Energy Gum: Can't Get Your Caffeine Fix Fast Enough?!
If you want the energy to party all night or need a quick pick-me-up before playing sports then this all new energy gum is for you!
Well, at least that's what the makers of VE2 Energy Gum want you to believe…
They claim that since it is absorbed directly through your oral membranes (in your mouth) and doesn't have to pass through your stomach, you can get your caffeine "high" that much quicker.
How much caffeine can it really have though?
Just two pieces of gum are roughly equal to one 8-oz. energy drink or 1 cup of coffee! That's about 120-200mg of caffeine in only 2 sticks of gum!
So I guess you could technically kill your coffee breath by chewing on a couple of pieces of energy gum and keep the caffeine stream going all day long…
Of course, I'm being a little sarcastic and hopefully you understand that although 1-2 cups of coffee per day may be fine for you, there's no way drinking coffee, energy drinks, and now chewing caffeinated gum is healthy for you.
Keep it natural - Keep it healthy.

Wow. Way to not be up on the current studies nutritiondata.
First, and this is a definite plus, caffeine boosts the amount of calories your body burns in ANY activity. This has benefits for exercise (allowing people to go further and harder before giving up) as well as just sitting around (as your basal metabolic rate is also raised).
What's more, coffee is LOADED with anti-oxidants (because, contrary to what you lead readers to believe, it IS all natural). And there are lots of current studies which show that caffeine (and especially coffee, because it has other important ingredients) lowers risk of Alzheimer's and boosts cognitive performance.
Please, don't be so irresponsible as to spread disinformation just because it is so easy to come across. So sure, the sleep deprivation problem need be dealt with, but that doesn't mean that coffee is unhealthy on the whole.
