Question: Chewing gum!.!.!. healthy or not!?
i'm addicted to chewing gum, is this really unhealthy for me in anyway, because of the chemicals or whatever!.!.!. i chew about 10 peices per day!.!. (Extra silver package) and i am feeling like i am chewing more and more everyday, is this bad!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Both yes and no!. Chewing gum increases saliva production, reduces cavities, aids in digestion, develops stronger jaw muscles!. Drawbacks is that it has a propensity to cause TMJ issues, absorb bad chemicals (varies between gums), and annoys some people!.

What I'm more curious is your addiction to gum!. You may be deficient in zinc or some other mineral(s)!. Take a mineral supplement and see if that helps reduce your cravings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i buy a packet of chewing gum, i know for a fact that i will finish the pack before the day is out!. i used to have one packte of ghewing gum a day when i was at school!
and finished them myself!. addictive they are!.
As long as they are sugar free and you arent eating them instead of a meal i think you will be fine!. Although if you stop you might start eating something else as a habit which could cause weight gain etc (p!.s chewing is good for teeth and jaw!)Www@Answer-Health@Com
