Xylitol Gum Reduces Ear Infections
Xylitol is best known for its cavity-fighting capabilities although studies have also shown it can reduce ear infections. Studies have also shown that xylitol can strongly impact the bacteria that causes many inner-ear infections.
In one study, children who regularly chewed gum containing 8 grams of xylitol per day had an almost 50% reduction in ear infections.* For this reason, Epic is pediatrician recommended and healthy for kids.
