> Chewing gum is not a food, that's my
opinion. It's an oral hygeine and dental aid,
the same as toothpaste and mouthwash.
They're not food either.

Gum can't really be classified as an oral
hygeien and dental aid. Sugar free gums
could fall under that category, but gums that
have sugar in them actually promote tooth
decay instead of hindering it.
