Chewing gum
I was wondering if chewing a lot of gum is bad for you? I can get through a pack of 10 sticks in a day. Is this bad? (the gum is sugar free)

I wonder why there is no study on this. Would seem to be a very easy one to undergo. Originally Posted by IainDaniel

...I think.

I used to have 10-12 of sugar-free gum a day. and kept losing weight.. just make sure the rest of your diet is good.

Which is basically a huge exageration as there have been no studies etc and chewing chewing gum (sugar free at that) is not going to hugely desensitise your receptors that are responsible for insulin secretion Originally Posted by fufu

I never said that chewing gum does that. I was explaining why he may want to be concerned about insulin secretion. Originally Posted by Martinogdenbsx

Sugar-free gum usually contains sugar alcohols, which would count as equivalent to a percentage of sugar. It's not much but if you want to be really picky or if you eat a lot of gum then it may be something you might want to avoid.

Excess consumption may have a laxative effect..
Didnt for me tho, i used to go thru a pack a day..
If your breath is like death, then perhaps brush your teeth more often?
I brush 3x a day, even have a toothbrush and paste at work
