It is always a question on whether chewing sugarless gum helps to get rid of sweet cravings or actually makes them worse.
The verdict?
Studies show that of people trying to lose weight, those who chewed gum for 15 minutes every hour after eating lunch snacked on 36 fewer calories three hours after lunch and also craved fewer sweets. It also can help your memory too!
A lot more studies are needed, but in the mean time sugarless gum can help prevent cavities and bad breath. (Taken from Eating Well)
Camp Endeavor Verdict?
Go ahead and chew your SUGARLESS gum!
