Briefly speaking, xylitol is a substance used as a substitute for added sugar. Its 40% fewer calories than sugar makes it a healthier alternative for diabetics or people with other metabolism-related problems. And if you look up the ingredient list of chewing gum and mint, you'll find xylitol.
Its sweet taste on your tongue should give credit to its sugar and alcohol molecules. But don't mistake the alcohol as something that makes you drunk.
