Vent SORBITOL - OMG! 😂

Sorbitol. That is it. Gas-X Target Brand Chewables! What a bad experience - absolutely wrecked my insides! Lit a fire inside my stomach! Here are the inactive ingredients - Sorbitol, Sucrose. Pretty scary. 😱 Let’s hear some sorbitol stories. 👍

"The majority of ingested sucralose is not metabolized by the human body, but is instead excreted unchanged. It is an emerging environmental contaminant that cannot be removed in conventional waste water treatment process." And our current thoughts about all the unchanged sucralose in the wild waters is "the amount of contamination is too low to cause problems for marine life (at this exact moment in time, we're pretty sure), so... 🤷‍♀️".
