Chewing Gum!

[aggirl]

I'm not too much of a gun chewer. Actually, I rarely ever chew it. However, recently I was offered a piece of gum and for some reason I took it.

Of course I got thinking about this and took a look at the container it came in.

Suger free, but contains sugar alcohol. The ingredients list was crazy. 5 calories, 2 g carbs.

My question is....Do you guys chew gum?-if so what kind?

I really don't like to chew gum....the chewing annoys me, but my kids like it sometimes.

Any suggestions??

When I was a Kid, I use to chew Bazooka Bubble Gum, with the little stories on the wrapper.
Don't even know if they still make it.

I don't chew gum anymore, been a long time...................................... JP

I like it when working out. It helps me concentrate. But rarely use it because my 11 yr daughter keeps stealing it.

I very seldom chew gum. It's just something I never grew up consuming. My parents are very old fashioned. When I wanted to chew gum they would say things like "only farmers chew gum".

Now that I am older, I don't chew gum because of all the artificial garbage in it. There's really nothing good for you in it. If you read the ingredients list it's artificial this, artificial that.

Sugar alcohols were actually first developed to be laxatives. It's only when they found out that they don't effect tooth enamel and cause tooth decay that they started to be incorporated into dental products like gum, toothpaste etc.
Sugar alcohols consumed in quantities larger then 10g have laxative properties in most people. Just a heads up lol.

I do chew gums, but mostly because I deal with people all day long, and I need to have a fresh breath. I do chew up like 5-10 gums per day....Orbit and Dirol mainly. Sad thing about the calories, but that is what we need for work.

5 calories in one piece of gum? God damn! Thats full on american quality of foods and candy, haha.

In EU, most of the gum is calorie & sugar free

a very good trick is chewing sugared gum while you workout. it will give you a slow release of sugar to keep your glycogen stores full

however keep in mind it is very very very bad for your teeth. the dentist will be pissed when you go in to see him

I keep some guy in my baseball and hockey bags. I coach hockey and play baseball and for some reason like to chew it during sports. Maybe it keeps my temper under control when dealing with the kids at the rink!
