		Xylitol belongs to the polyalcohols (polyols) which are not, strictly speaking, "sugars" which traditionally include certain nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners (sucrose, corn sugar, corn syrup, invert sugar, D-fructose, D-glucose, etc.; in some reports the term "sugars" is collectively used to refer to mono- and disaccharides).
		Xylitol is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water by the normal, physiologic pathway of carbohydrate breakdown.
		As one consequence of this, the usage of xylitol chewing gum by young day-care center children was shown to reduce the occurrence of acute otitis media and antimicrobial treatment received during the gum-using period (7).

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Children's acceptance of milk with xylitol or sorbitol for dental caries prevention
		The doses of xylitol were chosen based on the amounts used in previous studies and assuming a daily consumption volume of 240 ml of milk with either 5 mgs or 10 mgs of xylitol or sorbitol in it (5 mg/240 ml = 0.021 mg/ml, 10 mg/240 ml = 0.042 mg/ml) [2,4,7].
		Xylitol forms very loose complexes with calcium under some conditions in vitro and delays precipitation of calcium; however, these features should have no impact on the bioavailability of the xylitol in milk [25].
		This preliminary study found that xylitol in milk is acceptable to Peruvian children and that both xylitol and sorbitol in milk at 0.042 g/ml are preferred to plain milk.
