Xylitol is categorized as a polyalcohol or sugar alcohol (specifically an alditol). It has the formula CH₂OH(CHOH)₃CH₂OH. It is a colorless or white solid that is soluble in water. Use of manufactured products containing xylitol may promote better dental health, but evidence is lacking on whether it prevents cavities.
