The little mint paper thingies
 
I am getting ready to catch a plane and I pitty the person next to me who has to smell my ketosis breath! I thought those little mint strips (you know the ones that melt in your mouth) would be o.k. I mean there is nothing to them, but there is no carb content listed. It has aspertame in it so I know it doesn't have sugar. Does anyone know?

bad breath mad

They're fine. Save your neighbor and enjoy! :)

To the best of my knowledge, there are no carbs in them, but there is aspertame. I've been using them since I started LCing in June with no apparent problems. I like the fresh taste and sinus clearing. I keep a supply of the Wal-Mart brand of cinnamon strips (94 cents).

I read the altoids meltaway strips use splenda. I haven't checked it out.

the listerine brand breath strips have aspertame.i just purchased walmart's "equate" brand breath strips, checking the packaging i see they are made with sucralose which is good if you want to keep away from aspertame.

Altoids strips use sucralose.
