sorbitol and Sjogren's Syndrome

sorbitol has been researched along with Sjogren's Syndrome in 2 studies

D-glucitol : The D-enantiomer of glucitol (also known as D-sorbitol).

Sjogren's Syndrome: Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA and XEROSTOMIA. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis.

"Our findings suggest that products containing mannitol, sorbitol and/or xylitol may contribute to the acidogenic potential of the dental plaque and especially in hyposalivated subjects with high numbers of lactobacilli."3.79Fermentation of sugars and sugar alcohols by plaque Lactobacillus strains.
