Is sugar free gum better for your teeth?

The American Dental Association says the polyols in sugar free gum do not feed the bacteria that cause cavities, and it cites trials of chewing for 20 minutes after meals.

That is a statement about sugar free gum in general. It is not a claim made on the Dubble Bubble bag, and gum does not replace a toothbrush.

Sugar-free gums are sweetened with polyols such as xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol or maltitol, which are noncariogenic.
