Most schools ban chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule.
Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It
(1)_____________ and make studying easier. This exciting research is just beginning. And in
the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines,
and other substances that could give gum such power that it (2)________________ from
serious diseases to bad breath.
These enhanced gums are part of the growing number of foods and drinks that contain health-
boosting ingredients. Just what can gum do for your health? Many studies show that chewing
gum after meals fights cavities by stimulating the production of saliva. It (3)______________
and an ingredient called xylitol, which is added to some gums, provides an extra dose of
cavity-fighting power. This is good for more than just the teeth. Research suggests that good
oral health (4)__________________ , and other serious diseases.
Nutritionist Gil Leveille, executive director of the Wrigley Science Institute, says that
chewing gum might also be good for your brain. One Japanese study of nine participants, he
says, found that chewing gum boosted the flow of blood to participants' brains by up to 40
percent. Blood carries oxygen, which fuels brain cells.
Other small studies have found that people (5)________________ while chewing gum. One
study in the United Kingdom found that people who chewed gum while working on a list of
words did about 25 percent better at recalling those words than people who didn't chew gum.
Additional studies, with longer follow-up, (6)________________, he adds. So far, results of
studies about memory have been mixed. Not all tests have had similarly encouraging results.
What's more, many of the studies that show gum's benefits are funded by gum companies.
Other researchers are finding that gum (7)_________________ into the bloodstream. That's
because the lining of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our
stomachs and intestines can.
Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent
success: they've created a gum that could help us stay awake: a gum called Stay Alert. Each
stick (8)______________. It can take an hour for the chemical in drink to have its full effect,
but the dose in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes, says research physiologist Gary
Kamimori. Chewing Stay Alert is "like pouring coffee directly into your bloodstream," he
says. The military helped invent the product because it (9)______________during long, tiring
night shifts. Studies show that soldiers who chew Stay Alert (10)______________ without
sleep. For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military. The manufacturer may one day
offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical
personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product such as Stay Alert.
