Review: Pur Gum

I always have gum in my purse..... and in my car, and my desk...Usually multiple packs and flavors. Needless to say, I was all in when given the chance to review products from the Pur Gum line.



Pur Gum

Despite my gum loving ways, I tend to be picky about this sticky treat.. Picky in that I don't like my gum to stick to my chompers, and it can't give me a 'sugar-headache' (for those that are sugar sensitive i.e. diabetic, hypoglycemic, or pre-diabetic you may know what I'm talking about).

Pur immediately won me over in the 'sugar-headache' arena. As it's diabetic friendly. {TRULY} diabetic friendly. While lots of products {claim} to be diabetic friendly, that's not always true when they are filled with aspartame. Pur Gum, however, doesn't use the dreaded aspartame, instead it uses a product referred to as Xylitol.

This Xylitol business is new to me, but I am quickly becoming a fan, as I am able to chew all four of the Pur Gum flavors {Wintergreen, Pomegranate Mint, Spearmint, and Peppermint- Yuum!) WITHOUT that awful sugar headache.

I'm also impressed to be able to say that Pur doesn't stick to my chompers. I don't have dental work that sticky gum can damage, but I still don't like gums sticky parts stuck to my pearly whites.

Overall, Pur Gum gets this girls seal of approval, with one teensy itsy bitsy caveat.

Caveat=Pur does tend to lose it's flavor quickly and, for me, harden up. With that said, I would venture to say that it's health benefits are a fair trade. Because really,  if it held its flavor as long as we all think it should, what kind of chemicals would be in it to achieve such a feat? and at what cost to ones health are we willing to put up with that?...for a little extra flavor a little longer?

I {WILL} chew Pur Gum over it's aspartame filled counterparts- HANDS DOWN! 

Want to try Pur Gum for yourself? Do you have a friend or loved one that is vegan , needs treats that are gluten-free, non-gmo, nut-free,  diabetic friendly and/or dairy free? Then Pur Gum is what you've been looking for. Pur Gum can be found on Amazon.com . Some also report to have been able to find it in select health food stores.
