I think your biggest danger would be from the Burt's Bees chapstick. It's made form beeswax which will still have traces of honey in it. Honey being sugar will cause an insulin spike and cause your body to hold onto its fat. Even though the quantity is low it is being introduced into your system transdermally so it's an instant shot of sugar to your bloodstream rather than a slower absorption through your digestive tract.
So, I can sue Burt's Bees for making me a type II diabetic! Brilliant!1 -
When I open my mouth to speak some particles in the air get in my mouth. How do I log that? Does anyone know how many calories are in an average gulp of air?
I heard that if you wear really sticky glossy lipstick it catches some of the air particles on their way in. Kinda like flypaper. That way you can't swallow and digest the air particles. Reduced-calorie air! Yay!
Speaking of the flypaper effect, maybe sticky lip gloss will help with the bugs-in-the-teeth problem so many of you runners and cyclists are talking about...
Oh NOES! I have this really sticky one from Bath and Body works that tastes DELICIOUS. So you're telling me I'm catching extra stuff in it and then ingesting all of it?!?
I didn't think of that.
Goddang all this conflicting science!!! WHO do we believe???1 -
Don't forget the bee body parts also in the wax. Even more calories, but probably some protein as well.1

one word...
semen.
:huh:
Is that in chap stick??? No wonder it tasted so familiar.
Again- all protein.. But maybe the wrong lips
LOL0 -
I would assume...just walking to the mirror and lifting your hand to your lips would burn the calories involved! I wear it everyday and will not stress about those calories.

Have I been sabotaging my diet efforts in the quest for kissable lips?
Yes. You are in fact, ****ed.0 -
If you're honestly worried about the calories from lip stick, you need a new hobby... like setting yourself on fire

You should really look into moisturizing lotion. I mean, if it's putting moisture into my skin, isn't that just causing me to gain water weight and thusly GAIN WEIGHT? LOTION IS MAKING ME FATTer!!!!!!!!!!!1

"Burning" calories. Get it?!?!1 -
"RUDE!"
Oh how sweet of you to notice I'm serious though... take the time it took you to post this, read through it, and call me rude, and spend that same time doing jumping jacks every day, you'll burn more calories than you would get from eating 5 sticks of lipstick a day.
Oh, there's fishscales in most shiny make up... don't eat that, you might get a lot of mercury!1 -

You should see a doctor about your missing funny bone.0
