Chewing Gum helps to shift the build up on your teeth when brushing is inconveniant. Gums with Xylitol help to prevent further nastys sticking to your teeth. And the myth about swallowing chewing gum being harmful is rubbish, it simply passes through you. But chewing too much on an empty stomach can cause stomach irritation because of the 'tricking' of your body into thinking your eating and letting the stomach acids cause havoc and gives a greater risk of developing stomach ulcers so dont go mad on it.
