Carbs in chewing gum?

I can't seem to find any data on the carbs in gum? Does it count if you just chew it and don't eat it? :lol:

I usually have a couple of pieces of Airwaves Menthol & Eucalyptus per day, and although it says sugar-free I'm worried it's upping my carb levels :/ does anyone have any suggestions?

    sugar free gum has sugar alcohols in it. some people are more sensitive to those than others. many people subtract out the sugar alcohols. it all depends on if it affects you or not. I tend to do fine with some sugar alcohols and not well with others. either way even though you are not eating it you are getting all the sweet juices out of it and that's where the carbs would be, if any.
