Gum Chewing

is gum chewing an injurious habit? A. r. VI.
Yes The constant activity of the sail
vary glands excited by gum chewing
especially when the gum Is favored, ex-
hausts the glands so that they lose their
power to digest starch, a very important
function which is necessary for good diges-
tion. This has been proved by actual ex-
pertinent. A man was made to chew gum
constantly for several hours. At the end
or the first hour there was slight decrease
In the digestive power Of the saliva. At the
end Of the second hour there was a very
marked loss OF digestive activity and at
the end of four hours the saliva had almost
entirely lost its activity The habit Of
chewing tobacco or gum exhausts the sal
wary glands and thus lays the foundation
for indigestion. The thorough chewing OF
the food is essential to good digestion
but gum chewing is useless and more or
less harmful practice.

In recent years Horace Fletcher, who

proved that a man can live on half as much
