Breath Mints

[Renfield]

Hi

anyone have any recomendations for breath mints that are ok to use?

I bought a pack of wrigleys Extra Mints, sugarfree, but per 100g seems very high in carbs.

Nutrition Facts
Typical values per 100g
Energy 1015 kJ / 244 kcal
Protein 0g
Carbohydrate
of which 98.5g
(1.72g per mint)
sugars0g
polyols98.5g
starch0g
Fat
of which 0.8g
saturates0.8g
Fibre 0g
Sodium 0g

Obviously 1 mint wont make a huge difference, but is there a better alternative?

The carbs are all polyols or 'sugar alcohols' which I think don't count as they won't affect your BS. Google polyols for for info.

Thanks for the message. I did google it, and I found my way back to this thread http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/them-polyol-things-you-get-in-low-sugar-sweets.8589/

I think I should be ok, as long a I don't guzzle the sweets

i posted this question a few weeks ago and was recommended a little tub of mints which are sold at aldi by the sweets section. Lidl also have a good one again in the sweets section. Both are in little tins.
