How much sorbitol is in Trident gum?!
Question: I chew gum fairly often, but I'm worried about how much sorbitol and other artificial sweeteners are in them. I've been reading about some negative health affects associated with sorbitol and just want to make sure I'm not consuming too much!

Trident Gum and allot of other sugar free sweets have sorbitol in them.
The Sorbitol works with bacteria in the gut and in excess can cause gas and diarrhea ( Sometimes at the same time ) trust me on this I know!..lol
As with everything, moderation is the key, just be careful. Everyone is different so you will have to experiment to see what your own limits are.
You will know if you have too much!
I ate a half a 500g bag of sugar free jelly sweets one time on a flight, OMG was I in trouble. Cramping pains, gas and you know what!
actually sorbital is alot better that regular sucrose...it causes less caries than sucrose around 50%
