Gum...

So I was a gum addict. I was chewing 2.5 - 3 packs per week...then, my mom sent me an e-mail about how sugar free gum contains aspertaime...a harmful chemical. So she stopped buying gum even with my protests... Before she stopped buying gum, I was getting really bad headaches, nausea, dizziness, and even toe-numbness daily.

Once I stopped chewing the gum, all of the weird things stopped happening. I no longer have such awful nausea and stuff.

I am very sensitive to alot of foods (lactose intolerant, too much beef makes me feel sick, etc) so I don't think this would happen to everyone, but I just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention. My gum habit was slowly poisoning me.

...I always had '5' gum...

Thanks for reading

You told me about that VB and its scary!

*Spits out gum into wastebasket. Thanks beany.

I chew it sometimes and I keep it going for hours...

Yeah certain gums taste good !

yeah I do too then it gets to that nasty stage where its flavorless and starts to fall apart (or disentigrate as I call it) :P

Ha ha I will do that.

Ewwww. I can't use it anymore luckily, sticks to my braces...but I still do ;) Don't tells my mother ;)

I chew gum, but the old fashioned kind made with sugar.

^^ Pardon?
