Chewing uses a surprising amount of energy. An experiment that looked at the energy use associated with chewing gum found that it can increase bodily energy expenditure by up to 15 per cent
energy use
Adam van Casteren at the University of Manchester in the UK and his colleagues measured energy use in 21 people between 18 and 45 years old as they chewed gum for 15 minutes. Before the experiment, the participants had all worn the plastic dome while they sat watching a film in order for the researchers to capture their base level energy expenditures.
He says he expects the energy used to chew real food will be even larger as many foods such as steak and nuts require a lot of effort to break down. “I want to look at how much energy chewing nuts and seeds expends next,” he says.
