Does not cause tooth decay: Erythritol like other polyols is resistant to metabolism by oral bacteria which break down sugars and starches to produce aceids which may lead to tooth enamel loss and cavities formation. They are, therefore, non-cariogenic. The usefulness of polyols, including erythritol, as alternatives to sugars and as part of a comprehensive program including proper dental hygiene has been recognized by the American Dental Association. The FDA has approved the use of a "dos not promote tooth decay" health claim in labeling for sugar-free foods that contain erythritol or other polyols

How does Zsweet® Organic compare with other sweeteners?
Zsweet® Organic differs from Stevia® in many ways. Most notably is the taste. Zsweet® Organic is far superior in taste. Zswee Organic is recognized by the FDA as a food (as is sugar). Stevia® is classified as a suplement, Zsweet® Organic is classified as a food and therefore is able to use the word "sweetener" and "sweet" displaying Nutrition Facts, not supplement facts. Zsweet® Organic measures, looks, and flows like sugar. The ingredients in Zsweet® Organic are erythritol, a natural occuring alternative sweetener that occurs in fruits and vegetables and natural flavor enhacers. No herbs or artificial ingredients are used. Zsweet® Organic contains no artificial or irritating fillers or carriers. Many Stevia® brands incorporate other ingredients such as inulin fiber (FOS) to bulk or carry the product and can be irritating during digestion. Zsweet® Organic is zero calorie and zero glycemic effect making it preferable for individuals with blood sugar issues.
Zsweet® Organic does not contain any chemical, altered starting materials or ingredients; not even in trace amounts. Splenda® (sucralose) is a chemical derivative of table sugar (sucrose).
