I chew a lot of gum....and by A LOT i mean 3 or 4 pieces of sugar free gum a day at most, which seems like a lot b/c I go through like a pack a week- and gum is pricey now a days... Is this bad for me? Am i consuming too much aspartame? I just really like gum! Lol, it helps my cravings and keeps my throat from getting dry while exercising.

It's fine. I would say that is a pretty mild addiction.0

Is it sweetened with Aspartame or Sorbitol? Sorbitol can have a laxative effect in large quantities (not sure how many sticks is too many though).0
