    It’s not just a “sugar substitute”. It actively kills bacteria. It’s very good for your teeth, and treats halitosis.

        He writes on a device that is made with child labor…

        It’s not the smell dumbo. How about you lose a few teeth and see how much you like it. If the risk of killing a some random dog you’re never going to see or touch is worth the issues of toothdecay/loss.

        This falls under the category: Your religion forbids YOU to eat bacon, it doesn’t forbid bacon for everyone else.

          Holy strawman, Batman!

          Ya know what else kills bacteria in the mouth? Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.

          Regulate it. Got teeth so bad you need xylitol, get it from your dentist.

            So… Someone gets it from their dentist and it still kills your dog. What changed? Nothing. It’s not a common sweetener. There are much more common sugar alcohols and plenty of other sweeteners entirely. Xylitol gum is sold specifically as xylitol gum because of it’s antibacterial properties.
