SlimGum thinks so and we have to say we're intrigued.

Soon to be launched, it's a new gum that contains green coffee bean extract to burn fat, chromium to reduce cravings and green tea extract to burn fat. It tastes minty and not at all unpleasant, and on the pack advises you to chew up to four pieces a day. While I can't be sure this gum actually works, I do find chewing between meals stops me reaching for that 4pm chocolate fix. Will SlimGum be your new dieting weapon or will you be passing? Let me know...
