      I think mints are supposed to be eaten in small amounts. Like, one small mint after a meal if you are on a date or something. It is not really supposed to be a meal.

    Caffeine Gum is able to be purchased at most major brand gas stations. Caffeine Gum contains 2mg of sugar alcohol.
    I asked the attendant if she knew what sugar alcohol was and she didn't have a clue.
    So I came home just now and Googled sugar alcohol and found this video. Thank You!

    Xylitol seems to be okay in small amounts and is probably the least-worst offender of the non-sugar “sugars”; but the overall best quality and healthiest sweeteners you can use are raw honey and coconut sugar.

    ...so...why isn't this stuff used more often? I just had a "Sugar free" candy, and couldn't believe that it was actually sugar free, so that's why I'm looking it up. Why is Aspartme used so much when it tastes like crap, when there are these other sweeteners that tastes great?

    So if a person is trying to substitute sugary sodas, is Stevia safe? The words, "sugar alcohols" is iffy. I am trying to find a good non calorie pop brand with no sugar that is safe. Also, with no artificial sweeteners. Thanks for posting.
