It's tricky, because SF chewing gum is sweetened with sugar alcohols. Each of us metabolizes sugar alcohols differently, so while 10 g of ____ [insert sugar alcohol] might mean 8 net carbs for me, they could mean only 2 for you. I think a piece of gum has 2 g of sugar alcohols. According to the American Diabetes Association, half of the sugar alcohols a diabetic consumes should be considered to have an impact on his/her blood sugar levels.

I chew the orbit gum with sugar alcohol.It has one gm per stick,I chew just a pinch, maybe 20% of a stick at a time.Not sure if I have chewed a whole stick yet.A pinch is all that is needed to freshen breath. |
