📌 Further information
✔️ Sugar-free – most of the carbohydrates consist of polyols (sugar alcohols), which are commonly used in sugar-free chewing gum.
✔️ Warning: excessive consumption of sweeteners (e.g. sorbitol) may cause a laxative effect.
✔️ Phenylalanine: may be present as a component of aspartame (caution advised for those with phenylketonuria).

💡 Tip: Sugar-free chewing gum can help freshen your breath and stimulate saliva production without affecting blood sugar levels, but it is always advisable not to consume large quantities due to the polyols.
