Well psychologists have shown that chewing gum can improve memory :

...which makes it doubly sad if you can remember what to do, but you can't do it !

Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying!
Thats Economics...

If it's got artificial sweeteners in it, it could be dodgy - there are various theories about particular sweeteners causing cancer and taking the calcium out of your bones. Also some sweeteners have a laxative effect.
But chewing gum occasionally won't kill you. Just don't do it constantly if you're worried about side effects!...

My dad chewed a lot of gum and I'm here.

I heard a similar thing about Polos. Perhaps there is a chemical in them that if you ate several hundred packets at once there may be an effect, but I'm sure that you'd throw up long before that.

Polo is good for your diet if you spit out the mint and just eat the hole!
Sorry, couldn't resist that.

MIL will be here later to tell you that eating holes is not language for a family website. Tut tut.
