MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does chewing gum help get rid of hearburn?

Heartburn is the WORST right? You have a delicious meal and then a few hours later you get that horrible feeling. There are a million remedies out there but I’ve always heard chewing gum helps a lot.

It’s true! The saliva that is created by chewing gum becomes more alkaline, which neutralizes the acid reflux that creates heartburn while soothing your esophagus. Plus as a bonus you’ll have nice breathe after too!
