Today I've finally discovered a natural chewing gum which does not contain aspartame.
If you're like me, then you are rather annoyed at the selection of gum at any supermarket checkout.
Virtually every pack of gum is using the artificial sweetener aspartame.
Reasons aside for the inclusion of aspartame in almost every mainstream gum product and the toxic effects of aspartame on the human body (both issues deserving discussion at great length), I would like to simply point out an alternative for you.
The product is called Glee Gum.
The ingredients list is as follows: Cane sugar, glucose, gum base (contains natural chicle), rice syrup, natural spearmint flavor, gum arabic, resinous glaze, beeswax, carnauba wax and chlorophyll.
Glee Gum can be ordered online, but you may be delighted to know that it can also be found at many natural food stores and even some large chains across the United States & Canada.
Using the Gleegum.
com Store Locator it's easy to find a store carrying this natural gum near you.
Chewing gum is an effective way to eliminate bad breath, particularly after a meal or while you're on the run to that big date.
Even though I have a stark objection to the inclusion of aspartame in gum (or any other product for that matter...
) I will admit that during a night out with a beautiful lady my desire for a jolt of refreshing breath often outweighs my knowledge of the dangers of aspartame, and I'll end up tossing a stick in.
Now, with my newfound discovery of Glee Gum, I can chew as much gum as I want - without receiving any headaches or blurred vision I get from chewing aspartame.
And without the guilt of knowingly consuming a toxic substance.
