Great question @anadl ! Gum does count as candy, and is artificially sweetened with chemicals that you ingest as you chew. Seems silly but I found that gum chewing for me was about a habit of chewing on something, not about the gum itself. I started keeping a bag of carrot sticks in my purse and chewing on that when I wanted a piece of gum. I don't crave it anymore!
