Losing weight can be as easy as walking and chewing gum, literally. Several studies suggest that chewing gum produces a number of effects, psychologically and physically, that can assist people in their quest to shed extra-pounds. The benefits of chewing gum have even resulted in brands to market themselves as a dietary supplement. Chemical properties found in sugarless gum, sorbitol and xylitol, act as nutritive sweeteners that are slowly metabolized when consumed and, in turn, can suppress appetite.

Companies and people constantly experiment with bubble gum flavoring, many would say they should stop meddling.

Love me some peeps, any time of year, so this is a win Toothpaste (not really a food but hey) Bubble gum flavored cigars - really bring you back to the kid days!

If you are like many people, candy is a large part of life. Everyone is aware of the health issues involved, but we keep eating it! So what are a few tips and tricks you can use to wean off of candy? First step: Ease of access If candy is prevalent around the home or office, it is going to be eaten.

Treating ourselves to a piece of bubble gum or a candy bar is one of the things we do mindlessly to satisfy our craving for something with a sweet taste. We do this while carrying out our daily activities, anywhere and anytime. However, the myth surrounding bubble gum and candy bars is that if it’s too sweet, then it’s no good for your health. Surprisingly, this is not truly the case, because they have been found to have so many positive effects on health and general well-being.

Even with a slow down in global sales, gum products are still going strong. Here are the top products for 2017!

Eat an apple or other fruit that you enjoy Don’t forget about vegetables - carrots are a great snack and pretty much calorie free Dried fruit is also a great snack option that is healthy too Do some “retail therapy” and do some window shopping (only buy something if you need it of course) Have a nice cup of Coffee Can eat some nuts or other salty treats

Many people chew gum to help with their bad breath, but does it actually change anything or just mask it? We have all had them, the boss or co-worker that has coffee breath and it’s just painful. Constantly offering them gum doesn’t seem to do the trick. But would it help anyways? The trick lies in your spit, which is what’s responsible for cleaning your mouth out and keeping things tidy.

Do you see a future in bubble gum, or candy in general? As children, candy and gum is one of our main life fulfillment’s. We constantly strive to find candy.
