The nutrients in the gum (which I highly doubt there are any) would be absorbed into your system. What is left and spit out is just 'gum'. |

*Thinks to self* I actually have never thought of that before, but a very interesting question.. do you get the calories from chewing and stuff? Or does it happen when you swallow? *thinks* lol! Another thing for me to ponder over@  |

Hey, maybe the chewing itself burns off some of those calories. So how do you know how many you're taking in if you're actually burning some off? Just kidding. Thinking deeper than I have to I guess LOL --Juicy  |

The sugar in the gum is disolved in Your saliva and then You swallow it so Yep You are taking in calories. You burn off a few of them in Your chewing. Did You know that You burn more calories chewing and swallowing celery than the celery contains. Too bad celery tastes so awful or we would all be slim and fit.  |

Actually chewing gum can be detremental,because as you are chewing you are sending a message to your stomach via your brain, that there is food to be digested so it produces digestive acids to break down these solids...When no food comes, this build up of acid, irritates that wall of your stomach...Too much gum chewing causes problems in the form of ulcers on the lining of your stomach...Just a little FYI...Oh and anything you could get from gum, is gotten while your chewing it...God Bless,I Remain,In Christ,  |

I never thought of that. I have no idea either. If I were to guess I would think if you swallow it there are more calories. But the questions is are there any calories if you just chew it? I'm stumped. Jamie  |

lol I have thought of this b4 but cant decide maybe if you chew it the juice from the gum has the calories and you swallow that juice and thats the caloric intake of gum.. Then again I cant decide. Sorry if I confused you. Love ~sweetvixen~  |
