As we all now, chewing gum contains gum, but it has more ingredients than we know about.
Chewing gum contains a lot of sweeteners, flavourings, colourings or preservatives.
Current sweeteners are:
Aspartame. It’s a sweetener which is very low in calories. It substitutes sugar.
Sorbitol. It is present in a lot of sweets, because it has not got a lot of calories. But, it has got many problems: the principal problem is that it can cause you stomach ache, and it causes diarrhoea, too. It also makes you loose a lot of weight, and it is not so healthy.
Mannitol. It is a mixture of glucose and fructose. It makes the chewing gum tasty.
