Why is sorbitol in gum?
Sorbitol is an artificial sweetener used in sugarless gum and other items. It is what appears as a "sugar alcohol" which it is only called that because the compound looks like a sugar molecule and an alcohol molecule. It is acutally a carbohydrate that sweetens with half the calories of sugar. Most gums contain about 1.25 grams of sorbitol or other chemicals that end in -ol. Sorbitol, in high doses, can however cause irritable bowl syndrome because it causes what is called malabsorbtion and bybasses the intestines almost untouched. So, it'll build up in you if you're a big chewer. It is NOT lethal unless in excessively massive doses, so chew away. Sorbitol is also attibuted to weight loss if you chew around 20 grams per day (about a pack and a half of Stride gum) Hope I helped =] -JustAnotherNerd
