Paula J. Geiselman led the team of researchers, who were funded by the Wrigley Science Institute, a research arm of the gum company. People who chewed sugar-free gum ate smaller afternoon snacks, reducing the amount of calories they took in by about 60. Participants also reported feeling more alert after chewing gum.
