Animal studies have suggested that aspartame is a chemical carcinogen in rodents and that prenatal exposure to aspartame increases cancer risk in rodent offspring ( 12). If you feel that chewing gum helps you in some aspect of your life, Dr. Kahn suggests that you consider weighing those benefits against the potential negative side effects of gum chewing. Look into other ways to relieve stress and improve focus. Nicotine gum can help you quit smoking

How does chewing during stress-inducing conditions suppress the autonomic nervous system and HPA axis? We suggest that stress-coping activities such as chewing engage the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the right central nucleus of amygdala neuronal activity asymmetrically [ 86]. The mPFC is critically involved in the regulation of stress-induced physiologic and behavioral responses [ 87– 90]. Dopamine mainly controls the stress-related actions of the mPFC [ 91, 92]. Mice and rats exposed to an inescapable stress will chew on an inedible material, such as aluminum foil or cardboard, in the cage [ 76, 93]. Under inescapable stress conditions, chewing suppresses increases in plasma corticosterone [ 94]. Moreover, chewing also attenuates stress-related dopamine utilization preferentially within the mPFC [ 93]. Chewing-induced suppression of mPFC dopamine utilization is largely confined to the right hemisphere [ 93]. Together, these observations suggest a particularly important role for the right mPFC in stress-coping behavior. Chewing leads to an increase in fos-immunoreactivity that is selective for the right mPFC and a decrease in fos-immunoreactivity that is selective for the central nucleus of the right amygdala, a region that may regulate dopamine, both of which are implicated in regulating dopamine utilization in the mPFC, particularly under stress-inducing conditions [ 94– 96]. In addition, chewing during stress-inducing conditions also attenuates the stress-induced release of noradrenaline in the amygdala [ 4, 22, 63]. Therefore chewing-induced changes in catecholamines in the mPFC and right central nucleus of the amygdala play an important role in stress-coping behavior. Even in these cases, the amounts are generally much lower than the amounts considered to cause harm.

The cultural tradition of chewing gum seems to have developed through a convergent evolution process, as traces of this habit have arisen separately in many early civilizations. Each early precursor to chewing gum was derived from natural growths local to the region and was chewed purely out of the instinctual desire to masticate. Early chewers did not necessarily desire to derive nutritional benefits from their chewable substances but at times sought taste stimuli and teeth cleaning or breath-freshening capabilities.

Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in 2020, about 12% of U.S. adults still smoked. Many people who smoke try to quit but aren’t successful.
