Questions about Sugar-free chewing gum
What sweeteners are used in sugar-free chewing gum?
Many varieties use polyols such as xylitol, sorbitol or maltitol; others use intense sweeteners such as aspartame or acesulfame K. The ingredients differ by gum, so check the packet if you need to avoid a particular sweetener.
How long should you chew sugar-free chewing gum?
Chew it until the flavour fades, then bin it; gum is not meant to be swallowed. There is no need to keep chewing the same piece once it has lost its flavour.
Can you swallow sugar-free chewing gum?
Accidentally swallowing one piece is usually not a problem: the gum base is not digested and passes through the gut. Avoid swallowing it deliberately, and keep loose pieces away from young children because gum can be a choking hazard.
Is sugar-free chewing gum safe for dogs?
Keep it well away from dogs, especially gum containing xylitol, which can cause dangerous poisoning. If a dog eats any, contact a vet urgently and take the packet so the ingredients are clear.
How should you store sugar-free chewing gum?
Keep it in its closed packet in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. Heat can soften the gum and make pieces stick together.
Does sugar-free chewing gum mean the same as gum with no added sugar?
Not necessarily: “sugar-free” means the product contains very little sugar, while “no added sugar” means sugar was not added but naturally occurring sugars may still be present. Sugar-free gum is usually sweetened with sugar substitutes instead.
