Chewing it, because of the flavoring and such. Also, it really doesn't matter if you swallow your gum. All that's left is the gum base and that is digested normally in the 6-8 hours it takes to digest food.
Psh, people really still believe that urban legend.
Hahahaha.

Most of the calories are in the sugar - which dissolves and is swallowed as you chew. There is no reason to worry about swallowing gum. Hard to believe some people still parroting that old wives' tale.

Chewing. You are getting the sugar out of the gum. Like the flavoring, the sugar, which has the calories, gets swallowed.

Chewing it. The calories come from the flavorings added to the gum base. Don't swallow your gum.
