It's not something that I'd expected but since I've been using xylitol regularly, I haven't been getting tonsil stones!
Tonsil stones are gross little calcifications of trapped food and bacteria in the tonsils. I've been getting them since I was a little kid.
It took maybe two months of regularly (4-6 time per day) rinsing with a homemade xylitol mouthwash before I noticed that I wasn't getting tonsil stones any more.
I wouldn't recommend using xylitol to substitute normal sugar in your diet but I'm now completely convinced that there are very real benefits to using xylitol in things like mouthwash and toothpaste.
