no that's false!. tell your friend that they are wrong!.

cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells stemming from environmental causes such as radiation, niocotine (smoking) or genetic reasons (e!.g!. you have a higher chance of cancer if your family has/had it)!.

chewing gum doesn't affect anything!.!.!.except maybe give you fresher breathWww@Answer-Health@Com

No, that is untrue!.

What your friend is probably referring to is the aspartame or nutra sweet that is found in a lot of gum products!.

I was a bio major in college and we learned about these studies!. The rats that get cancer from ingesting these same products are fed several teaspoons of it everyday for months on end!. That would mean you would probably have to ingest about 50 lbs worth of aspartame or nutrasweet everyday for a year or two, and then it "might" cause cancer for you!.

Don't always listen to what your friends tell you!. Do the research!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No! She is trying to scare you!. The only way is if you were chewing tobacco!. Which I assume you are not!Www@Answer-Health@Com
