Ricochet Gum

Ricochet gum is sweetened with xylitol (a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that comes from the birch tree.) Research points to the fact that chewing this gum after eating both cleans and protects teeth while preventing cavities (because it protect the enamel on the teeth). This is a HUGE upgrade from your typical grocery store gum because there are fewer calories and carbohydrates and it contains no artificial colors flavorings or aspartame.  Check out their flavors including peppermint, spearmint, fruit punch and cinnamon. As a sidenote, chewing gum forces the body to secrete amalayse, a digestive enzyme, which then tricks the body into thinking food is on the way that needs to be digested. Because no food comes and we make enzymes anyway, it's a bit of a false alarm that ultimately depletes our enzyme production so chew gum on occassion, not as an addiction. Nonetheless, we LOVE Richochet gum as an enormous upgrade to Extra, Trident and all the other usual suspects you typically see at the checkout counter.
