Try gum only sweetened with xylitol. You have to order it online....try this website: http://www.homesteadmarket.com/xylitol_g...


Xylitol is a naturally occurring form of the five carbon sugar xylose. It is found in many fruits and vegetables such as plums, corn and strawberries. Xylitol is even produced in small amounts in the human body. The main source of commercially produced xylitol are corn cobs and birch bark. In the presence of xylitol, some infection causing bacteria lose the ability to adhere to cells. Without this adhesion, inflection is very limited if not impossible due to inhibited bacterial growth. Scientist at Turku University in Finland first discovered xylitol effect on dental health in the early 1970's. It fights cavities, plaque, dry mouth and bad breath, neutralized plaque acids and even remineralized tooth enamel. Finland researches also find that eight grams of xylitol taken orally every day will prevent about 40% ear infections in children.
