"Arm yourself with chewing gum (nicotine or otherwise) and barley sugar. If you need to you can use nicotine patches to help you over the first days or weeks. Increase your consumption of Vitamin C. Try homeopathic remedies to ease your addiction: these are easily obtainable at health food stores or pharmacies. Enjoy the financial incentive. Just work out how much you used to spend on cigarettes each week (most people are horrified when they do). How much is that a year? That would pay for a terrific holiday, even a new car over a couple of years." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"Another less obvious offender is chewing gum. If this is a habit, stop for a few days to see if your symptoms subside. • Herbal Aid for Crohn's Disease hen diagnosed with Crohn's disease or colitis, patients often are advised to take steroids and other drugs to help reduce inflammation of the intestines, the hallmark of both diseases. But these medications don't always effect a remission. Patients may continue to suffer from chronic intestinal cramping, diarrhea and sometimes fever." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Children chewing gum containing either xylitol (page 614) or sorbitol for five minutes five times daily for two years had large reductions in caries risk compared with those not chewing gum. Sorbitol is only slowly used by oral bacteria, and it produces less caries than sucrose.33 Xylitol gum was associated with a slightly greater risk reduction than sorbitol gum.34 Bacteria in the mouth do not ferment xylitol, so they cannot produce the acids that cause tooth decay from xylitol.35 A double-blind study found 100% xylitol-sweetened gum was superior to gum containing lesser amounts or no xylitol." - Alan R.

"Ginseng is available in many forms including capsules, powders, herbal teas and even chewing gum! LIQUORICE Hippocrates extolled the virtues of liquorice as an aid for asthma, throat and chest problems. The herb was known elsewhere in the world: the American Indians used liquorice as tea, as a cough remedy and as a soothing elixir for the throat. It is used today for all kinds of chest complaints, including asthma, and it is also has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it especially beneficial for asthmatics." - Dr Ron Roberts, Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work (Get the book.)

"The authors showed a positive risk for IBD with increases in consumption of cola beverages, chocolate, and chewing gum, but negative risk for consumption of citrus fruits. The authors admitted that these nutritional items could be true risk factors or they could be coincidental dietary patterns adopted during the same time period. Joachim [29] reported subjective responses to foods of 60 patients with IBD. Patients were asked to report whether specific foods made them feel better or worse." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"They were more likely to know the company's nonmedicinal products, which included Bubblicious chewing gum, Schick razors, and Listerine. It was not the candy or mouthwash that was making Warner-Lambert rich, however. Most of its profits came from Parke-Davis, the subsidiary selling prescription drugs. Parke-Davis had once been an independent company that had grown to be the world's largest drug manufacturer. It was founded in the 1860s, when H. C. Parke and George S. Davis took over a pharmacy in Detroit, Michigan, and expanded it into a small drug company." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"While I was at Johns Hopkins in the 1980s, one of the first drug studies I ever conducted in Alzheimer's disease was with Nicorette chewing gum, an early smoking-cessation product that includes nicotine as its active ingredient. However, it was difficult to get patients to chew enough gum (which tasted terrible) and to be sure that they got adequate levels of nicotine in this way. The study was not a huge success, but some pharmaceutical companies did take our nicotinic research seriously and sought to adapt their own approaches." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"What kind of an impact does chewing gum have on a first impression? Overall, chewing gum indicates anxiety and frustration. Does that mean everyone who chews gum is anxious and frustrated? No, but it does mean that they might be perceived that way. When you chew gum, you're basically saying, "I have extra energy that I don't know what to do with—I chew gum to help me control myself." These days, stars like Britney Spears, Drew Bar-rymore, and Tom Cruise constantly chew gum in front of the cameras. And research by Professor Andrew Scholey from the Northumbria University in the U.K." - Tonya Reiman, The Power of Body Language: How to Succeed in Every Business and Social Encounter (Get the book.)

