#43: A Cavity Factory
Did you know the majority of gum is sugar-free? That might not be surprising, actually. What is surprising is the fact that this wasn’t always the case. Can you believe most gum used to be made with real sugar? Looking back, this absolutely seems like a conspiracy between dentists and gum manufacturers.
We can’t say we miss these sugar-filled cavity factories. It’s for the best that they’ve become less common. They probably tasted better than our sugar-free options, though. Oh well. We’ll gladly take the sugar-free gum over the chewing stick that will cost us thousands of dollars in dental bills down the road. Not worth it.
