Lincoln Mark Slevin	actually it CAN add weight because of the sweetener they use, aspartame or acesulfame. same goes for diet soda; basically anything 'light' or 'diet' Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

valeria.(:	no. actually you lose calories chewing gum. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

knightrider2007	It can do depending on what type of gum you chew and how often you put a piece in your mouth. You can buy sugarfree gum which not only keeps the weight off but also it doesn't rot your teeth. If you buy gum that has sugar in it and are a person who chews gum quite a lot then I suggest you chew it longer before spitting it out and putting a new one in your mouth.

advancedmaster	Look at the "calories" listed on the side of the pack. To gain a pound, you need to consume (without using) 3,500 calories. I'm guessing there's about 1 (if that much) in a stick of gum - so you'd have to put about 3,500 pieces of gum in your mouth (without chewing it, which uses calories) in order to gain one pound. I doubt you chew that much. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Eleanor Rigby	Wrigley suggests chewing gum can help us avoid mindless snacking and avoid those extra calories that appear daily. "At an average of just five to 10 calories a piece, gum can reduce overall calorie intake when substituted for a high-calorie snack as part of an active, healthy lifestyle ..." So the answer to your question is, very simply, gum doesn't make you gain weight, it helps lose weight. http://weightloss.about.com/od/healthyeatingnews/a/blwrigley.htm Was this answer helpful to you?
