As a child growing up, did you ever hear your parents lecture you about keeping your teeth clean? While children often assume that parents just want to ruin their fun, the truth is – they are just trying to save money! From fillings to root canals – dental work isn’t cheap! One of the best ways to get kids to take care of their teeth is by adjusting their diet. Many children have several sweet and processed food products multiple times throughout their day. What if you could swap out a bag of Skittles for a more healthy option like an apple? Good news – you can! Chums offers a product that is high in fiber and slows down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream, ensuring a more gradual release of energy.

Thankfully, innovative brands like Chum who are leading the way when it comes to corporate responsibility. Chums donates 15% of their profits to Wild Aid.
