Why does chewing gum make you more hungry?

Answer 1

Chewing is the first step in digestion. While you chew, salivary glands start producing saliva because they are trying to break down the "food" since your body doesn't know the difference between Chewing Gum and food. This also triggers your stomach to produce

more acid in preparation to break down the "food" and your stomach expands, giving more space for the "food". This makes you hungry because your body is ready for digestion.

Answer 2

I think that the taste of a good piece of chewing gum soothes the stomach until the next meal that you have. I doubt that gum will ruin your appetite it just helps soothe the hunger desire at that point.

Answer 3

Chewing gum makes you more hungry because while you're chewing, your body thinks that there is food to be digested. Because there isn't, that results in a feeling of lack of food, also known as hunger.
