I would be greatly interested in buying some... Never felt like chewing gum had to taste sweet...

My wife now wants to eat wild salmon instead of farmed (which I think is unnecessary, but I respect her desire), so I'll buy some wild salmon and check unsweetened chewing gum.

It is possible that the flavoring was a separate packet.

Naturally unsweetened (but oh, so nasty).

One example: Gum Arabic was used centuries ago for the same purpose and later mixed with flavorings. It was also used mixed with medicines to be a kind of time-release medicine-delivery system.

Look at the sugar-free gums and see which sugar alcohols they contain. Then decide which, if any, you can consume.

I chew sugar-free gum at my movie theater job, to keep my mouth busy so I won't be tempted by the free popcorn. It's 2g of sugar alcohol carbs per stick, and since I don't care about the flavor, just want something to chew, I only chew one stick all day. Aside from making my jaw ache I haven't had any ill effects.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Aside from making my jaw ache I haven't had any ill effects. For those who do want a minty flavor with their gum, try adding a scosh of mint extract from time to time. I used to use tic tacs, but if you do that all day, you'll add significant carbs. I also use other flavors occasionally, or a drop of those super-strong breath freshener liquids.

Here is a link to sugar free gum with xylitol at the Atkins site. It's waaaayyy expensive, but you might be able to find it elsewhere.
