Depends what type it is and how many you have. I just did a quick google search. 1 stick could be 10-30 calories depending which you get. If you only have a few a day it should not matter.

I think it's ok, try the sugar free ones bro. By the way, I've read that chewing gum consistently can give you gastric problems. Your brain thinks you are eating food, so It begins producing more gastric acids which can give you stomach aches. Or so. Lol!

I doubt that the body would make more digestive acids if you chew on anything, how would it differentiate from talking then?

I've read that chewing gums promote salivation, and can reduce acid actually.

Man Ilive off of gum when Im cutting for the contest.Sugarfree trident comes in great flavors and less than 5 calories for 2 pieces.For 3 days before a contest I am cutting out all my water and other liquids.The gum helps keep my mouth from being dry and it also helps keep my mind off of me starving

I always found that chewing gum would make me incredibly hungry. Perhaps that was down to the fact my chunky body couldn't handle the idea of me chewing something and not swallowing it.
