There’s a sugar alcohol called Xylitol (comes from birch trees) that doesn’t feed tooth decay bacteria. So it’s used a lot in dental products like toothpaste. But the thing about xylitol —( besides its being poison to dogs) if you’ve ever cooked with it you know it has a sort of “cooling” aftertaste.

What flavor goes well with that? Mint. Maybe wintergreen or cinnamon too, but consumers like mint so in most cases… mint it is
