Aspartame Free Gum

There are a ton of People out there today who like or even love to chew gum but at the same time they really want to avoid aspartame due to personal choice or because of health reasons, usually have limited options. I noticed this myself a number of years back when searching for an Aspartame free gum at my local corner store and I couldnt find anything. I was shocked! That is when I began to look elsewhere for a better product. My search started online, of course.Fortunately there are some companies who have taken advantage of this need and developed gum that is free from the sweetener yet still maintain a great chew with long lasting flavor.
These companies and online merchants usually use other sweeteners to take its place, which have shown to be far less harmful then Aspartame…in fact that stuff really has no business being in our food chain in any way. It was originally labeled as a bio weapon and was developed by defense companies.  Scary stuff indeed. One alternative sweetener that is used is xylitol. They use this sweetener due to its multiple health benefits such as being low in calories, whiter teeth and improved dental health such as prevention and even reversal of cavities.  People who can’t use artificial sweeteners because of phenylanine are also excited to be able to chew these brand’s products because it doesn’t contain any. Products like these are even good for people who are pre diabetic or have diabetes but want to avoid artificial sweeteners, as this is a product for them.
One brand that uses xylitol is Zapp gum. This gum is sugar free as well. It comes in multiple flavors such as cinnamon, peppermint, spearmint and fruit flavor. This brand offers a sample pack in their line of products which features all their different flavors. They offer their gum in packs of 12 boxes, for only $14.99 each. PUR gum is another brand that uses xylitol as well. Their company slogan is very interesting as well, because it says “my gum kicks aspartame”. It comes in different flavors such as spearmint, peppermint, pomegranate and excitmint. This brand offers some extra perks aside from xylitol use, as they are gluten free and vegetarian as well, which makes this gum perfect for anyone with restrictions. The average price for this gum is $2.00 per pack. For me personally I’ll never chew gum laced with Aspartame again…it just makes good health sense for me and my family and Im for sure telling my friends about my own personal research. Id highly advise you to do the same and find out all you can for yourself.
