Re: Gum!!!
I usually just buy the sugar free kind. When you subtract the sugar alcohol from the carbs the net carbs are zero. But I usually do not have more than two sticks of it a day. And I don't chew it everyday.

Re: Gum!!!
I checked a lot of them and they all contained Aspartame which to my understanding it is not good at all.Originally posted by callog View Posthighest 230 ---- started atkins------current 175 lbs

Re: Gum!!!
I checked all sugarless gums a few weeks ago at my local warehouse store (BJs), and the only one withOUT aspartame is Dentyne.Originally posted by Summerdressgirl View PostAl - M/56/5'9"

Re: Gum!!!
I've read that Orbit is also without aspartame. Erythritol or xylitol sweetens that one.Comment

Re: Gum!!!
Like I said previously, all of the major brand sugar-free gums have aspartame, except Dentyne.Originally posted by cleochatra View Post
All of the Wrigleys, which includes Orbit, have aspartame AND acesulfame K (Ace-K) and sucralose.Al - M/56/5'9"

Re: Gum!!!
Hi Summer,
This may sound a little ghetto, but what I do is just bite of a small piece of one piece of gum, (say about 1/4 or 1/3) and it works just as well as providing a fresh clean feeling. That way, in one day, I only end up having 1 or 1/2 a piece of gum and I have more room for Splenda, if I choose to have it.
Also, bad breath is sometimes caused by ketosis, but it can also be exacerbated by eating more protein and dairy products. I floss and use a tongue scraper and mouthwash every day (newlywed and have not noticed an increase in sour mouth. Sometimes it can be the food you're eating. The tongue is always an indicator. It should always be pink and not whitish or yellowish.
