Which gum?

Juliette's nutrition tip : Which gum?

Some sugar-free products contain a bunch of artificial sweetenersknown as polyols, which can have a laxative effect on some people. Tip: Always check the food label – all foods containing polyols with a laxative effect will need to state it next to the ingredient list.

i think chewing gum makes you hungry so i try and avoid it

Sunday 2 months ago

I used to chew chewing gum to stop me eating too, but I found if I ate too many in one day my stomach would bloat out (with wind!) So I limited myself to at the very most 3 chewing gums in one day.

I didn't realise that although I actually don't chew much gum nowadays but will keep this in mind if I do buy some.
