    • My friend you have given most important pieces of information about chewing gum that can help the readers. Really awful.

    • I also knew in a certain country in Central Asia chew gums after eating their meal. According to the local people, they chew gums to help to digest the food ingested after the meal. I had traveled to this place a long time ago. I had witnessed in my naked eyes that they do eat gums and there are a lot of gum flavors. I find it amazed seeing their teeth are so bright and clean with the help of gums.

    • Wow,thats just awsome good information .I like chewing gum from my child hold but i didnt know the benefits of that.i like it specially i am in the ground playing cricket it release my tension because.I always keep 3,4 in my pocket.

    • Thanks for sharing this, it made me decided to get the chewing gum, but the one on rack is too sweet, I afraid they contains too many sugar.
      I just realized that chewing gum can have so many benefits other than as a breathe fresherner.
      Other benefits are very make sense too, like it can help to clean our teeth to reduce teeth decay, and make us awake. I personally need sweet or chewing gum during a long and boring meeting for avoid from falling into sleep.
      But, I am a bit skeptical on it can help on weigh loss. As mentioned earlier, the chewing gum here are quite sweet, thus take a lot might cause high in sugar level.
      So, I would suggest to take fresh fruits as snack for instead if really really feel like wanna to take something.

    • The points on the benefits of chewing gum are quite interesting. I am really trying to stop smoking . But I am unable to. I actually want to go for e-cigarettes. But people advised me not to go for them as they are merely waste. So I am searching for a better method to dispense with the smoking.

      There are some valid points for argument in favor of chewing gum. But how it helps in weightloss is not clear. Of course the weightloss has nothing to do with my case. So I want to give a try .

    • I love chewing gum every so often will you find me chewing gum. I find it a lot of fun but the only problem is that sometimes I get bloated when I chew find but to avoid that I won't chew a fun for too long I will give myself a break at some point to give my teeth a rest. The above benefits are true the only thing that am not aware of is that it makes someone become hungry. Maybe it's because I don't chew long enough to feel hungry.

    • Chewing gum is enjoyable especially to people that know how to chew it but if you are chewing, be mindful of the disadvantages.
      I am a chewing gum freak.i can chew gum for up to 10 to 15 hours a day. What prolongs my chewing gum hours is my skills. What I enjoy most is the sound I make with it and the bubble I form with it . but everything is now in the past cos I have lost my two molar teeth that enhances my enjoyment.
      After a day of long hours of chewing gum comes a night of headache. I only have to sleep in order to gain my consciousness. Sometimes the headache last for a very long time. But this doesn't stop me from chewing more gum. As soon as the headache vanishes, I go back chewing gum and I even chew gum with the headache intact. I manage cos of the addiction.
      But now my two molar teeth has been removed, I just hope am gonna afford to chew gum. For the past 3 months, I have never chew gum, something that has never happened in half a decade.
      But wellshall my dear I love your post very much cos at least people will know that chewing gum is not just all about keeping your mouth busy. It will make the bad breathed guys to know that good scent chewing gum could change their breadth for the main Time.
      Chewing gum is good but don't chew like I did cos If you do I pity your teeth. Lolllllllll.
      Nice post

    • chewing gum relieves anxiety and relaxes you when your nervous--which I agree..some also good for your teeth or course and cant hurt to keep good breath.

    • i really don't like chewing gum. it makes me feel very bad.although I believe chewing gums are made for just ladies
      if at all I really want to keep my mouth busy I will buy the menthol chewing gum cos by that way it benefits me a lot.
      people that are gum freak make me hate gum with passion cos of the way they make noise with it and disturb people around them with it
      this really get me pissed off.
      the last thing I will do is to chew sugary gum,I rather buy the menthol gum and chew it for about 10 minutes and remove it.I can't chew gum for even up to 1 hour but I see people that even chew for ten hours.Am in love with my teeth and won't allow any sugar destroy it.
      for me I don't believe chewing gum important matters like you said. the disadvantage is worse.
