Sugar free gum

[audiophyle]

I love this stuff, extra sugar free gum. No carbs, no fat, no nothing. I'm not doing ckd anymore so the aspartme is not a problem. is there anything else in this stuff that should stop me from chewing on it 24/7?

actually there are carbs in sugar free gum: sugar alcohols (polyols)

and about 250 calories /100g

 

[audiophyle]

really? well that sucks... its not on the package.

 

[ZKaudio]

yes
it is on the package. it says sugar alcohols : 2 g's
(usually)

250 calories for one slice???? I;m sure one piece is not going to kill anyone.

 

[anthrax]

I think I have writen 250 calories/100g

1 tablet = a few grams

so 1 piece = between 2 and 4 calories

Trident white and Orbit are 1gr carb (coming from sugar alcohol) per piece. Serving size on most of those says 2 pieces.

if you were on a CKD I would worry about sugar alcohols, but if not, apparently they do nothing to insulin... but they can kick you out of ketosis

 

[ZKaudio]

they can still refill liver glycogen... then glucagon will pull the liver glycogen out when your blood is low... which is all the time when on a ckd, so voila... no more ketosis

Orbit in the blue pack is the shiznit. It gives me that Just brushed Clean feeling.
