If a pack of gum says that each piece is 10 calories, is that amount just chewing the gum, or also for swallow

Answer 1

It includes the swallow which is something your body is designed to do naturally when chewing.

Answer 2

Chewing and swallowing consumes energy. The sugar in the gum is what is listed as 10 calories and adds to your weight.

Answer 3

The sugar in the gum provides the calories.
Once u suck up all the sugar by chewing, it tastes bland which means you've obtained 10 calories.
When u swallow the gum its not digested in the human body but will be excreted out.Gum has no calories the sugar in the gum has calories

Answer 4

i might think of that it may be on a similar time as chewing the energy come from the sugar interior the gum. My mom constantly instructed me never to swallow gum, which you are going to have a heck of a time attempting to take a crap. LMAO

Answer 5

When a food company gets ready to design and distrubute a new food, they have to burn the food in a lab and the energy released in heat is calculated in calories, so the calories listed in food does not take into account chewing, swallowing, or digesting (which is why sometimes people call certain foods "negative" calorie foods because it is thought that the energy needed to digest the food is greater than the energy in the food itself.)

Answer 6

Just chewing I suppose. Nobody swallows.
