Eco-Dent Between Dental Gum, Cool Mint — ENGINEERED

Munch or Dump rates Eco-Dent Between Dental Gum, Cool Mint by Eco-Dent ENGINEERED — score 30/90.

A lab-built chewing gum running four stacked sugar alcohols plus maltodextrin and a synthetic gum base, dressed up with added vitamins.

Why this verdict

• Four distinct sugar-alcohol sweeteners (sorbitol, maltitol, maltitol syrup, xylitol) stacked together
• Built on a synthetic gum base, not a whole food
• Maltodextrin and processing additives (gum arabic, carnauba wax) confirm heavy engineering
• Polyol load can cause bloating, gas, and a laxative effect in quantity
• Added vitamins are a token nutrition halo, not real nourishment

Ingredients (16)

• sorbitol (moderate) — Sugar alcohol used as a humectant; can cause GI upset in quantity.
• gum base (moderate) — Synthetic chewable base; not swallowed but a highly processed polymer blend.
• maltitol (caution) — Sugar alcohol that still raises blood sugar and is a well-known cause of bloating and diarrhea at bar-sized doses.
• maltitol syrup (concerning) — A second maltitol source, adding to the total sugar-alcohol load and digestive distress.
• xylitol (moderate) — Sugar alcohol; gentler on teeth than sugar but can cause GI upset in quantity and is highly toxic to dogs.
• DICALCIUM PHOSPHATE (safe) — Calcium fortifier and dough conditioner.
• Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
• Sodium Bicarbonate (safe) — Standard baking leavener.
• Glycerine (moderate) — Humectant that keeps the bar soft; a processing aid.
• Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) (safe) — Added vitamin; harmless but a fortification flourish, not a reason to chew gum.
• gum arabic (safe) — Natural gum used to bind seasoning to the chip.
• Vitamin E (as d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) (safe) — Added antioxidant vitamin; trivial dose, marketing more than nutrition.
• Vitamin A (as palmitate) (safe) — Added vitamin in trace amount; part of the fortification halo, not meaningful intake.
• Maltodextrin (moderate) — Highly processed starch-derived carbohydrate used as a carrier and texturizer; spikes blood sugar readily.
• carnauba wax (safe) — Plant wax used to keep the bears from sticking.
• Citrus extract (safe) — Natural preservative/flavor aid; benign.
