Chewing gum?? is that bad or good? what are the effects?!


Question: Chewing gum that contains Xylitol (like trident) can actually be good for you. Xylitol is a five carbon sugar and the bacteria in your mouth cannot metabolize it, and therefore cannot produce destructive acids --> meaning it does not give you cavities!
Chewing Xylitol containing gum after you eat when you cannot brush is a good thing, because it removes food particles from the pits and fissures of your teeth.

Very enjoy-able but it is bad

It has too much sugar....even if it's sugar-less
and will wear down your teeth and give you cavities


Hope this helps

Chewing gum is it good or bad? Well that depends what kind you buy. Look for gum that is sugar free that is the best choice and will not effect your teeth. Watch out for gums that have tons of sugar in them which can lead to cavitys. Some good brands are Trident and Orbit stay away from Bublicious and Double Bubble which have to much sugar>Make sure you chew any gum in moderation!

Chewing gum has the same affect as heroin or synthetic opiates. That's why Juicyfruit gum is outlawed in 124 countries. Most people consider the effects...and addictive issues bad...really bad.
