Sugar free gum

Can anyone tell me wether its ok to eat sugar free gum on fast days? Would hate to find it set off hunger pangs but there are times I would love the fresh minty taste & it's not practical to brush my teeth.

Hi Ginty

I chew sugar free gum on and off on fast days and don't find it sets off hunger pangs. In fact I find the opposite, whether its all in the mind :| or whether its the chewing action I don't know but I feel less hungry after eating gum!

I love having a fresh minty taste in my mouth fasting or not. Give it a go and see :D

I was wondering whether it would be ok to chew gum too - had a mouth like a parrot's cage yesterday despite drinking plenty :?
