SORRY, CHEWING GUM WON'T HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT. HERE'S WHAT IT CAN DO
Some dieters like to think that if they keep their mouth busy with chewing
gum, it'll stop them from eating and thus gaining weight. While this fantasy
sounds plausible, science disagrees - studies have not demonstrated prolonged
gum mastication as an effective weight loss strategy. However, there are
certainly some pros to this big con.
CHEWING GUM BENEFITS
* It can help freshen your breath before an important meeting or a date
* It can help you stay awake on a long drive
* It may improve concentration and cognitive performance
* It tastes good
Is there a benefit we didn't list? Please let us know!
INGREDIENTS TO WATCH OUT FOR
Most gums are very low in calories, but some may contain unhealthy
ingredients. Let's take a look at Wrigley's Extra Peppermint Gum, for
example:
Sorbitol, Gum Base, Glycerol, Mannitol, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Less
than 2% of: Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Soy
Lecithin, BHT (to Maintain Freshness), Color (Blue 1 Lake).
Like most sugar free gums, the sweeteners used here are sugar alcohols:
sorbitol, glycerol, and mannitol. All sugar alcohols end with "ol". Unlike
table sugar, there is some evidence that sugar alcohols may actually improve
dental health. They are slightly lower in calories when compared to table
sugar, however the tiny amounts used in chewing gum makes this a moot point.
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate is simply a mix of several sugar alcohols.
Despite the abundant use of sugar alcohols in this gum, the manufacturer
decided to add two controversial artificial sweeteners - asparatme and
acesulfame-k. Read more about their risks here.
Instead of using natural peppermint, the manufacturer chose to use Natural
and Artificial Flavors, most likely a cheaper chemical option.
In order to make the chewing gum visually more attractive, an artificial
color - Blue 1 Lake - is used. Artificial colors are banned in parts of
Europe because they cause hyperactivity in some people and may also be
carcinogenic.
Last but not least, Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is an additive used to
retard rancidity. Some studies have shown it to be carcinogenic.
EXAMPLES OF GUM WITH TAME INGREDIENTS
Spry Sugarfree Spearmint Chewing Gum uses a very tame set of ingredients:
xylitol, gum base, spearmint oil (natural flavor), vegetable glycerin
(humectant), gum arabic (texturizer), non-GMO soy lecithin (emulsifier),
titanium dioxide (coloring agent) & beeswax (glazing agent).
Another good option is PUR gum:
xylitol, gum base, natural flavors, gum arabic, white tea extract, carnauba
wax, tocopherols.
BOTTOM LINE
Chewing gum won't help you lose weight. It does have other benefits,
though. Don't buy chewing gum without reading the ingredient list first!
Choose a gum without artificial sweeteners or colors.
