Benefits of Chewing™

You love to chew gum because it tastes great and helps freshen your breath, but did you know there may be additional benefits to chewing gum?

More than two decades of research and consumer outreach have driven Wrigley's leadership in oral care with consumers and within the professional and scientific community. In fact, according to some of that research, chewing sugar-free gum for 20 minutes after eating or drinking can help protect your teeth. Because of studies like this, more and more consumers and dental professionals around the world are remembering to “Eat.Drink.Chew.” to help practice good oral health, especially when on-the-go.

In addition to the well-known oral care benefits, sugar-free gum can provide a way to help manage your calories. Even small decreases in calories, according to experts, can have a big impact in the long-term, so chewing a five calorie stick of sugar-free gum instead of reaching for high-calorie snacks could be an effective way to help you reduce calorie intake. source :http://www.wrigley.com/global/benefits-of-chewing.aspx#
