How gum affects digestion.
- Gum causes extra gastric juice to be released, which negatively affects the mucous membrane of the empty stomach and can provoke the development of ulcers.
- Chewing gum can also provoke other gastrointestinal problems. The popular food additive E171 (titanium dioxide nanoparticles), which is used as a bleaching agent in hundreds of products, including chewing gum, can cause inflammation in the gut.
- To prevent gum from hurting your intestines and stomach, do not chew it on an empty stomach.
