Actually a few studies have came to light showing that Xylitol can cause blood clotting and lead to possible heart attacks and strokes in humans.

This study summarized that higher levels for prolonged periods caused this risk. The oral dry mouth products, when used as directed, are not providing high blood levels of Xylitol like the drinks and foods that use it for sweetening. We have to weigh risks when we may need the benefits for oral health.
