By chewing gum our nervous system thinks that we are going to eat.  So the entire digestive process is activated.  When food does not arrive, this confuses the body. Over stimulates the gastic cycle and over time will over stimulate the sensory nervous system leading to a dissociated state.

Over activating the Fifth Cranial Nerve by chewing gum, can also produce dissociation, The 5th cranial nerve controls the piriformis muscles in the buttock area, which can lead to Sciatica.  Over chewing gum can also affect the function of the hamstrings, and internal rotators of the shoulder.

So be very aware of how much chewing of gum you do!!!
