Chewing Gum removes 100 million bacteria from the mouth, study shows

                    

Researcher at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has found that chewing gum can remove about 100 million bacteria from the mouth in ten minutes which represent 10 per cent of the microbial  load in human saliva,
The study by the researcher reveals that chewing gum can only be effective in the first ten minutes,and after that it will be less effective in trapping the bacteria on a sliding scale, the study also shows that only chewing gum without sugar was effective and useful, those with sugar can feed the oral bacteria.
