    Xylitol is fantastic for dental health.

    Im assuming theres some confounding factor like “people who chew a lot of gum and eat a lot of artificial sweeteners are also people who just eat a lot in general or have history of obesity/type 2 diabetes” or something until a dedicated study proves otherwise.

      i think the “controversy” around fluoride free toothpaste is prety unsubstantiated, but people sitll jumped on the bandwagon for it. its useful stimulating saliva production.
