You're gonna have to do some research on the dissolvabilty(is that a word?) of the crystals. I know that people bake with it...anyway, I DO think that a xylitol swish is a GREAT idea. I guess that that's the premise behind putting it in gum...prolonged..contact?
Now, using it in a swish, you could "up" the dose, too...gotta think about the point of diminishing returns, though...more is not always better...:)
ok, my Dear, you've got your assignment. Formulate a super-swish and report back! :D

ps...I completely agree with you on corn syrup!
& I actually think that Sugar ingestion triggers alcohol cravings, not Sugar alcohol ingestion...could be wrong on that one though..
