You can break chewing gum products into categories quite quickly by asking a few simple questions, and then pointing out the problems associated with the answers. As a comparison, it should be noted that our ElimiTaste ZAPP and SmokeScreen Chewing Gum lines are Sugar Free, Aspartame Free, and Sweetened with 100% All natural Xylitol. 1) Does the gum in question contain Sugar? Sugar is natural, and it's sweet, but it has more calories than sugar free products. It also can be responsible for Cavities or "Dental Caries" over time. Sugar has lost favor over the last decade as the sweetener of choice in chewing gum. The good news about using only Sugar as a sweetener is that in theory you avoid the use of Articicial sweeteners like Aspartame, Sucralose, and countless others that you will find in most Sugar Free Products. However, most of the chewing gum on the market today that is sweetened with sugar also is sweetened in part by artificial sweeteners. Therefore there are typically no positives about the widely available sugar sweetened gums on the market. |
2) If the Product Doesn't Contain Sugar, what makes it sweet? Take a look at the back of any Sugar Free gum in the market and you probably won't be able to pronounce most of the ingredients. Most are littered with multiple artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Sucralose, and many others. The reason is quite simple. They are very sweet, and very inexpensive. Questions have swirled for years about the safety of artificial sweeteners. They are FDA approved, and they have gone under many levels of testing, and we don't make any radical claims regarding this volatile subject, however we think that you'd agree with our philosophy because it's simple and it makes sense. We don't hear anyone arguing that artificial sweeteners are "good for you", rather, "are they safe?". So, what if you could consume a chewing gum that was not only Sugar Free, but contained an all natural, sugar free sweetener that actually has tremendous health benefits. We've created such a product line with the help of 100% All natural Xylitol. Click here to learn more about Xylitol. |
