Beware, too much Extra Dessert Delights Sugarfree Gum can really mess up your stomach. I was hurting and had to look it up. Below are the side effects of the main sweetner of this gum, sorbitol.

Overdose effects
Ingesting large amounts of sorbitol can lead to abdominal pain, flatulence, and mild to severe diarrhea.[16] Sorbitol ingestion of 20 grams (0.7 oz) per day as sugar-free gum has led to severe diarrhea leading to unintended weight loss of 11 kilograms (24 lb) in eight months, in a woman originally weighing 52 kilograms (110 lb); another patient required hospitalization after habitually consuming 30 grams (1 oz) per day.[17]
This is way too bad because I could chew a pack of Rootbeer Float a day.
