1. Insights from Experts
We’ve curated insights from leading scientists and health experts on how chewing gum impacts oral health, gut microbiome balance, and overall well-being. Discover how a simple habit can lead to powerful benefits.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick: The Catalyst for Our Research
Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how chewing gum—particularly Xylitol-based gum—can support oral hygiene and digestive health. This conversation inspired a deeper dive into the science behind gum ingredients and their benefits.
Andrew Huberman: Science-Backed Benefits
Dr. Andrew Huberman explains how chewing xylitol gum can improve focus, reduce stress, and even prevent cavities. Daily chewing habits may play a bigger role in your health than you think!
2. The Benefits of Xylitol
Through our research, we’ve found that xylitol does more than freshen your breath—it actively improves oral hygiene, supports gut health, and offers a smarter alternative to artificial sweeteners.
🦠 Reduces Harmful Bacteria and Plaque Formation
Xylitol inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, which are primary contributors to tooth decay. By disrupting these bacteria’s energy production processes, Xylitol reduces their ability to adhere to tooth surfaces, thereby decreasing plaque formation.
🧪 Neutralises Acidic pH Levels
Chewing Xylitol gum stimulates saliva production, which helps neutralise acids in the mouth. Maintaining a balanced pH level protects tooth enamel from demineralisation, reducing the risk of cavities.
🦷 Enhances Remineralisation of Tooth Enamel
Increased saliva flow from chewing Xylitol gum not only neutralises acids but also supplies essential minerals like calcium and phosphate to the teeth. This process aids in the remineralisation and strengthening of tooth enamel.
🏥 Supports a Healthy Oral & Gut Microbiome
Xylitol gum helps balance both your mouth and gut microbiome by reducing harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial ones. In the mouth, it inhibits cavity-causing bacteria without disrupting the good bacteria needed for oral health. Unlike artificial sweeteners, Xylitol is also gut-friendly, as it doesn’t disturb the gut microbiome or cause digestive issues when consumed in moderation.
🌡️ Helps Maintain Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health
Unlike sugar-containing gum, Xylitol gum induces a much lower blood glucose rise and does not break a fast. With minimal calories (around 2-5 per piece) and a low glycemic index (GI) of 7 (compared to sugar’s 60-70), Xylitol does not significantly impact blood sugar levels or stimulate an insulin response. This makes it a great option for those fasting, allowing you to enjoy fresh breath without disrupting your metabolic state.
