 Love Wrigley's gumJan 13, 2011
By Twinsburg Mom
I chew a lot of gum to keep me awake and this is the most minty of all the ones I've tried...and best of all, it was available for a really good price on Amazon.

Doublemint is greatFeb 27, 2011
By J. D. Meyer
I found that Doublemint lasts longer than any "long lasting" gum. It's also the best tasting. Part of that reason is that it uses natural sugar as the sweetener. The sugar does cause plaque buildup, so I got to brush my teeth more often when I'm chewing this gum.
Also the "Cancer warning" review is unfounded, the person who wrote that doesn't know how to do research.
 Artificial Sweeteners ruined a great gumApr 18, 2012
By Ben Atum
"As Above, So Below"
Their use of artificial sweeteners ruined a great gum. Their gum used to be the best and now I can no longer by it. They had a great thing going. I will not risk the controversial health side effects on myself nor my family
Wrigleys lost a long time consumer.

 Cancer Alert...Feb 09, 2011
By R. Gonzales
This gum has PHENYLALANINE, which causes cancer. I Googled the on the causes of PHENYLALANINE, it also causes brain damage.
Phenylalanine, aspartame,acesulfame are cancer causing products.
Wrigley gum claim that * Acesulfame K
* Aspartame
* Maltitol
* Sucralose
* Sorbitol
* Xylitol "...do not promote tooth-decay." however, any sugar, fake or real, promotes tooth decay, not chewing it will prevent tooth decay.
Here is some evidence for cancer causes, especially if You take Doctor's advise seriously. We probably take it for granted, but it may be harder then we think for an doctor to come forward with evidence contradicting many others, especially among their colleagues. So, we should sincerely consider this:
-Louis J. Elsas, II, M.D.

"I have considerable concern for the increased dissemination and consumption of the sweetener, aspartame (1-methyl N-Laspartyl-L-phenylalanine) in our world food supply. This artificial dipeptide is hydrolyzed by the intestinal tract to product l-phenylalanine which in excess is a known neurotoxin. Normal humans do not metabolize phenylalanine as efficiently as do lower species such as rodents, and thus most of the previous studies in Aspartame effects on rats are irrelevant to the question, "does phenylalanine excess occur with Aspartame ingestion?" and if so "will it adversely affect human brain function?"
Preliminary studies in my laboratory provide tentative positive answers to both questions. Many studies of both acute and chronic ingestion of 34 mg Aspartame/kg/day have demonstrated a two to five fold increase in semi-fasting blood phenylalanine concentrations (from approximately 50 to 250 pM) without concomitant increases in tyrosine or other amino acids. The degree of increase by normal humans depends on several variables including the efficiency of gut transport, liver utilization, and growth rates. It was thought by many scientists and clinicians that this degree of blood phenylalanine increases would not affect brain function.
However, currently available information indicates that this is not true.
1. In the developing fetus such a rise in maternal blood phenylalanine could be magnified four to six fold by the concentrative efforts of the placenta and fetal blood brain barrier. Thus a maternal phenylalanine of 150 pM could reach 900 pM in the developing fetal brain cell and this concentration kills such cells in tissue culture. The effect of such an increased fetal brain concentrations in vivo would probably be much more subtle and expressed as mental retardation, microcephaly, or potential certain birth defects.
2. In the rapidly growing post-natal brain (children of 9-12 months) irreversible brain damage could occur by the same mechanism.
3. In the adult we have found that changes in blood phenylalanine in these concentration ranges are associated with slowing of the electroencephalogram, and prolongation of cognitive function tests."
