    The article does not mention a sample size.

    The article states that this is the first study of its kind.

    There needs to be more research done before this is shared as absolute fact.

      The article does not mention a sample size.

      They actually do: it’s 5/5 natural/artificial gum brands, 7 pieces each, and chewed by one person.

      Agreed with the rest though

        I read it twice trying to find the sample size. I missed it both times. I should slow down on my reading.

        Thanks for the update.
