[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fake sugars are bad for you. All of them. You'd be better off simply chewing a regular gum without the xylitol/sucralose/etc. it's not that many calories, about 5-10 calories per stick. It's getting harder to find gum made in the USA without fake sugars, so you might want to try bubble gum instead of chewing gum. Even HFCS is not as bad for you as artificial sweeteners. [/quote] OP here. I chew sugarless gum vs regular gum for dental health reasons. I typically have a stick of Trident once a month or so, so I’m not concerned about overloading on artificial sweetener. But the past week I’ve been working after the kids go to bed and I’ve chewed mint Trident to stay awake/alert. So just wondered if it was spiking my blood sugars. [/quote] I wear a CGM because I am a type 1 diabetic. The answer is yes it will increase your blood sugar levels. A lot of foods that are labeled sugar free will spike your blood sugar[/quote]
