NONCARIOGENIC COMESTIBLE Noncariogenic comestibles (i.e., food products that do not cause dental caries) may be obtained by employing as a nutritive sweetening system therein a mixture of at least one sweetening agent selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, mannitol, inositol, and xylitol and at least one second sweetening agent selected from the group consisting of dextrose, sucrose, fructose, and lactose, with the mixture containing at least about 75% of the first agent by weight of the mixture. Advantageously, such a sweetening system is provided in candies in association with adipic and/or ascorbic acid as a flavoring agent. |
