Watemberg believes the headaches stem from the pressure that chewing gum puts on the joints between the jaw and the skull on each side of a person's head, known as the temporomandibular joints — or TMJ, for short. These effects of chewing on the HPA axis also ameliorate stress-induced cardiac imbalances and reduce susceptibility to stress-induced arrhythmias by inhibiting neuronal responses in the hypothalamus. Moreover, chewing also attenuates stress-related dopamine utilization preferentially within the mPFC [ 93]. Inflammation, oxidative stress, and cancer have also been observed in studies that have treated rats with titanium dioxide ( 8).

Middle ear infections in children are very common and they are a cause of worry for many parents," Amir Azarpazhooh from the University of Toronto told Cochrane. However, though calories will get shaved off each day, don't expect a substantial amount of weight loss if you chew gum every day — and that alone.In 2018, the BBC published a news article on British designer Anna Bullus, who created a method of collecting and recycling chewing gum into plastic, noting that litter from chewing gum is the second most common form of litter, second only to cigarette litter. year-old chewing gum made from birch bark tar, with tooth imprints, has been found in Kierikki in Finland.

It has been demonstrated that mild physical exercise leads to little cognitive impairment during the physical task accompanied by enhanced cognitive functioning afterwards. Therefore chewing-induced changes in catecholamines in the mPFC and right central nucleus of the amygdala play an important role in stress-coping behavior. Mastication (chewing) is an effective behavior for coping with stress, likely due to the alterations chewing causes in the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and autonomic nervous system.Smith [ 29] performed a cross-sectional study of occupational stress in full-time workers and found that non-gum-chewers complained significantly more often of stress at work and home compared with gum chewers, and gum chewers had a lower incidence of high blood pressure. The tar from which the gums were made is believed to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal benefits. For centuries, chewing sticks has been a household item, used instead of a toothbrush, teeth cleaning twig, and a medicinal remedy. They also didn't smoke as often during the day, and, when they did, they took less puffs from their cigarettes.
