  • It's crazy how unknown xylitol is all over the world. Here in Finland all the domestic gum is sweetened with xylitol and dentist's even recommend and 'prescribe' the gum for kids to keep theirs teeth healthy

  • ... yes but avoid any candy or gum with aspartame or sodium fluoride!

  • @AdverbAdjective Yay!! Thank-you so much for letting me know! I am definitely going to try it :)

  • I have only found one brand of gum that had zylitol and no artficial sweeteners or sugar , it was Breathe RX brand. It was really refreshing but not the most enjoyable gum after a short time but I loved it to refresh my breath. I will probably have to buy it online.
