Health Integrity Analysis

Is REV Energy Gum Spearmint truly good for you, or is it just clever marketing? We analyzed the nutritional density, ingredient safety, and processing levels using the CakeID Algorithm. With a calculated health score of 35/100, here is the deep dive into what you are actually eating.

⚠️ Moderate Caution

While free from the most dangerous additives, we detected Yellow 5 (Tartrazine). A synthetic lemon-yellow azo dye derived from coal tar. It is known to cause allergic reactions (like hives) in people with aspirin intolerance and has been linked to behavioral changes in children. It is generally safe in small amounts but worth noting for sensitive diets.

The Sugar Reality Check

This product contains 87g of sugar per 100g. To put that into perspective, that's equivalent to eating roughly 22 sugar cubes directly. While it might taste great, such a high glycemic load can lead to rapid insulin spikes followed by energy crashes.

Final Verdict

Taking into account the macro-nutrient balance, additive risks, and caloric density, REV Energy Gum Spearmint achieves a CakeID Score of 35/100.

Treat Only: Due to the low score, we recommend enjoying this only as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.

Health Recommendations

Sugar Spike

High sugar may cause energy crashes.
