About Gum
Gum is a chewable confection typically made from a gum base, sweeteners, flavorings, and softeners. The gum base, often derived from synthetic or natural sources such as chicle, provides the chewy texture. Sweeteners like sugar or sugar substitutes enhance flavor, while additional ingredients provide a wide range of tastes, from fruity to minty. Gum originates from ancient customs, with early versions created from tree resins, though modern varieties are associated with Western cuisine and global production. While sugar-free gum can promote oral health by stimulating saliva production and reducing acid buildup, sugary options may contribute to cavities with excessive consumption. Gum is calorie-light, but it contains no significant nutrients and is not considered a food source. Environmental care is recommended, as improperly discarded gum can contribute to waste and pollution due to its non-biodegradable components.
