Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sugar substitute. The name derives from Ancient Greek: ξύλον, xyl[on], "wood" + suffix -itol, used to denote sugar alcohols. 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.
