This is a great flavored gum! My dentist recommended it but I was able to find it on the internet for about four times less! I keep it in the cabinet and even my teenagers chew it. It's much better for teeth than even sugarless gum. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Xlear Spry Gum Blister Tray, Fruit Fresh, 10 Count (Pack of 20) (Health and Beauty)

I love this gum because it's at least comparable in taste to the sugar free gums on the market that contain nutrasweet or other chemical sweeteners. I've explained to my son why we don't buy Tri-dent and other brands, and since I give him a viable alturnative he's satisfied to just have a decent gum. I like this flavor in particular, as compared to the other Spry flavors (peppermint, cinnamon) because, for some odd reason, this one doesn't get hard like the others. It stays soft for a long time and, despite what other reviews have said, I think it keeps a decent flavor for a while. Obviously not as strong as the first few minutes, but it keeps a neutral pleasant fruity taste for a while. Try a pack from a natural food store first if you don't want to invest in a mega box.

This review is from: Xlear Spry Gum Blister Tray, Fruit Fresh, 10 Count (Pack of 20) (Health and Beauty)

My dentist recommended Spry, so I thought I'd give it a chance. It's pricier than most of the sugarfree gums I frequent, but it came recommended by an oral expert, so I figured it would be worth a try.

NOT WORTH IT.

Literally, after less than 4 minutes, the flavor is completely gone, and the gum itself reverts to a stale, slightly metallic, tough-to-chew state of existence. I'm not sure how much teeth cleaning the Xylitol in the gum itself is doing because it seems to lose flavor so fast. Correct me if I'm wrong, but xylitol is a sweetener, so if the sweetness of the gum is lost after a good (or bad?) 3 minutes, then there really wasn't that much Xylitol to begin with?

Also, further research showed that you actually need more xylitol than the amount in the gum itself before it proves to be beneficial.

Given how much xylitol is in the Spry gum, it's neither good nor bad to be chewing Spry, and what tips that balance towards "No Thanks" is the fact that it is not worth its value.

Also (this is USEFUL), out of the three Spry flavors I've tried, inclusive of Green Tea, Spearmint and Citrus, I do have to say this flavor is the best tasting. It's original, not too artificial tasting, and does taste pleasant. Unfortunately, it only lasts for a couple of minutes, so it's a fleeting pleasure at best.
