    that is excellent cause I am an avid gum chewer lol I do it when I am trying avoid smoking and when I go on my walks to keep my mouth wet since both hands are full of weights I can't carry a water bottle. So it's great news for me!

    Its has been found that gum chewing can cause weight gain and cause gas bubbles and bloating just like drinking through a straw. So many opinions out there.

    I find that chewing gum helps to eliminate snacking as well. Great news that it burns calories too.

    I chew gum to keep my mind off being hungry. LOL It keeps my mouth busy. Again, lots of different opinions though.
