Falim Sugarless Plain Gum Individually Wrapped, Mint Flavored, 100 Piece

This gum is great for those who use gum to sate hunger while fasting. With 0 calories, rather than the 5 calories in "sugar-free" gum, it is far less likely that insulin will be released.This gum is also great for strengthening the jaw. This could be a downside for many people, but this gum is harder to chew than most gum. It softens quite a bit as you chew, but it is a bit of a workout at first. I had a significant amount of muscle tissue and a salivary gland removed when I had surgery to remove a malignant tumor from my face. Until I started using this gum, I would frequently get pain in my jaw and in the right side of my face. I no longer experience that discomfort.Biggest downside is flavor. It is like someone walked the gum through a room full of mint. That said, it isn't unpleasant, and if the goal is to relieve stress, strengthen the jaw and facial muscles, or to replace "sugar-free" gum in a diet, this is a great option. I buy this product frequently.

26FI have never been a gum chewer or the kind of person to enjoy gum. However, if you’ve heard of mewing or jaw strengthening then that’s probably why you’re here.Let me start off by saying that this is not anything like typical American gum. It is NOT sweet, sugary, soft, and super minty. Some of these reviews are a tad dramatic in describing the taste. It is not disgusting or bad. It has a very subtle mellow mint flavor, not sweet at all, but the texture is superb.It starts out very tough, and continues to keep its texture throughout chewing. I would not say it would hurt your teeth though.I was worried about getting this gum because of the toughness. I have TMJ, and I was worried this would aggravate it, however I have not had any pain or popping while chewing. The side of my face that has TMJ is less developed, and I have realized this is due to a dependency on one side for chewing. I will update if any changes occur.Overall, I would recommend for strengthening the jaw, masseter muscles, and tongue. I would not recommend if you’re looking for a tasty and flavorful gum for leisurely enjoyment. If you’re on the fence, just try it! The price is extremely low for the amount you get!

I used to chew it in Turkiye and got happy when found it here as well, but it is expensive. It is good for people with diabetes as it has zero sugar, good quality, durability and functionality. Do not chew it if you have crowns and it may pull it off.

Love this stuff. But, it is very different than a lot of other gums. This stuff has barely any taste, and chews like hard rubber. BUT, that's exactly what I was looking for. I needed something to hardcore chomp on to aid with stress and getting off nicotine. I didn't want a bunch sugar, weird flavors or artificial-ness. Nor did I want gum that loses its chew texture or gets thin. Falim is simple, inexpensive, has some serious heft to it, and doesn't soften---at all. No stickiness and pulls stuff out of your teeth.

I was such a fan of this gum since it's so hard to find no-sugar gum. I loved the jaw workout this gum required. I've gone through a lot of it since it chewing helps me focus. While I've known for decades that the ingredient list in cosmetics in the EU even made by the same manufacturer are different than the ones sold in the US because they are much stricter about health dangers, I only recently started looking at things like gum. According to the FDA website starting February 7, 2022, titanium dioxide (E171) will be phased out as a color agent for human and all animal species consumption (see March 3, 2022 FDA article "European Union: Titanium Dioxide Banned as a Food Additive in the EU"). The UK, Japan and the EU severely restrict BHA and BHT (used as preservatives and flavor enhancers) because the substances are suspected to be carcinogenic and have been linked to impaired blood clotting (see Nov 3, 2021 Chicago Tribune article "Common US foods that are banned in other countries" as well as a Dec 18, 2018 NYT article "What Foods are banned in Europe but not banned in the US?"). The reason why it was hard is they are identified by their numbers in the description so here "colorant (E171)" is Titanium Dioxide and "antioxidant (E321, E320)" is E321 is Butylated hydroxytoluene, also known as BHT and E320 is Butylated hydroxyanisole, also known as BHA. I am tossing the rest of my supply and looking for other alternatives.

Like the title says, absolutely zero flavor. Maybe a slight rubbery taste but absolutely nothing overbearing. It smells pretty strong of mint in the package but again. Zero flavor, no mint taste in the slightest. Honestly not that big of a deal to me as I was only looking for a jaw workout. And it is indeed a good jaw workout. Pretty hard in the first couple of chews and remains a tough gum like no other I have tried. Would probably buy again.

Just know that it's a harder texture gum with little flavor, but the texture and flavor stay the same for hours.

I had this gum years ago from a Turkish store once. I remembered it and since Simply Gum from Whole Goods has been giving me an allergic reaction, I wanted to try this Falim gum again. I am not disappointed. It is just what I need. Even though there are synthetic antioxidants in it, I don’t eat this excessively so I am hoping I never get a bad reaction and I pray it never causes anything else bad. At least it has no aspartame in it like another Turkish gum I tried called Nazar. I have two boxes of this home and my daughter’s Turkish father is happy about it because he likes Falim. Our daughter still needs to try it. The flavor is not overpowering like Pur gum which I think was bothering my throat. I am on a low histamine diet because of my heart condition and menopause or lupus symptoms so I am grateful for a gum like Falim that can help me. I need gum sometimes so I won’t have dry mouth or to ease my stomach when it is almost trying to bother me. Honey usually helps my stomach but gum like Falim does too. I’m happy this gum is from Türkiye!
