There are many reasons people choose to chew gum, but it has not been extensively examined whether this has an effect on their subsequent food choices. This thesis is about two studies, one where participants chewed different flavors of gum or no gum and then played a food reinforcement game to win four food choices, and a second study where participants chewed gum before every eating occasion and kept a strict food journal.
