Sugar and other carbohydrates are converted into the simple sugar Glucose, which is then transported throughout the body as fuel. If there is an excess of Glucose beyond the body's needs, enzymes convert it into lipid compounds which are then stored in "fat cells" called adipocytes.

How does bubblegum flavor affect gums weight?

Bubblegum flavor itself does not have any direct effect on gum's weight. The weight of chewing gum depends on its ingredients, primarily the gum base, sweeteners, and any additional ingredients like flavoring agents. Bubblegum flavor is just a mixture of artificial or natural flavorings (like esters, vanilla, and fruity notes) and doesn’t contribute significantly to the gum's weight. If you were asking about how chewing gum might affect body weight, it has minimal direct impact. Chewing sugar-free gum can slightly increase calorie expenditure due to the act of chewing but not enough to significantly influence weight loss or gain. Additionally, sugar-containing gums might add a few extra calories if consumed frequently.
