Two German doctors presented case studies today suggesting that chewing too much sugar-free gum could lead to extreme weight loss of up to 20% of a person's normal body weight.The cause? The extreme laxative effects of sorbitol (additive code 420 on the list of ingredients) at high doses. How extreme? In one case study a 21 year old girl had diarrhea four to twelve times a day and lost 11 kilograms of bodyweight after chewing 15 pieces a day.
