Maybe when the jaw muscles are engaged there's more blood flow to the brain. Or when in the past you had to be on alert, watch out for predators, the senses heightened, while eating/chewing, as secularists would say.

I think gum loses it's flavor really fast, and then it is pretty disgusting. I think it is made of plastic now, but used to be made from natural rubber.

I don't really mind, I think the commercials didn't lie- gum stimulates saliva production and helps to neutralize microbial debris that can give you cavities.

I've heard about the plastics issue too, I do currently have a package of the pur brand in my spice drawer, but the so called more 'natural' products are also affected. Thought about growing and freeze-drying sage, or other herb leaves, which are supposedly antiseptic, and chew them like tobacco but it takes an effort and I'm not sure what other substances it contains that may be unhealthy in excess, and would be readily absorbed into the bloodstream through the oral membranes.
 
There’s a Greek tree sap gum, the name escapes me, but it’s very good for jaw and muscle development. I get Xylichew for myself and kids, supposedly free of plastics and whatever else, but it does lose flavor pretty quick. Ya just can’t win 🤷‍♀️
 
My boomer relatives have been sending me lots of facebook/instagram videos and reels that are AI. There must be an increase of slop out there.
