Re: self medicating by chewing gum?!

Its really weird, I usually can’t stand the taste of artificial sweeteners, I’m a supertaster so I can always taste it and can’t stand it (a friend put splenda in pulled pork recipe, I was the only one who noticed). Though, gum usually doesn’t bother me. Also I’ve tried the naturally sweetened gums (as I prefer not to ingest chemicals) and they’re not as satisfying for me. And they don’t last as long for me. (This was all before I read about phenylalanine producing dopamine).
