    Wy partner chews a lot of gum and I just checked - it contains aspartame. Anyone knows of any decently priced alternatives?

      Full Xylitol ones should not need other sweeteners. Availability probably depends on where you are.

      For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk.

      I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that gum probably contains far less aspartame that soda, so I doubt it’s any cause for concern and probably much better than gum that contains sugar
