The lesser of two evils!! I do not drink Aspertame but fear effects of dry mouth and teeth. Not usually a gum chewer so chew to release stuff in it, hold in cheek, chewing occasionally. Mouthwashes are used but not real effective. Water doesn't shoot out my ears like the commercial of course, but Mist makes a real noticeable difference in my saliva production, even when no gum in mouth. So benefits outweigh potential risks for me and use when talking a lot or on phone, both which dry me considerably.


It's certainly not a cure, but a band aide for me. Shoot, I take 4-AP, a bird poison, Sure that's worse!!! I drink water when eating, avoid talking and chew a lot. I drink water all the time, No wonder I pee!!!!
