629.0. "Calories in Gum?" by ICS::WEBER () Tue Dec 18 1990 18:13

    Does anyone know how many calories are in a stick of sugarless
    gum? My guess is that it varies based on brand, so feel free
    to connect a calorie count with a brand. If you don't know for
    sure, can you estimate?
    
    Thank,

	I seem to remember reading somewhere that a stick of gum
	has about 7 calories (Wrigley's, I think)...

	The problem beyond the calories of gum tho is that it works
	up digestive juices (by chewing) that prepare your stomach
	for food.  You may be making yourself feel hungry.

    this book as a free gift from some book club, years ago.  I love it!

    This book is about five years old, so it does not cover any new
    products on the market today.
