Why is Trident Tropical Twist Sugarless gum listed with 58 carbs when then packaging shows 1 gram & it’s sugarless?

    Ingredients: SORBITOL, GUM BASE, XYLITOL, GLYCERIN, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING; LESS THAN 2% OF: ACESULFAME POTASSIUM, ASPARTAME, BHT (TO MAINTAIN FRESHNESS), BLUE 1, MANNITOL, RED 40, SOY LECITHIN, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 6, YELLOW 6 LAKE.   

    Not all of the ingredients are "sugarless".  They all have some effect on you.  There are 5 artificial sweeteners in them.  Xylitol will increase your blood glucose as well as Mannitol.   I looked at the package and it said 1 carb per stick.  I haven't seen where it says 58carbs.
