Does chewing gum help? Chewing gum makes your mouth produce more saliva, which helps to cancel out the acid in your mouth after eating or drinking. It has been proven that using sugar-free chewing gum after meals can prevent tooth decay. However, it is important to use only sugar-free gum, as ordinary chewing gum contains sugar and therefore may damage your teeth. Back to top
A clever marketing ploy to justfy the disgusting habit and to sustain sales......
What's wrong with a healthier reduced sugar diet and regular tooth brushing?
May be you would prefer:
fron NHS direct;
Chewing sugar free gum for ten minutes after a meal increases the saliva flow and helps to neutralise any acids which have been formed as a result of eating sugary foods.

And where's the advice to eat fewer sugary foods.....advice sponsored by the sugar industry? ;-)

It is often inconvenient to brush teeth, e.g. after a meal at work or when you are out and about.

There are several lines of chewing gum specially designed for this that contain chemicals that kill bacteria. (e.g. Xylitol)

Our local shopping centre has little wall bins at the entrance, rather worryingly labelled, "Please use this bin to recycle your chewing gum"; the more you think about it, the more you wish you hadn't.
The mind boggles! Next time you buy some inner tubes, check what they're made of /very/ carefully :-)
What's worse, is that the wall bins are sponsored by Subway, the 'sandwich' place.

I think chewing gum should simply be made illegal, as it seems to end up everywhere and costs us a fortune to remove. It serves no useful purpose, and someone who is permanently masticating whilst talking to you is extremely off-putting. Same with cigarettes, but there's too much revenue at stake there!
I suppose the human rights brigade would be up in arms though...
No need. Just educate people to swallow it instead of spitting it out.
Could anyone tell me what the hell are all those white blobs on the roads.

Chewing gum. Brother works for the council (he drives one of those "gutter hoover lorry" things) he did a stint on chewing gum removal he had a pressure washer type device to clean off the chewing gum it was only partially successful very slow and horrendously expensive.

We were sat in Figueres ( Spain) bus station last year. One of the employees had a customised long handled chewing gum scraper. It took him a good 20 mins per paving slab to scrape each one clean. Must be like painting the Forth Bridge.
The easiest method is to freeze the gum so that it becomes brittle. If global warming kills the Gulf Stream our winters might do that for us for free.

Could anyone tell me what the hell are all those white blobs on the roads. First ride of the year and went to Ponty for a ten mile ride and all you can eat Chinese meal (yummy yummy) (Pontypridd - Tom Jones land) and the whole of Taff Street is covered with white blobs. What the hell are they? Cant be pigeon droppings surely?Cycled up to Lidls to do my shop today and sure enough they are everywhere. What the hell are they?
Painted on behalf of Plod (the original ones were actually painted *by* Plod, and were illegal road markings), so that they can spot speeding from their Plodicopters. If you are a motorist, go out one night and burn one off, and paint a new one further away from the "start" spot. You can then go faster.....

Dunno. 10 ton of bus with 4 ton of people on it doesn't slide as easily as a pushbike. (... but when it *does* slide, it doesn't stop sliding as easily as a pushbike does...)
