Analysis updated September 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This gum contains xylitol, a natural sweetener that can help reduce dental cavities and has a low glycemic index, making it a healthier alternative to artificial sweeteners. However, the presence of 'natural flavoring' is a concern due to its lack of transparency and potential for including highly processed substances. The product is moderately processed, which limits its healthfulness despite the absence of artificial colors or harmful preservatives.
