Is it ok to chew gum when trying to be raw? I'm pretty sure gum is not raw though.

i guess it depends how raw you want to be. i stopped chewing it a year ago because my doctor said it creates air bubbles in your stomach and then gas. before that, i used to chew a pack a day. it's nice not chewing it anymore. i save a lot of money.

The act of chewing starts the digestive system going. Your stomach is preparing to receive food, and you don't send it when chewing gum. It's really not a healthy practice.

I personally dont chew gum, but this is because I heard it is made from lard or whale fat or something like that...
