. People absorb its taste, chew it and discard it directly. The Arab world is rife with a wide variety of chewing gum, and with the increasing popularity of this food, the question is before us: Is chewing gum good or bad for the body?fact, the answer to the question is closely related to the composition of chewing gum and the content of each ingredient, from the point of view of human health, we summarize several major advantages and disadvantages of chewing gum.:sugar-free gum helps stimulate saliva secretion in the mouth, reducing the risk of oral acidity and tooth decay.some people think chewing gum is a way to relieve stress, while some people who want to control their diet find that chewing sugar-free gum properly can replace foods like chocolate and cookies.chewing gum can help improve the smell of the mouth, especially after eating foods that smell heavier, such as garlic and onions. Still, chewing gum is no substitute for professional dental care products such as ointments, toothbrushes, and flossing, nor can it prevent calcification of teeth.: chewinggum increases the risk of tooth decay because bacteria that depend on sugar for their survival produce acidic substances that lead to tooth decay.who suffer from bloating are advised to avoid chewing gum as much as possible, as chewing gum can cause more air to enter the gastrointestinal tract, which is likely to exacerbate the condition.chewing gum may cause headache symptoms in people who themselves suffer from stress-type headaches or similar conditions, according to a study released just last month.eating chewing gum instead of healthy, nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables can also be harmful to your health. Although flavorings and dyes are safe ingredients approved by the National Food and Drug Administration, there are still health-threatening, disease-inducing and even carcinogenic components in chewing gum.Sometimes chewing gum is even stupid, such as chewing gum that reduces the smell of the mouth and interferes with the results of dental examinations, which can cause problems and may even delay the necessary treatment.
