Spry Fresh Natural Xylitol Chewing Gum Dental Defense System - Aspartame-Free, Sugar-Free, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free (Cinnamon, 100 Count - Pack of 1)

I wanted this gum because studies have shown xylitol reduces tooth decay (see Wikipedia quote below). I put this in my kids' lunch, because they have had some issues with cavities, and despite my begging that they brush at lunch, I am very sure they are not. I take this gum also, and I chew it after my lunch. I know my kids will chew this, even if the flavor doesn't last long, because it's gum- and all gum is better than no gum. On the negatives side, if you are looking for a gum that stays soft and chewy and flavorful for a long time, this isn't it. I like the flavor- it's not bitter like some cinnamon gums, but I can't say it lasts long. I chew it, feel it freshens my breath and may help my teeth, and the pretty quickly, when it starts to taste like unflavored rubber, I spit it out. what follows is from wiki: Xylitol is a "toothfriendly" sugar. In addition to not encouraging tooth decay (by replacing dietary sugars), xylitol may actively aid in repairing minor cavities caused by dental caries.[citation needed] Early studies from Finland in the 1970s found that a group chewing sucrose gum had 2.92 decayed, missing, or filled (dmf) teeth compared to 1.04 in the group chewing xylitol gums. In another study, researchers had mothers chew xylitol gum 3 months after delivery until their children were 2 years old. The researchers found that the xylitol group had "a 70% reduction in caries (dmf)." Recent research confirms a plaque-reducing effect and suggests that the compound, having some chemical properties similar to sucrose, attracts and then "starves" harmful micro-organisms, allowing the mouth to remineralize damaged teeth with less interruption. (However, this same effect also interferes with yeast micro-organisms and others, so xylitol is inappropriate for making yeast-based bread, for instance.) Xylitol based products are allowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make the medical claim that they do not promote dental caries.[9]

Good taste. Keeps breath fresh.

Absolutely my favorite gum. It's a bit stiff at first and the flavor isn't particularly durable, but otherwise Spry cinnamon might be perfect. Go elsewhere if you need fiery heat or if you want a thickly resistant blob to chew. Stay here if you appreciate an old-school chiclet experience where each piece crunches at the start and gets totally smooth by the time its flavor begins fading away. Spry is sugar-free and as such is actually kinda' good for your teeth to boot (but be sure not to let any dogs get a hold of this stuff, because xylitol is highly toxic to the non-tooth kind of canines!) Lastly is the packaging: Spry is available in very-reusable & easily-recyclable containers that add bulk-quantity affordability while minimizing waste. This aspect is what really makes Spry cinnamon a no-brainer in my book: totally delicious, with a fun and refreshing chomping experience, as well as more-sustainable packaging that doesn't force you to throw out tiny bits of plastic and foil whenever you grab a piece.

ok five stars, quality product good enjoyable

I was diagnosed with LPR (a form of acid reflux) last year and needed to avoid mint. It’s also recommended to chew gum to aid digestion. Since I would be chewing this gum more regularly, I wanted to opt for something a little more healthy as far as the artificial sweeteners go. I’ve used this gum in the past, so I already knew the flavor didn’t last very long. If you’ve never tried this gum, it is definitely more “natural” and the flavor doesn’t last very long. The consistency is also more firm and a bit harder to chew (compared to your average name brand). Having said that- I still recommend it. It works long enough to do what it needs to do and the benefit of not worrying about aspartame or other nasty artificial sweeteners is worth it (IMO). Great flavor and good price for the size container!

Like other reviewers, I have purchased this gum for years, but now it tastes nasty. It tastes like it was sitting in a moldy basement.

I can't really decide how I feel about the gum yet so I'm just going to leave a neutral review with my experience. The gum sizes are a little too small for my liking so I generally take 2 at a time. So for me there is 50 servings per container which is a fairly good deal and lasts quite a while. The flavor is really good, not too strong and not too weak and great bold cinnamon flavor. The downfall is that it doesn't last very long which is probably in the fact that it's not flavored by a bunch of artificial junk. So kind of a trade off. It's pretty hard when you first start chewing on it but relaxes after a few minutes. It does have a strange aftertaste and oral feeling after you spit the gum out but after a while you get used to it and it's not that bad. I think it's just the type of sweetener. Overall the gum is very different from traditional in store gum. Flavor doesn't last quite as long, has a different aftertaste and material is a little different. The trade off is the ingredients are much healthier for your teeth and my mouth actually feels cleaner at the end of the day. I don't have a sugar plaque feeling on my teeth. I think that's why I have trouble deciding if I like it or not. Unhealthy but flavorful or healthy and not as flavorful.

This is the BEST gum, I like cinnamon, but the others are probably good also.

The volume count of product is most convenient. I just refill my smaller tube that fits in my purse.

Clean your mouth for short time
