What's wrong with it, other than the sudden bowel movements?

I have to have 2 packs a day. Some compair my gum consumption to a smoking habbit, lol. I see nothing wrong with it.
I always use it when I work out. That way I can bear my teeth together and not worry about my teeth grinding. Gun ftw.

1g per a tiny little stick. And it's a sugar alcohol, too.
Sugar gum...yeah, that would probably add up. I'd never chew it, because I love my teeth!

Actually, I heard chewing gum is good for the jaw if you're looking to improve your jaw-line. Sugar Free gum can have a good effect on dental hygiene as well.

I bought one of those big packs of 10 or so and I was really bored so I chewed 4+ packs on that day and I remember getting explosive farts, like a blast furnace, lol.

Sugar'd (?) gum is HORRIBLE for your teeth. Stick to sugar-free.
I've recently become addicted to Five "Rain" flavor...so freakin good. It's heavenly when you unwrap the package (best gum package ever!) and get that first whiff of spearmint
