    There is no harm in eating chewing gum, but it is harmful if you don't rinse your mouth after eating chewing gum, because its sugar will also ferment in the mouth to produce acid, corrode teeth and form caries. In addition, chewing gum contains additives such as rubber plasticizers, vulcanization accelerators and anti-aging agents, all of which have certain toxicity. The metabolic product of the plasticizer is phenol, which is highly toxic and can be harmful to human health after being absorbed into the bloodstream of the digestive tract.
