How is gum bad for you?

Answer 1

Because it's loaded with sugar.

Answer

Not only it is loaded with sugar, but also Chewing Gum gets rid of a lot of your saliva out of your throat. Your throat may eventually become dried up, and feel uncomfortable.

Answer 2

Chewing gum isn't bad for you. It staves off hunger to prevent overeating, plus it directs blood to brain, as your jaw is always moving, keeping you more alert. The only downside is that if you constantly chew gum, it can cause wrinkles at an earlier age than getting older would.

A bit more:

Chewing gum, if not sugarless, can lead to dental cavities. It can also result in TMJ pain, which is the joint where the jaw bone is connected (the tempero mandibular joint). For some, even those who chew gum several times a day, this may never be a problem. But for others, chewing gum can cause severe TMJ pain.

The only benefits of chewing gum that I know of are increased saliva, which can help prevent cavities (if you use sugarless gum), and chewing gum is a good breath feshener, especially the mint flavored gums.
