Dumb Question, but: Caloric content of gum, does it change if you swallow the gum?!


Question: Dumb Question, but: Caloric content of gum, does it change if you swallow the gum!?
So say the nutrition label says there's 3 calories in each piece of gum, I am assuming this means 3 calories if you don't swallow it!. Do you consume more calories by swallowing the gum!? If so, how many!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Not a dumb question, a little crazy though!.!.!.!
You don't consume more calories by swallowing the gum!. It is the whole piece of gum all together the 3 calories whether you chew it for 2 hours or swallow right away!. If anything, you'd be burning more calories chewing it for a long time (not very many though)!.
I hope that you're seriously not concerned about 3 calories though :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

No the gum will not digest so you will get nothing further out of it in the way of nutrients!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you're worried about 3 calories, you are sick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hmm, that's not a dumb question!.!.!.!.now I'm curious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
