Finnish Gum


Gum chewing is good for your brain. Many modern neurologists say chewing gum helps activate certain areas of the brain for attention and retention.

I chew gum to keep my saliva fresh for lots of talking! Ha ha – and, it helps me pay attention while reading. I also think it relieves tension when I drive.

Traveling around I usually sample the variety of gum offered. Here in Finland I find the BEST gum ever. Today my friend tells me it not only tastes good, but it good for your teeth!

Jenkki  Xylitol gum is labeled: “functional chewing gum”! Xylitol is the sugar derived from the birch trees. Finnish scientists in Turku developed this delicious gum that is actually good for your teeth! It keeps them clean.

This NPR story confirms these claims. You may have to copy and  paste into the browser:

Has anyone found this in the USA? How much should I try to bring back in my luggage?
