And when they were offered cookies, chips and candy three hours after lunch, the gum-chewers consumed an average of 36 fewer calories. If gum chewers could get the same results day after day, the small shortfall in calories could really add up to significant weight loss, says Richard Mattes, a professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University. After eating lunch in the laboratory on three different days, the subjects were told to either chew sticks of gum when hungry, chew at a set time of day or avoid gum altogether.
When interviewed later, they said the gum had no effect on their hunger or snacking habits. Gum has one proven way to melt serious pounds. As recently reported in January in the British Medical Journal, a year-old woman who chewed about 15 sticks of sugar-free gum each day developed out-of-control diarrhea and lost 20 pounds in just eight months.
She weighed only about pounds to begin with. They noted that a daily dose of 20 grams of sorbitol -- the equivalent of 16 sticks of sugar-free gum -- would likely cause diarrhea in about half of all healthy people.
Appetite expert Paula Geiselman, an associate professor of psychology at Louisiana State University who receives some funding from Wrigley, believes gum -- in moderation -- can be helpful to dieters.
