How many times have you stood in line at the grocery store check-out counter, listening to your kids nag you for a package of gum? I know plenty of parents who go through the shopping ritual of fending off the impulse buys calling the name of their children. I also know a lot of adults who love chewing gum but may not get it every time because of warnings from a well-meaning dentist about how sugar destroys your teeth. Put your dental fears to rest because most gum nowadays comes in a sugar free form that doesn't harm teeth in any way. The last time my husband and I went to the store he hand to search hard to find a package of gum that contained sugar.
