Common questions

Is Extra Mint gum healthy?

Extra Mint gum scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Extra Mint gum?

Extra Mint gum lists 20 ingredients, starting with Xylitol, Sorbitol, Chewing Gum Base, Mannitol and Glycerin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Extra Mint gum contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Extra Mint gum’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
