This is the first  I’ve heard of this particular problem:

Severe Weight Loss From Too Much Sugarless Gum 

It’s not just sugarless gum, it’s any product with sorbitol. Too much and you can wind up with diarrhea, (severe) weight loss and other symptoms you might not expect. It often affects diabetics and dieters.

I work doing medical and health communications work for Emory University and since one of our doctors is quoted in this article, it came to my attention.

I think thought this NPR story was pretty interesting:

Hotel Maids Challenge the Placebo Effect

One of the big mistakes people make, I think, is to put “exercise” in one compartment and “regular life” in another.
