Actually gum is not all that bad yes you could swallow it but you got to be that smart not to do that or choke on it and sugar sweetened gum is bad for your teeth the American dental association says chewing sugarless gum stimulates saliva flow, which reduces plaque and helps prevent cavities and there is also a saying that if you chew gum while studying it might help you more on the test because you will remember the question that you studied if you chew the same brand of gum but i don't know if that is true
