I see people in this thread complaining about fake sugar and someone mentioned chewing gum with real sugar. I'm just wondering do they sell xylitol gum in America? I see no point in chewing gum if it's not even healthy for teeth.

Yes they make them here with xylitol. Those are the ones I buy.

Yes, usually they're some sugar alcohol. Only traditional style chewing gums will use sugar.

Oh no. Gum is super not healthy for your teeth in the US.

Wrong, most gum in the US uses sugar alcohols
