acceptable and legal but still very damaging) my only remaining
addiction seems to be chewing gum.
I've done a bit of studying on the various gums out there, and found
that there are chewing gums which use nothing but xylitol as their
sweetener. However, these are relatively expensive.
The "Extra" brand of chewing gum uses sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and
the baddie aspartame, but is much cheaper than the pure xylitol
gums. In reality, sorbitol and mannitol have much LOWER glycemic
indices than xylitol -- they are better for you as sweeteners than
xylitol, at least from a glycemic index point of view.
The aspartame content of the chewing gum is of concern. However, my
aspartame intake from the gum is the equivalent of 6 ounces of diet
soda a day on the worst days, and more like 3 ounces of soda on
average days. ( 1/4 to 1/2 can of soda a day).
The gum tastes so SWEET it freaks me out -- I keep thinking "this
can't be good for me". However, I've done several muscle tests on
the gum, and they all say the same thing -- the gum isn't a problem.
Any feedback?
