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

      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

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