Chew that Gum

Fatyma, PR | (none)
Each stage of digestion ocucrs more easily with well chewed food. Chewing your food thoroughly allows time for the body to begin the process of digestion. This begins even before you put food in your mouth with increased saliva flow and the secretion of digestive enzymes. Chewing promotes secretion of the enzyme, amylase, and when the food passes into the stomach, well chewed food is more readily mixed in the stomach where more digestive juices and acid are secreted. The process is further completed in the small intestine where more enzymes and digestive juices from the liver, gallbladder and pancreas, are secreted and the majority of nutrient absorption ocucrs. Finally the colon is responsible primarily for resorption of water and removal of toxins. One should minimize the amount of fluid that you drink with your meal to prevent dilution of the essential digestive juices.

Thanks for your useful article. Other thing is that mesothelioma is generally the result of the breathing of fibres from asbestos, which is a cancer causing material. It is commonly seen among personnel in the building industry that have long exposure to asbestos. It can be caused by moving into asbestos protected buildings for some time of time, Genetics plays an important role, and some people are more vulnerable towards the risk compared to others. Furthermore, i believe that mesothelioma cancer is a rare form of cancer that is typically found in those previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous tissues form inside mesothelium, which is a defensive lining which covers almost all of the body's bodily organs. These cells ordinarily form from the lining with the lungs, mid-section, or the sac which encircles the heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Ben you put the sugar it weighed about 1/2 ounce right and then you chewed it then it would get more hevier because when you chew it your spit gets in it and then you said it was 1/4 ounce so it will get more hevier.

Sainty, NC | (none)
Sugar is a major ingredient n gum,and the chewing process allows the gum to dissolve in your saliva. When you swallow, the sugar goes down your throat.This makes the gum weigh less than what you started with. The little bit of saliva that mixes in with the chewed up gum adds only part of the weight back. So therefore and in conclusion, it weighed less

gabriel, AL | (none)

Kate, WA | (none)

vanessa, CA | (none)
When I chewed the gum it whas heaveir, because it was in a ball and when I blew it up it weighed less. I think because when you blow it up it weighs less like a baloon, and it has air so it weighs less.

jill, OH | (none)
it wieghs more because theres spit and slobber on it

Kristopher, CA | (none)
Before chewing, my gum weighed 15.0 grams. After 10 minutes it weighed 4.4 grams. It lost 10.6 grams. I then weighed 10.6 grams of sugar to see how much sugar was in the gum. YIKES! Maybe sugar free gum is a good option from now on.

Fields School, 4th-8th gr, OR | (none)
3/5 of our class hypothesized that the gum would weigh less, because it would lose it's sugar content. The other 2/5 predicted that it would wiegh more, due to the additon of the saliva. However, when we gathered our data, the results proved that the gum weighed less, after being chewed. Now we wonder if their would be a diffence, had we used sugar free gum?

Sophie, NY | (none)
The surgar free gum wieghed the least because there was no surgar in it. The gum with sugar in it still had sugar so it wieghed more. Thank you for listening to me! I love you all and have a good day!

alyssa, TX | (none)
