It’s no secret I love trying new, healthy products. In fact, it seems I’m always looking out for healthy additions and alternatives for my family. But did you know that the hubby and I have been depriving ourselves of gum for the past few years? I know, it sounds crazy, but the truth is that we’re petrified of Aspartame and the harmful effects it has on our bodies. I know you’re probably thinking we could still buy old-school gums if we wanted, but they’ll just give me cavities and honestly it’s not like they freshen my breath, so why bother?

Well the good news for us is that as of recently, we are back to enjoying freshening gum again – and OH MY WORD have I ever missed it!

I want to tell you about PÜR Gum – an Apartame/gluten free, expectant mother, allergy, vegan and diabetic-friendly gum. Here’s what PÜR Gum has to say about it’s products:

PÜR Gum is the #1 selling aspartame-free better tasting, long-lasting gum. Now there’s a great tasting gum made especially for people who are looking for a healthy alternative to aspartame-free chewing gum…Most gums on the market are made with the ingredient Aspartame- a man-made synthetic sweetener that’s been linked to many diseases. The FDA has listed 92 acknowledged symptoms of aspartame poisoning (we’re not making this stuff up). There’s hope everyone! PÜR Gum is sweetened with Xylitol, a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol found in corn cobs and stalks which a healthy alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.

Sounds pretty impressive, right? But wait – I haven’t even told you how this gum tastes (I know you’re probably just as weary as I was) – but guess what? It’s fresh, enjoyable to chew, tastes great and lasts just as long as Aspartame-laden gums on the market – you know the ones I’m talking about, and if you don’t, read the packaging the next time you stop for gum. You will be shocked.

So what’s the catch? Well here’s the thing: there isn’t one – seriously! PÜR Gum is healthy, natural, and even recommended for expectant mothers, children, diabetics, and celiac patients! And of course it is also nut-free, dairy-free, casein-free, lactose-free, soy-free, peanut-free, and egg-free, so you need not worry about your loved ones’ allergies. :)

And because it’s aspartame and GMO free, vegetarian friendly, with no artificial colors or flavors, I can even let go of some of my mommy-guilt now and then and offer it as a special treat to my little monster, too. The best part is that he’ll never even know that every piece of PUR Gum contains 1 gram of Xylitol – which is proven to help prevent plaque and dental cavities by 80% :) Sneaky, sneaky ;)

The flavours available include eXcitemint, spearmint, peppermint – and get this: Pomegranate Mint! I know, pretty cool, right? They all taste great, but I have to say the extra punch of flavour in the Pomegranate Mint really tickles my fancy.
