sugar alcohols in gum

[Sub-Zero]

lol his question was if it's actual alcohol, which I think is in fact interesting and valid. I don't think it's ridiculous?

allow me to explain:

piece of sugar free gum = 5 calories
1 gram of alcohol = 7 calories
9 grams of alcohol = 63 calories = amount of calories in a shot of liquor

if the alcohol in gum were the same as alcohol in liquor, 12-13 pieces of gum should be about 60-65 calories of alcohol, = same amount of alcohol in a shot of liquor.

so he needed to know if chewing a pack per day = putting the equivalent of a shot of liquor into your body spread over a day.

right?

so the question is, is it actual alcohol?

I think not, but if it were, this would be something to actually consider.

therefore his question is not ridiculous

therefore I am retarded, and the answer is probably on google.

your close, but its not about the excess cals, i can handle excess cals at my age.

im talking about the effects of alcohol as a substance, how it fucks with recovery and protein synthesis for u p to 24 hours after consumption.

and the insulin spike bs causing extra fat storage

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

that's what I'm saying, if it's just calories then it's not something to worry about, but if it's actually alcohol the amount you're ingesting could be equal to a shot if you chew a whole pack everyday so that could have fat storage/recovery implications.

fuck. no more gum.

well we don't know if it's actually alcohol or just calories yet. I don't think anyone answered that and we'd have to go to google to find out, which I'm not prepared to do yet. I mean that's serious shit.

what about pot?

i dunno

It can throw off a breathalyzer test. I had a friend that blew above the legal limit after chewing a piece. He hadn't been drinkng. They took him to the police station and gave him another breathalyzer 15 minutes later and it came up 0.00. They still threw his ass in the drunk tank overnight.

i like to chew sugar free dent while smoking pot. makes the smoke taste better, I think.

after a while though, the gum gets saturated with tar and smoke and THEN it becomes gross..

i used to chew ALOT of sugarless gum back in the day and I also smoked cigarettes while chewing gum (I chewed 3 plenty-paks of Extra gum everyday - thats a lot of chewing - no wonder I have TMJ). I was told that chewing gum while smoking is very bad b/c it actually can increase your chances of getting mouth cancer.
