Wondering If There's a "Healthy" Chewing Gum Out There

Trader Joe's carries "Glee Gum" and Whole Foods carries a wider variety....

Gum bought at traditional stores has all the "nasties" and should be avoided like the plague.

The discount health food store Fruitful Yield, carries a gum by spry, that comes in many different flavors. We use this at my house a everyone is satisfied. they also make a wonderful toothpaste, that was my first experience with the company. They sweetten with xilitol, which is actually good for repelling bacteria in the teeth that cause cavities.

Yes, there is!! It is called Glee gum and you can buy via Amazon and I believe whole foods. Like you, I didn't want the artificial sweetners and such. There is orange, cinnamon (I love), peppermint and buble gum flavors! It is a natural gum! Hope you enjoy it! If you use amazon, it gets here fast!

My friend buys some for her kids but I don't know the brand name. I'm sure you can find something like that at Whole Foods or Fruitful Yield.

There used to be ones with xylitol when I used to chew gum many years ago. Xylitol is a sweetener made from birch bark I believe. The European Dentist association uses xylitol to help prevent cavities. where the US uses fluoride. Personally, I"m not a fluoride fan.

google it and see what you find. personally use a toothpaste that is sweetened with xylitol because of it's natural qualities and it is non toxic.

I chew EXTRA. It's sugarfree and good. Cheap at Walmart and produce stores everywhere.

I like Xlylichew. Some of the natural gums stick to your dental work, but I don't find this one does. I get it at Fruitful Yeild.
