What are the effects of chewing gum on men?

In daily life, many friends like to chew gum. Now various kinds of chewing gum are widely available on the market. Many people in the streets are chewing gum. Chewing gum can remove the bad smell in the mouth, and chewing gum after meals can reduce the bacteria in the mouth. So is chewing gum good for the body? How much impact will chewing gum have on our body in life?

First of all, most chewing gums use sucrose as a sweetener. When chewing gum, the sugar will stay in the mouth for a long time. The carcinogenic bacteria in the mouth will use the sucrose to produce acidic substances, which will corrode the teeth, causing tooth decalcification and inducing tooth decay.

Secondly

People who have had their teeth filled with mercury-containing materials should not chew gum. Studies have found that chewing gum frequently can damage the materials used for fillings in the mouth, causing the mercury alloy in them to be released, causing excessive mercury content in the blood and urine, thereby causing harm to the brain, central nervous system and kidneys. In addition, chewing gum is not good for children.

Because children have poor self-control, if they keep chewing gum in their mouth all day, they may swallow it or it may enter their trachea, which is life-threatening. In addition, chewing gum for a long time will keep the chewing muscles tense, which may lead to the habit of grinding teeth in sleep, thus affecting the quality of sleep of children.

Doctors recommend that you should not chew gum for more than 15 minutes. People with stomach problems should not chew gum too much, because chewing gum for a long time will reflexively secrete a large amount of gastric acid. Especially when you are fasting, you will not only experience nausea, loss of appetite, acid reflux, etc., but it may also lead to diseases such as gastric ulcers and gastritis in the long run.

Although chewing gum is good for your health and can remove bacteria and bad odors from your mouth, you should not eat too much chewing gum. Chewing gum contains a lot of sugar. If you eat too much, it may have a great impact on your teeth. So men can choose to eat chewing gum, but they should not eat too much.
