Omg I'm never chewing gum again

There's nothing wrong with chewing gum - it is EXCESSIVE chewing of gum which is potentiality dangerous.

As with gambling, drinking of alcohol, eating - even sex - it is a lack of moderation which is the problem.

Doesn't work on everybody Kyle; I've been overdoing it for decades every which way possible as often as possible - and I'm STILL here.

Are there warnings to be printed on packets of gum then?

Unfortunately - YES - because it seems some of the public are so moronic they NEED a nanny state to do their thinking for them.

Common Sense seems NOT to be so common now.

Should people just assume that chewing gum will kill you, how would you instinctively know how much is too much without guidelines?
Gum is not an addictive or controlled substance, why would anyone think to limit their intake?
If it contains a substance which could be seriously detrimental to health then there should be information provided that makes the consumer aware of that, being unaware of the facts does not make anyone a moron.

We are regularly told via advertising of sugar free gum to 'eat drink chew' IS the common sense thing to do after meals to neutralise plaque acids.

Too much of ANYTHING is harmful to health, including Water, Salt and Labour Voters (Joke)

Seriously Kizzy, I think that 14 sticks of gum per day, each and every day,for God knows how long, is excessive, and this 'Death By Excess' is becoming more and more frequent, from 'Slimming Product' overdoses to 'Death By Chocolate', but surely, it should be common sense to know when something's excessive.

Anyway, it looks as if we have to print warning labels on everything, then so be it.
