So there is a lot of talk about the whole chewing gum being good or bad for you and how chewing gum is just to get flavor out of it. In my opinion, I think chewing gum can be a good thing for you. I found a website called Chewing gum and read some interesting things about chewing gum.
Most people think that chewing gum is just used for its flavor and is only for teens. When in fact, chewing gum has dated back over 5 thousand years ago. A lot of people used chewing gum such as Yli-Li Finland. They used them for having antiseptic properties and other medical advantages.
However, we never knew if the gum could cure gum disease or not. But in present day, we have a more firm grasp on weather or not gum is good for you or not. Most gums are not good for you. But, some can actually help you as long as you use the right kind of sweetness.
Some of the good kinds are xylitol, and sorbitol. Xylitol sweet can help your teeth. As long as you use one of these kind of sweeteners, then chewing gum will be fine to chew. As you can see, chewing gum can also be very beneficial to you.

I like gum a lot my favorite is trident layers cherry lime. If you chew gums that are ADA [American Dental Association] after you eat it may help certain things like stimulate saliva flow and this helps by preventing cavities,reducing plaque acids,and strengthening teeth!
