Xylitol has numerous health benefits. It has shown to be effective fighting bacteria for oral, nasal, and ear infections. It is also shown to prevent bone loss. Of course it is proven to be a good way to prevent cavities.
It has an impressive amt health benefits for an artifical sweeteners, and that is why I would not be surprise to read someday that it can possibly be cancer preventative.
If you google "health benefits of xylitol" you can find more info.
