Can gum make you fat/gain weight?

I chew a lot of gum. I mean A LOT. Both bubble gum and sugar free gum. I know that sugar free gum can bloat you...but i was wondering if chewing too much bubble gum can make you gain weight or get fat? I know this sounds like a stupid question, but i chew a lot of gum and i'm concerned. Thank you!

Some where in Arkansas.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

I would recommend that you go for the bloat instead of the tooth decay. Get the sugar free variety.

If you took a hypothetical piece of gum containing 10 calories/stick, you would have to chew 300 sticks to put on a pound. (That is three hundred.)

I agree with JayR. Also, really, most of the bloating from chewing gum is just from swallowing a lot of air, rather than any of the sweeteners.

I agree, it actually supressed hunger and make the body think it is eating.  Stick with the sugarless though.
