety of substances in the digestive system to maintain your gut microbiota. Additionally, xylitol doesn't increase insulin or blood sugar levels. However, at high doses, it can have the same digestive adverse effects as other sugar alcohols, such as abdominal gas and diarrhea. So it's advised to use xylitol cautiously. Last but not least, keep xylitol out of your dog's reach because it is extremely toxic to dogs.
