Cola has been removed, references a part of the plant cut from the wood. Needs expanded definition/uses - Can find one bare reference, in those provided. --T.w.holman (talk) 01:57, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

This needs to address the history of these twigs, archaeological artifacts of their usage, etc. It only focuses on the contemporary, which is not enough. 76.66.192.49 (talk) 14:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. I'm working on a Western screenplay set in 1890, and am trying to be as historically accurate as possible. The thought occurred to have the characters using chew sticks (though the audience might find it distracting). More information would be useful.

Use of birch twigs

Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Is it possible that the xylitol content of birch trees was part of the reason ancient peoples used birch twigs to clean their teeth (since xylitol has been found to protect teeth from plaque and tartar)? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 19:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
