Re: can I chew gum

Unfortunately no. You should not chew gum. For one thing, the sugars in the gum are no good for you.

Even if you buy sugar-free gum, there are artificial sweeteners that are probably worse than Sugar in that gum. No good.

Also, remember that this is a fast. After fasting for several days, the body goes into a condition known as "autolysis". This is when the body starts to feed on itself because you are giving it no solid food to feed off of. Fortunately, the body in it's brilliant design feeds on only the weak, diseased, dying, or dead cells. All of the vital organs, the heart, liver, kidneys, and the brain are spared and because of the absence of all of the sickly cells in your body, your vitals are actually rejuvinated and made healthier because of the clean bloodstream and unadulterated oxygen now circulating throughout your body.

When you chew gum, your mind gives your body the signal that you are consuming food. Your saliva glands will activate and your stomach prepares itself for what it thinks is about to be swallowed. This chewing action confuses the body and the process of autolysis is interfered with which you don't want.

Well, maybe you can just carry your tooth brush around more. :-)
