It matters by how you feel. Some people feel hungry Because when you are chewing it stimulates the stomach to prepare itself to receive food, which never arrives, and thus the stomach tells the brain that you should be hungry. But some people don't become hungry,because of the air you have intake while chewing the gum, so it makes you feel full. For me I feel full when i chew gum.(try chewing desert gums)

Hope this helped!

Chewing Gum actually makes you hungrier because you're tricking your stomach into getting ready to digest food when actually you're just chewing it and not planning on swallowing and digesting it.

EDIT: Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it is, indeed, possible to achieve that "Full" sensation from chewing gum. This is because the gum acts as food that you shouldn't swallow. The taste-buds on your tongue take that taste and send waves to the brain making it think that you are eating. Because saliva builds up in your mouth as you chew gum, typically you will swallow it to get more of the gum taste. That saliva will go down into your stomach and act as real food. The saliva hitting the stomach might send a wave to the brain telling it that you have deposited something into your stomach area.

This is probably wrong, but that's the best i can think of.

Hope this helps!

When you chew gum, you salivate. When you salivate, a signal gets sent from your brain to your stomach that food is on its way, and you begin to produce gastrointestinal juices...then, the food never comes, leaving you feeling hungry - because you told your brain that food was on the way, yet it wasnt.

Chewing gum can also lead to stomach ulcers, because you are swallowing saliva with no food in it, and the stomach acids can begin to eat away at the lining of the stomach.
