I am now joining the millions of Americans who do cow imitations. I am beginning to chew gum. I had tried it a few times as an appetite suppressant but didn’t see it rocking my boat. There is no substitute for discipline and delayed gratification.
Then I saw a poster about dental hygiene that went something like, “Brush, floss, rinse, chew.” I read the fine print that said chewing sugarless gum could help in taking care of your teeth. The logic made a bit of sense. It can’t hurt. I will ask my dentist next time I see her.
For now I chew my cud.

The kind with xylitol(sp?) is supposed to actually prevent cavities.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a word that looks like that on labels or ads, so there might be something to it. Of course, I don't believe much of what I see on a label. Call me a pessimist, or just call me a realist.
