Chewing on a piece of gum has been shown to help increase levels of energy and alertness throughout the day. The muscles in a person's mouth that are at work during each chew compress salivary glands that help to release extra saliva. Chewing this sweet stuff can increase the amount of saliva flowing in the mouth by 10 to 12 times, so doctors agree that prescribing sugar-free gum is an easy solution to curb the issue of dry mouth, according to the American Dental Association.The cultural tradition of chewing gum seems to have developed through a convergent evolution process, as traces of this habit have arisen separately in many early civilizations. Each early precursor to chewing gum was derived from natural growths local to the region and was chewed purely out of the instinctual desire to masticate. Early chewers did not necessarily desire to derive nutritional benefits from their chewable substances but at times sought taste stimuli and teeth cleaning or breath-freshening capabilities. [3] Contestants from The Biggest Loser chew gum regularly because multiple studies have shown it can help cut calories throughout their day, as noted by WebMD. Studies have shown that gum flavor is perceived better in the presence of sweetener. [34] Companies have started to create chemical systems in gum so that the sweetener and flavor release together in a controlled manner during chewing. [35] Cooling sensation

World Journal of Surgery. 33 (12): 2557–66. doi: 10.1007/s00268-009-0104-5. PMID 19763686. S2CID 24548626.Although the formulation of gum bases is considered proprietary information for industry competitors, three main components make up all gum bases: resin, wax, and elastomer. Resin (ex. terpene) is the main chewable portion. Wax softens the gum. Elastomers add flexibility. The molecular composition of gum base is very similar to that of plastics and rubbers. Various teams of researchers have developed gum that is less adhesive and degrades within days or weeks. [66] [67] One example, Rev7 Gum, was briefly for sale from 2010 to 2012.

Formulation and Production of Chewing and Bubble Gum (2ed.). Essex: Kennedy's Publications Ltd. pp.133–55. For some reason gum is one of those things that gets a lot of air time in public discourse. You may have heard that it helps you concentrate or that if you swallow it you’ll have gum in your stomach for five years. Thabuis, C; Cheng, C.

However, the only downfall is that the same results didn't occur if they chewed gum while taking the test. The gum only gave them the burst of brain power needed when chewed beforehand. "The results provide strong evidence that chewing gum is associated with an overall increase in cognitive functioning, particularly working memory, episodic memory, and perceptual speed of processing," the study concluded, "but only when chewing takes place prior to cognitive testing."

Additionally, a study done by Oklahoma State University found that gum is a helpful aid with which to replace nicotine. When smokers were unable to have access to a cigarette during the day, researchers found that chewing gum helped to reduce their cravings. They also didn't smoke as often during the day, and, when they did, they took less puffs from their cigarettes. It makes sense why baseball players are known to turn to gum to cease their nasty chewing tobacco habits, doesn't it?Food and sucrose have a demineralizing effect upon enamel that has been reduced by adding calcium lactate to food. [41] Calcium lactate added to toothpaste has reduced calculus formation. [42] One study has shown that calcium lactate enhances enamel remineralization when added to xylitol-containing gum, [43] but another study showed no additional remineralization benefit from calcium lactate or other calcium compounds in chewing-gum. [44] This could be due to the act of chewing, which has been linked to reduced levels of stress hormones such as cortisol ( 27, 28).
