One More Benefit To Sugar-Free
![719k3sXscfL._SL1500_.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaCzyk235qW4B7vGhX1yJJwvoLtnz3TARidLioYpZTWqW/719k3sXscfL._SL1500_.jpg)
In recent years, as more people have tried to rid their diets of excess sugar, it has prompted an increase in products that are sugar free and this of course includes gum.
Today, Wrigley's Extra and Trident are considered two of the most popular sugarless gum options on the shelves, but there are a myriad of competitors in the market too. To be honest, there are a variety that are arguably much higher quality than those two as well.
Chewing gum is a billion dollar industry today, just in the United States alone. Overall, chewing gum represents at least 11 percent of all retail candy sales.
What has been suggested as contributing to the climb is the increased advertisement of the supposed benefits associated with chewing gum.

For example, previous studies have suggested that chewing gum might be able to save millions every year in the way of dental treatments if more individuals chewed sugar free gum after consuming food.
Sugar free gum, researchers suggest, has been known to help prevent decay.
You can find gum with flavors like pumpkin spice pie, birthday cake, gummy bears, root beer float, apple pie, rainbow sherbert, strawberry shortcake, and much more.
According to one study which reviewd scientific literature on the subject across the past 50 years, researchers have concluded that chewing sugar-free gum might help to potentially reduce the deterioration of cavities and could be used as a potential preventative agent for many.
It has been shown to reduce the risk of deterioration of dental cavities by at least 28 percent.

The market for sugar-free gum alone is expected to surpass $14 billion by 2023 and now the sugar-free variety holds more than 50 percent of the global gum market.
The overall chocolate market is valued at more than $130 billion and sugar-free chocolate options still have a long way to go before they capture at least 50 percent of the market.
For those who are looking to find more sugar-free products though, they will be eager to reap the benefits of these growing markets by having access to more and hopefully better products in the long run.
