Yikes! The chis have got a hold of 2 packs of gum Luckily they were ok. That's so scary! I can't leave anything laying out. Someone we know works for Wrigleys and we always have huge amounts of gum around here. I will definitely be more careful.
It's not just any sugarfree gum...it has to have xylitol in it. But since xylitol is getting really good press on its amazing ability to actually keep teeth from getting cavities, I wouldn't be surprised if ALL sugarfree gum had it soon. I know it's in Orbit.
I know, that's the only kind of gum we'll chew here. But it's not worth the risk of the dogs even finding old, chewed gum in our trash.
I do believe that most sugar free gum has aspartame and believe this is a similar ingredient. Aspartame is a poison to people so I don't eat or drink anything with it in. Aspartame is also called nutrasweet. Surely wouldn't want my girls to get anything with that in.
