Sugar Substitute

One of the great advantages of sugar substitutes as compared to standard, processed sugar, is that they can be eaten without causing any damage to a person's teeth. Of course, we all know that we should clean our teeth after all meals and certainly after eating sugary foods or drinking high-sugar drinks, but it can be difficult to do this in the real world. For example, on long journeys, it's important to eat, but people will not necessarily want to clean their teeth in the bathroom on a train or plane or in a roadside café. Chewing gum can help (by stimulating saliva, which helps to clean teeth) but a better solution is to avoid the sugar while still enjoying sweet foods at the end of a meal.