"Warner-Lambert, which manufactured Dentyne, Chiclets and Trident had developed a miracle-fruit chewing gum. Miralin was approached with eight-figure deals. And then it all turned to dust. Just as miraculin was about to become widely available, a number of mysterious events took place. "Things started to get very weird," says Harvey. An unidentified car pulled up to Miralin's building and men in sunglasses started snapping cameras in employees' faces to intimidate them." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "I pull out a stick of peppermint chewing gum, and at that precise moment notice that I'm crossing a street called Blue Gum Drive. As I turn onto the freeway, my field of vision fills with orchards. There is no end. Rows upon rows of trees stretch to the horizon, like upturned souls frozen in the afterlife. Their angular, leafless branches palpitate with blossoms. Renewal! The flowers are as bright and white as shards of ice in the winter sun. Soon the fruits will be ripening." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Thirty years ago, Henry Gadsden, the head of Merck, told Fortune magazine he wanted his company to be more like the chewing gum maker Wrigley. It was his dream to make drugs not just for the truly sick but also for the healthy, so that he could "sell to everyone." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"Mahogany trees towered as high as forty-five meters above the ground, interspersed with sapodillas (now a source of chewing gum) and breadnuts. Abundant avocado and other fruit trees grew in the lower and middle layers of the forest. In places the woods gave way to patches of open savanna covered with coarse grass and stunted trees. As the centuries passed, the Maya cleared much of the primordial forest. What we see today is the regenerated vegetation of centuries. The seeming uniformity of the lowlands is an illusion." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Some studies show they cause cancer in animals. Artificial colors (such as FD&C Red No. 3,Yellow Nos. 5 and 6, Blue Nos. 1 and 2), found in soda, sports drinks, and gelatin desserts. Most artificial colorings are synthetic chemicals that do not occur in nature and are used almost solely in foods of low nutritional value. Artificial fats (such as olestra), found in snack foods. Olestra reduces the body's ability to absorb fat-soluble carotenoids (such as alpha- and beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and canthaxanthin) from fruits and vegetables, which reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"In order to determine the effect of nicotine-containing chewing gum, Eliasson et al compared insulin sensitivity in 20 healthy, non-obese, middle-aged men who were long-term users to 20 matched-control subjects who did not use nicotine. Their findings suggested the long-term use of nicotine-containing chewing gum was associated with insulin resistance, and the degree of insulin resistance was correlated to the extent of nicotine used.82 Assali rfa^also reported that nicotine replacement therapy resulted in a decrease in insulin sensitivity." - Michael Friedman, ND, Fundamentals of Naturopathic Endocrinology (Get the book.)

"Aspartame: An artificial sweetener marketed under several brand names, Aspartame is commonly used in more than 5,000 consumer products such as diet colas, candy, chewing gum, and baking goods. The substance has been linked in several studies to higher incidence of tumors and lesions of the brain, cancer, and even DNA damage.

"A bit of mindless visual chewing gum is a great way to relax, and one could scarcely begrudge them an hour or so chilling out in front of children's programmes at the end of a hard day. Similarly, computers and console games can be both educational and entertaining. Children who learn how to use the web for research, to word-process and desktop-publish their own work, or to create their own websites or video presentations are at a huge advantage in school and beyond. All these pursuits involve higher order thought processes and command of language and literacy skills." - Sue Palmer, Toxic Childhood: How the Modern World is Damaging Our Children and What We Can Do About it (Get the book.)

"The Ministry of Agriculture (United Kingdom) has stated that mastic is safe for use as a flavoring in foods, chewing gum, and "breath sweeteners." It is also traditionally used in dentistry. Mastic became available in the United States in 1999, and Dr. Wright has just started to use it for patients. Preliminary reports of its effectiveness are encouraging.

"American cheese, chocolate pudding, chocolate beverages, salt, and some chewing gum), compared to people without the disease.5 Until this issue is resolved, it seems prudent for healthy people to take steps to minimize exposure to this unnecessary and potentially toxic metal by reducing intake of foods cooked in aluminum pots, foods that come into direct contact with aluminum foil, beverages stored in aluminum cans, and foods containing aluminum additives.

"The company also makes a menthol eucalyptus sugar-free chewing gum that might be worth a try. Tea for Tummy Trouble Anything that washes stomach acid and other digestive juices out of the esophagus is beneficial. Sipping tea slowly might be just the ticket, especially if the tea is herbal and has calming properties.

"The products include fruit juices, diet soda, frozen lollies, a sugar substitute for tea or coffee, instant breakfasts, chewing gum, cocoa and other instant beverages, medical drugs, food supplements, and even yoghurt. The British government has issued a call for clear warning labels (why warn people if it is so safe?), but only a few manufacturers have complied, claiming that it would "clutter up" their labels and confuse consumers. Yet it is more confusing to the consumer not to know whether a food product contains aspartame or saccharin than to know it." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The proof is in the sticky pudding of naturally mixed cis- and frww-polyisoprene: chicle, the raw material of chewing gum, echoed in the trade name Chiclets. If such subtleties of structure are all that critical to essential polymer qualities such as elasticity and plasticity of form, then a successful yield is likely to be problematic when one crudely cooks together a pot of monomer sub-units meant to combine haphazardly. Brother Rugerus had the know-how and equipment to brew glue from natural preformed polymers, but he could not have synthesized polymers from scratch." - Paul D.

"Avoid substituting things like tea, coffee, chocolate, chewing gum, more exercise, drinking mineral water, etc. for cigarettes, as they won't satisfy your desire to smoke in the long run. • Choose a starting time of your program to stop smoking that does not coincide with an emotional upheaval or stressful situation. It is best to link the starting date with a positive event in your life. New moon day is one of the best days to start quitting. • Think about all the benefits that will come to you when you stop smoking, i.e." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
