Why xylitol

Xylitol and erythritol are plant-based sugar alcohols. The bacteria in your mouth can't ferment them the way they ferment sugar, so these hard candies don't feed the bacteria that cause cavities. The sugar alcohols used in Dr. John's candy do not promote tooth decay.*

Who they're for

• Anyone cutting back on sugar or counting carbs
• Dry mouth: sucking on sugar-free hard candy helps get saliva flowing, with no sugar left on your teeth
• Kids 4 and up
• Dental offices, classrooms, Halloween, party favors and office candy bowls (the 2.5 lb bag is the bulk size)

Good to know

• Not safe for pets: xylitol is toxic to dogs. Keep the bag out of their reach.
• Excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect, which is normal for sugar alcohols. Start with a serving or two.
• Choking caution: hard candy can become lodged in the throat. Not recommended for children 3 and under; supervise young kids.

*Frequent between-meal eating of foods high in sugars and starches promotes tooth decay. The sugar alcohols in Dr. John's products do not promote tooth decay.
