Huge thanks to Project Out Loud for having Xlear CEO Nate Jones on to take the xylitol headlines head-on.
Let’s be direct: The headlines got ahead of the science. Way ahead.
Here’s what the scary headlines left out:
* The 2024 research found an association between elevated blood xylitol levels and cardiovascular events. Not proof that consuming xylitol causes heart problems. The researchers called for more investigation. That’s a BIG distinction.
* Your body naturally produces xylitol every day. It’s already in your bloodstream.
* Xylitol is also found naturally in fruits and vegetables you already eat.
* Dose and route of exposure matter. Chewing gum, brushing your teeth, and using a nasal spray aren’t the same as consuming a large dose of xylitol.
We’re not here to tell you to panic. And we’re certainly not telling you to ignore science.
We’re here to challenge the sensationalism and encourage people to look at what the research actually shows.
Because science should drive the headlines. Not the other way around.
Don’t take our word for it. Read it for yourself.

🎃 What happens to all that candy on November 1st? Meet the Switch Witch! 🧙♀️✨
We’re proud to partner with Tricked by the Treat this Halloween, a new tradition that keeps all the magic of trick-or-treating while giving families a smile-smarter way to handle the sugar haul.
Here’s how it works: kids collect their candy, leave some out for the Switch Witch, and wake up to a special swap, like a small gift or better-for-you treats. Kids keep the magic, parents keep their peace of mind. 🍬➡️🎁
That’s where Spry comes in. Our xylitol gum, mints, and kid-friendly oral care make a sweet addition to the swap. Xylitol has been shown to reduce bacteria’s ability to stick to teeth, so you can say yes to the fun AND yes to healthy habits. 🦷💜
👻 Parent tips:
✔️ Talk up the Switch Witch early
✔️ Let kids choose what to keep
✔️ Make the swap feel special
✔️ Keep a mint or piece of gum handy after treats
🎁 A little treat for you: Use code TBTT15 for 15% off orders of $30+ to stock up for your own Switch Witch swap.
Breathe better. Smile brighter. Live clearer. Here’s to a Halloween that’s a little sweeter and a lot smarter. 🧡

Your Top 5 Spry Questions... Answered by Zoey!
You asked, she’s answering. Grab a piece and tune in while Zoey breaks down the questions we hear the most 👇
1️⃣ Does it actually taste good? (spoiler: yes 😋)
2️⃣ Why does it cost more than the stuff at the gas station?
3️⃣ What does xylitol really do for your smile? 💡 Hint: dentists in 15 countries recommend xylitol gum for a reason.
4️⃣ How much should you have in a day?
5️⃣ Can it replace brushing?
Xylitol is a sugar-free sweetener shown to reduce the ability of bacteria to stick to your teeth and gums. Less sticking means fewer tooth-damaging colonies. That’s the Spry difference. 🦷✨

Happy Dental Hygiene Month!
This season is full of sweet treats, and that is totally okay. We just want your smile to feel as good as those treats taste. A few extra small habits this month go a long way.
Here is your simple checklist:
✅ Rinse or chew xylitol after sweets to help keep bacteria from sticking around
✅ Brush gently, twice a day
✅ Sip water between treats
Fresh breath. Bright smile. Bold confidence. From all of us at Spry. 💙

Brush. Rinse. Chew. Repeat. Although doing any of these steps is a great way to improve your oral health 😁

Think all gum is the same?
Think again.
Spry Gum is sweetened with xylitol, which helps fight the cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth—without feeding them sugar.
It’s your mouth’s secret weapon… and it tastes good, too.
Had a blast with @raelynnofficial this weekend! 🎶
So excited to have our name traveling right along with you on this amazing tour.
No harsh additives. Just gentle, effective care!
Find Spry Fluoride-free toothpaste at the link in our bio!
Before! (sort of...) Either brush before you eat or wait at least 30 minutes after you eat to allow your mouth to return to normal after eating food. Best case scenario is to chew a xylitol-based gum like Spry after eating!
The perfect addition to any snack drawer, at work or at home.
Find at a Fresh Thyme or Natural Grocers near you or by clicking the link in our bio!
When the sun is relentless… pop a piece of Spry.
It may not drop the temperature — but the crisp flavor + fresh breath can feel like a mini cool down.
(Xylitol bonus: it moisturize your mouth when summer’s drying you out.)
