Xylitol has a long history, and was first discovered simultaneously by chemists Fisher and Stahe in Germany and by Betrand in France in the 1890s.  Later, it was discovered in its natural state in some plants and in the 1960s it was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for special dietary purposes.

In 1983, the JECFA (a joint expert committee of WHO and FAO) announced that Xylitol was a safe sweetener for foods, and this was shortly followed by the Finnish Dental Association giving Xylitol its first endorsement in the world.  Xylitol has since been approved for use in Australia by the Food Standards of Australia & New Zealand.

For more than 30 years, dental researches have pointed to Xylitol as a key ingredient in helping to protect against tooth decay.  Since the 1980s, Xylitol was endorsed by many other European countries' dental associations, including Britain and Sweden and, after a three year campaign by school children in the 1990s, products containing Xylitol were excluded from confectionary taxation in Finland.  In fact, the use of Xylitol in Finland is so prevalent that it is used in many Finnish child care centres, with gum pellets chewed after each meal.  Also, the Finnish government is thought to have saved millions of dollars by using Xylitol in its health programs.
