*Note when chewing mentos or gums:

  • Make sure it’s sugar-free candy so that your teeth are not damaged.
  • Do not chew candy when hungry. Because chewing produces acid secretion in the stomach and if the stomach is empty these acids will destroy the stomach layer, causing ulcers.

linha de fundo.

Although mentos can sometimes fit into a healthy diet as breakfast, they are not found in any of the main five food groups that MyPyramid.gov recommends: non-fat dairy, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins.

Mentos high in sugar and simple carbohydrates are classified as foods that provide nutritional benefits, but it will not negatively affect most people to chew mint once or twice.
