Spry Fresh Natural Xylitol Chewing Gum Dental Defense System - Aspartame-Free, Sugar-Free, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free (Wintergreen, 100 Count - Pack of 1)

This gum is tasty, refreshing, & leaves my mouth feeling clean. It gives you good breath (takes the stink away effectively). I like how it's also a more healthy alternative to other gum. I'm allergic/sensitive to aspartame, so I'm glad this gum does not have aspartame.

1. Xylitol does not have an aftertaste.Taste is Great …. I have Spearmint2. The gum stays chewy. Doesn’t get soft3. Cleanses breath4. Day goodbye to dry moth. A-1

To be fair, I absolutely love Spry's natural fruit and natural cinnamon gums. But this 'peppermint' is really, REALLY horrible. It tastes and smells like Vicks, like the strongest eucalyptus cough drop ever, the kind you have to spit out almost immediately because you can't take it anymore. Now I know what it's like to accidentally eat Vicks lol. I couldn't detect any hint of peppermint at all, the taste and smell of eucalyptus menthol was too overpowering. Gotta admit though, seriously, it really opened up my sinuses after only a cpl of seconds before I spit it out.

I bought this gum, not because I want to chew gum, but because I had read in several articles and also heard from my dentist that xylitol was beneficial for reducing plaque. I looked into any dangers of xylitol and, though, I have found certain murmurs, have not found anything against it that is condemning to the point where I am convinced that it actually harms one's health in any way at all. And even if any of the murmurs were true and proven beyond doubt, which I cannot see that they are, they would be more than outweighed by xylitol's benefits, the way it improves your health (and I am a former biochemical researcher). Again, the benefits appear to much outweigh any perceived or actual disadvantages. Of course, if you reduce plaque, you affect more parts of your body in important ways than you may actually be aware of. I am a person who eats only organic food and live a very fit lifestyle, and though this gum is not organic, it does have only natural ingredients, so the ingredients were important to me, as well. Please note: not all Spry products have just natural ingredients. In fact, only their spearmint and peppermint flavors are completely natural. For that reason, I steer clear of their other flavors. In any event, the taste is very good, and all my students like it too, as I can afford to give it out, buying it in 600 count quantities :) . You do have to be aware the taste is short-lived, and that is the only reason I give it four stars instead of five. However, the lifespan of flavor is NOT the main reason, nor should it be, that I or anyone should buy or condemn this gum. As I said, I am not a gum chewer. But, since I have been chewing it, my gums ARE healthier. Small pains in certain parts of my gums that appeared and disappeared over the last five years have seemingly disappeared completely. My teeth actually feel immediately smoother after chewing too. The unforeseen added benefit for someone my age, is that, with age, often comes a loosening of jaw muscles, which can lead to dry mouth as it has in me, as the mouth tends to begin hanging open all night long promoting inordinate amounts of mouth breathing, instead of nose breathing, so you get extreme dry mouth, which can result in a massive increase in cavities because saliva dries up and saliva helps to break down plaque, control bacteria - ask your dentist - look it up. Anyway, using my muscles to chew this has also helped to keep my mouth closed again at night, which has led to a HUGE decrease in waking up with dry mouth (of course this benefit comes with chewing any gum lol). Anyway, as you may also know, if you pay attention to the health of your mouth, your heart benefits, as well, from decreased bacterial exposure. These are all the reasons I chew this gum. And because it is a hell of a lot cheaper and less painful and less scary than going to the dentist for any fillings or root canals. Just FYI, I've nothing to do with Spry. I just tried it at Whole Foods one day, and then looked for it in less expensive bulk pricing from someone reputable online. I'm not sorry. :)

If you’re more familiar with normal chewing gum, it’ll be awkward chewing a single spry as it’s barely any gum. Two pieces will give you the same chewing experience as a normal stick.It lasts about 5-10 minutes before it starts to harden up and rubberize, which is pretty typical for gum.The amount you get per container, for the price, is pretty generous. If you’re a boredom chewer it might not last long for you but otherwise this is easily a 1 month supply of gum.The flavor itself is in my opinion on par with Bubble Yum and Bubble Tape. It’s absolutely worth trying bubble gum flavor Spry if you are not sure about xylitol gum or Spry as a brand. So good!

This gum has a great spearmint flavor and just as important, it really seems to dissolve plaque on my teeth. I can feel my teeth getting smoother and cleaner which is great after lunch at work. I especially like that it doesn’t contain aspartame or sucralose.

I can't really decide how I feel about the gum yet so I'm just going to leave a neutral review with my experience.The gum sizes are a little too small for my liking so I generally take 2 at a time. So for me there is 50 servings per container which is a fairly good deal and lasts quite a while.The flavor is really good, not too strong and not too weak and great bold cinnamon flavor. The downfall is that it doesn't last very long which is probably in the fact that it's not flavored by a bunch of artificial junk. So kind of a trade off.It's pretty hard when you first start chewing on it but relaxes after a few minutes.It does have a strange aftertaste and oral feeling after you spit the gum out but after a while you get used to it and it's not that bad. I think it's just the type of sweetener.Overall the gum is very different from traditional in store gum. Flavor doesn't last quite as long, has a different aftertaste and material is a little different. The trade off is the ingredients are much healthier for your teeth and my mouth actually feels cleaner at the end of the day. I don't have a sugar plaque feeling on my teeth. I think that's why I have trouble deciding if I like it or not. Unhealthy but flavorful or healthy and not as flavorful.
