The Quickest Way to Severe Weight Loss? Excessive Sugarless Candy!

By Friday January 11, 2008

Fox News – 1/11/08:

People who chew sugarless gum and eat sugarless sweets are at risk for chronic diarrhea and severe weight loss, according to a new study published this week in the British Medical Association journal, BMJ.

Researchers say sorbitol, one of the ingredients in sugarless candy, sweets and gum, has laxative properties and is poorly absorbed by the small intestine.

Many sugar-free sweets containing sorbitol warn consumers of a laxative effect, but fail to recognize a link with their gastrointestinal problems, the authors

    If the candy is getting in the small intestine, you are putting it in the wrong end. It’s a treat folks, not a butt plug.

    I and some co-workers found this out the hard way years ago. We had cases of BreathSavers left over from an automation project. Since they were free we all pounded down 15-20 tubes each in a day. Lets say the next day at work was “unpleasant”……
