Spry Gems Mints

 

 

 

  So what are Spry Gems Mints you ask...

 

  They are mints that are sweetened with only Xylitol.

 

  So what is Xylitol...

 

  Xylitol is a natural sugar produced in fruits, vegetables, birch trees, and found naturally in the human body.  It contains 40 percent fewer calories than sugar, has a low glycemic index of 7, can be used in place of sugar for baking, and has been shown to improve dental health and control bacteria that cause ear and nasal infections. 

 

  Here are a few quotes from some professionals about Xylitol:

 

  "As an anti-plaque and anti-caries (tooth decay) agent, xylitol is possibly the most promising development since the introduction of fluoride."

Dr. Ronnie Levine, London Times, August 2001

 

  "Maternal use of xylitol chewing gum can prevent dental caries in their children by prohibiting the transmission of MS (Mutans streptococci) from mother to child."

Journal of Dental Research, November 2000

 

  "Xylitol was effective in reducing the occurrence of dental caries in both adults and children and hightlighted that xylitol is clearly superior in this effect compared to other non-cariogenic sweeteners."

Journal of American Dental Association, August 29, 2001

 

  Spry Gems Mints come in a 40 count package in your choice of 5 flavors (Lemon Crème, Cinnamon, Spearmint, Berry, and Peppermint). 

 

  Mommy in PA:  I must say that I have had a blast sharing these with my family and friends over the past couple of weeks.  Everyone loves them (adults and kids alike).  They remind me a lot of the "Certs" my mom used to carry in her purse to church every Sunday.  I was kinda missing those, but not anymore thanks to the Spry Gems Mints : )

 

  My personal favorite is the Cinnamon.  My kids and the boy I babysit really like the Berry ones the best.  They are all really good though.  The Lemon Crème ones taste a lot like lemon crème pie. 

 

  I also love the container they come in, perfect size for your pocket or purse and easy to open but not easy enough that it falls open and spills the mints everywhere. 

 

  It's an added bonus that these are also good for our dental health and are low in calories.  I've already had a couple of people ask if these were sold in stores so I directed them to the website here.  They currently aren't being sold around my location but I think I will be taking some extra coupons around to the local stores to see if they can begin carrying them because we really like them a lot. 

 

  I have a few samples left in my kit so the first five people who reply below with which flavor they think would be their favorite will receive a sample in the mail : )
