Be aware if you are careful about aspartame- it is in so many kinds of gum. On the other hand, if you find gum with only xylitol as the sweetener, it tends to have a laxative effect- which is probably okay with most of us!
I believe Dentine Classic is aspartame free and probably some others you can get online or at a health food store.
