question about chewing gum nutrition

[korsjs]

i really like the chewing gum "quench". it says it has 4g of carbs per piece. my question is, would you get the 4g of carbs by only chewing it, or would you have to swallow it to get the carbs. 4g of carbs is alot if you chew a ton of it a day. just wondering if anyone knows. here is a link to the nutrition facts.

I think it is the result of chewing it. After a certain amount of time the gum has given up all it has and you are just chewing the mass. LOL!

GUms caontain sugar and other soluble sources of carbohydrates---including small amounts of alcol. MY guess is that this is the amount ingested by chewing.
