Why PUR gum?
With over 1000 varieties of chewing gum flooding the North American markets, it’s no wonder that these days a quick stop at your local convenience store can be a stress-inducing event. We can be faced with up to several hundred decisions per day, and believe it or not – your gum decision is just as important as what to eat for dinner! If you are like most people, you probably consider how a Big Mac affects your body, what regular alcohol consumption is doing to your insides - but gum? Harmless! Right? I mean, you don’t even swallow it (unless you are a rebellious pre-teen)! Here comes the part where I tell you how oh-so-wrong you are (I know from experience that people don’t typically like to be told they are wrong, but in the interest of full disclosure I was once in your position. Feel better? Good.) For those health-conscious gurus for whom this is not breaking news, we will pause for your cyber pat-on-the-back. Well done! PUR Gum, the new “better-for -you” gum, will do precisely two things. Thing one: it will make your gum choice so simple that you can focus more energy toward the other hundred decisions you will make in your day. Thing two: it will give you comfort to know that you are freshening your breath with natural colours and flavours (peppermint, spearmint, and pomegranate mint), natural sweeteners (xylitol – which sounds very ‘science’ but is actually a fancy word for the non-genetically modified corn they use in PUR Gum, you know, the thing that grows in the ground, not in a lab), and not a trace of aspartame.
Aspartame: The Silent Killer
I promised to scare you with the facts on aspartame (a man-made synthetic sweetener found in other sugar-free gums, but of course nowhere to be found in PUR Gum). And throughout my research, good old aspartame did not disappoint! In fact, I did not have to dig deep at all to find the following info, so thank you aspartame, for being so obviously harmful - you have made my job extremely easy.
• Aspartame is a neurotoxin. In layman’s terms: it messes with your brain, man. • There are 92 FDA-reported symptoms resulting from aspartame ingestion. Here are a few doozies: headaches, dizziness, change of mood, vomiting/nausea, and change in heart rate. Are you scared yet?
• Aspartame can be found not only in gum, but in other delightful treats such as diet soda, cereal, fruit drinks, and pudding (to name a few). If you are not an ingredient-checker, you could be ingesting a risky amount of aspartame per day.
• The use of aspartame was rejected by the FDA Public Board of Inquiry in 1980. It was ‘mysteriously’ reinstated after it was found to be a big, fat money-maker. For the long version of where the above info came from, visit http://dorway.com/dorwblog/the-sum-of-it-all. I am not a doctor, an FDA rep, or anyone with the authority to tell you how you should live your life, but you can probably agree that less harmful chemicals in your body would equal more good times. If (despite my pleas) you are unwilling to give up your beloved diet soft drink, or your romantic hot chocolate dates in the winter, at least do yourself a favour and reduce your aspartame intake where you can. Hey, how about starting with your gum!? PUR Gum uses only the natural sweetening qualities of that jack-of-all-trades, corn.
The Benefits of being PUR
Ok, I admit it – I got a little serious on you up there. But there is nothing light-hearted about having a potentially poisonous substance in some of the world’s most beloved snacks - I mean, pudding! Come on; do not ruin wiggly, jiggly chocolate pudding! The great news is, along with skirting the use of evil aspartame, PUR Gum just keeps piling on the benefits. Case in point – the delicious flavouring in the three varieties of PUR Gum are all-natural! This is why a) the taste is so authentic, and b) you can take comfort in knowing that there is not yet another scary additive delivering your favourite flavour and colour.
Imagine it - Pomegranate PUR Gum will actually give you the healthful anti-oxidant power of pomegranates in every chew! What has your gum done for you lately?
Chew, Don’t Swallow
We have been told all our lives not to swallow our gum. Some of us heeded that warning, and some of us decided to experiment with the consequences. But did you ever get the back story as to why gum shouldn’t be swallowed? I mean, it’s confusing, right? Almost everything else that gets chewed also gets swallowed! There are some serious gum-swallowing wives tales out there (including staying in your system for seven years, and strangling your intestines), but what really does happen when you swallow your gum?
It is true that your stomach is not able to break down most of the gum’s ingredients, but the digestive system is capable of moving the gum through the normal process (i.e. it is discarded from your body eventually!) However, if your swallowed gum contains potentially harmful chemicals and sweeteners such as aspartame, this means a more prolonged exposure of those pollutants in your system.
Swallowing your gum is probably not the best means of disposal, but you may want to make sure that it’s naturally sweetened and flavoured Pur Gum just in case!
PUR gum, Safe for Diabetics
You already know that Pur Gum is GMO and aspartame-free. You know that it’s vegetarian-approved. You know that it’s naturally coloured, flavoured, and sweetened. You know that it tastes great! You want more? Well ok, we thought you’d never ask…
According to the CDA (Canadian Diabetes Association) more than 3 million Canadians have diabetes - a life-long condition for which there is no cure. It occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin (a hormone that controls the glucose levels in the bloodstream). Because of this, diabetics must be extremely cautious when it comes to their sugar intake. Enter Pur Gum!
Xylitol (the natural sweetener we use in Pur Gum) has been recommended to diabetic patients as an excellent sugar substitute. Xylitol does not cause a dramatic increase in blood sugar levels – yay! As it is a low-glycaemic sweetener, it is slowly absorbed into the system independently of insulin.
What’s more, Xylitol is a low-calorie sweetener that can help diabetics (and everyone else!) with weight control. Add one more to the list of Pur Gum benefits!
