It proves that with the consumption of crystalline polyol, the pH in the mouth does not go below 5.7 which is the lowest limit where the enamel is attacked.

The non-cariogenicity of a final product has to be considered in its globality.
Besides polyols, other ingredients might lead to cariogenicity.
Thus, we recommend to have your product tested by approved official labs.
