Gum
This is a bit random but is it ok to chew gum? I dont mean instead of a meal but between meals and etc.
Im wondering because since they're sugar-free they have sucralose (sp) and aspartame in them. I have heard both good and bad things about those sweetners. Is it ok for your health to chew 1-2 pieces a day (like Orbit), they wont make you gain weight or anything?
Thanks in advanced.

1 to 2 pieces won't harm you. As to your sweetner concerns, here's the deal:
Sucralose (Splenda) is FDA approved and harmless
Aspartame is on the edge of FDA approval because it causes serious headache and migraine issues in a great many people.
Alcohol Sugars (Xylitol) are FDA approved but they are still sugars. If you are on a strict sugar free diet, foods containing alcohol sugars are not for you.

Umm Wheeler, that had nothing to do with the question.
Chewing gum is harmless, like someone else said, it's probably good for you since you won't stuff your face with junk haha. So to answer your question. No.

there arent enough sweeteners in a piece of gum to make it unhealthy. there are a lot of other ingredients so it doesnt make a difference
hope this helps!

Gain weight? No. Unhealthy? No.
Infact. Chewing gum inbetween will make you loose weight because instead of snacking on a bunch of junk food, your chewing gum.
That's why when people try to quite smoking, they chew gum constantly.
1-2 pcs is fine. I got through a half pack of Orbit in a day haha.
