Chewing gum is a product made from natural or artificial latex, or chicle, as well as natural and artificial flavoring, that never breaks down when chewed. The regular varieties of chewing gum are sweetened with either cane sugar, corn syrup or dextrose. Sugar-free varieties are sweetened with saccharine or aspartame. ChaCha again soon!

About Chewing Gum
Known for getting stuck in hair or on the soles of shoes, chewing gum is a substance that is chewed (not swallowed or eaten) for fun or to freshen breath. Gum comes in a variety of flavors, some minty and some sweet. Some versions are primarily for blowing bubbles, which is amusing for children and adults alike.
About Sugar
Sugar is a natural sweetener. The white crystalline stuff we typically find in restaurants and in the sugar jar at home is processed and refined. Sugar from the Sugar Cane plant is typically brown in color and has more of a caramel flavor.
