Chewing gum interferes with the coordinated digestive tract reflexes that I just described above. Every time you put a stick of gum in your mouth and start to chomp, your brain thinks youre eating food. So it sends signals to your stomach, pancreas, and other digestive organs to get them ready for the digestive process. Your pancreas is fooled into manufacturing a batch of the digestive enzymes your brain thinks youll need. If you keep this pattern going month after month, your pancreas gets exhausted from the repeated over-production. Then it wont be able to produce the digestive enzymes you need when you actually require them. Unfortunately, even if you follow these important health habits, your digestive enzymes could still become depleted. You may need some extra help with your digestive process.*
