Bubble gum is a chewy confectionery created primarily from gum base, a mix of elastomers, resins, and waxes that gives it its stretchy texture. Originating in the United States in the early 20th century, bubble gum gained popularity for its ability to form bubbles when chewed. Ingredients typically include sugar, corn syrup, flavoring agents, and softeners, though sugar-free versions use artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sorbitol. Nutritionally, bubble gum is low in calories but offers little to no dietary benefits. Traditional bubble gum can contribute to tooth decay due to its sugar content, while sugar-free varieties may be less harmful to dental health. Chewing gum in general can stimulate saliva production and help reduce dry mouth. However, overconsumption or prolonged chewing could lead to jaw discomfort. Bubble gum should be enjoyed in moderation as an occasional treat rather than a dietary staple.
