Refreshing, delicious mints. Sugar-free and sweetened with 100% xylitol. Studies have shown that xylitol may help reduce the risk of tooth decay and dental plaque acid production. For best results, take 1-2 mints after every meal and snack.

Yum!Jan 14, 2006

Well, I'm not sure yet about the advantages of xylitol for your teeth, since I just got my mints today, but I can tell you that it sure tastes great! These are the berry flavored mints, so they're not really mints at all, but wonderful little candies. They are terribly yummy and their texture is superb! I definitely recommend these! If they really do help with my cavities, I will call them a miracle!
Update: I used to have cavities every time I visited the dentist, every six months or so. But thanks to Xylitol, I haven't had a cavity in 2 years. IT'S A MIRACLE!!!

Taste Good but Made in China!Sep 12, 2007
By Jack Rothman My dentist told me to get these mints to stop tooth decay. They taste great and I would have no problem EXCEPT that they are made in China. I didn't know that when I ordered them. After reading about the poisonous toothpaste, lead based toys and deadly dog food, I do not trust pharmaceuticals or other edibles compounded in China.

Great TasteJan 31, 2010
By TC Works ok for breath, but that's not why I eat them. They taste great and my dentist said they are good for my teeth. We'll see what he says on my next visit in march. But otherwise these are very good tasting. Sweet, but not overpowering, and the fruit flavor is way more enjoyable than peppermint or a similar flavor.

Excellent flavor, excellent dental care...Mar 26, 2011
By B. Forooghi

I'm actually a Dental student. I started myself on Xylitol when I learned of the advantages during dental school. Xylitol is a natural sugar that is not fermentable by bacteria. What that means is that it does NOT promote dental decay and in fact, Xylitol has been shown to actually reduce bacteria levels. Research is being done to figure out what in the Xylitol is actually doing the reducing, but for now, it is highly effective at reducing bacteria by 30-60% (YES THAT IS AN ENORMOUS PERCENT).
The user must have at least 6g of Xylitol/day across multiple instances. That equates to 4 of these mints after each of your daily 3 meals. The Spry gums have 50% more Xylitol content so, 8gums/day, chew for 5 min or until no longer sweet.
The berry flavor is just outstanding. I could replace popcorn during a movie with these (although not such a good idea to have either during an extended period). I've tried the lemon burst flavor too and it's not good. I could argue that the lemon burst flavor isn't even tolerable let alone good, and tastes rather acidic which would be bad for teeth...
Other things to note: This is not a sugar like Stevia or some other non-carious sugar. Stevia and sugars like it are good for diabetics and people with high caries risk because it's a natural sweetener that has none of the effects that sugar does (either on bacteria or the body). Non-carious sugars do not reduce bacteria. Xylitol actually reduces the presence of bacteria.

Non-minty mintsJan 03, 2007
By Shannon Hully I know when I hear the word "mint" I have expectations of mint flavour so I didn't know what to expect from these. There is NO mint flavour, only raspberry flavour. They're delicious!
