It has come to my attention that even when you do not purchase sugar-free gum or mints, they still include aspartame and such in order to enhance the flavor. I know several people who cannot ingest the questionable artificial sweeteners. I also have found that many of the health store brands of gum usually lose their mint flavor within two chews.
I recently, however, came across XyloBurst which is sugar free AND Aspartame Free. The sweetener is Xylitol which doesn’t have the problems other artificial sweeteners. And, for some wonderful reason, the company has managed to produce a softer gum which retains the flavor for a lot longer. A few other pluses are that it is non-GMO and gluten-free. Some studies have indicated that Xylitol may even reduce the risk of tooth decay and improve oral help.
I found this product on https://www.swansonvitamins.com/. At the time of purchase, the price was under $8 for 100 pieces. Swansons does have sales so it may be more or less when you check it out. It comes in a nice plastic container which makes it convenient for stowing in the glove compartment or a handy nook in your kitchen.

Thank you, Barbara! It’s tricky trying to stay away from aspartame!

My husband is allergic to the stuff and there have been times when he enjoyed something that wasn’t supposed to have it but did. The worst case was a scoop of chocolate ice cream. He checked the ingredients and it wasn’t mentioned but we later found out that it is often used in small amounts to enhance taste. The amount, I guess, is too small to mention.
