i think it depends on what you mean by bad...its sugars are bad for your teeth...also the constant chewing and no swallowing in a way tricks your digestive system and it may start releasing digestive acids for no reason this is bad for your esophogus and such...also the artificial sweetners in sugar free gum can cause cancer!! so you decide...

Chewing gum is a great way to pass billions of people enjoy it all over the world,but if you chew gum to much like 24/7 for months(if anyone is stupid enough to) your teeth will get many cavities and they will have some break downs.

gum isn't bad for you, and sugar's only a little bad for you in that kind of amount. your teeth will be fine if you chew sugar-free or use a brush quickly, and actually, chewing sugar-free gum is good for your teeth because it increases saliva and rubs them clean a little, especially gums that say whitening on the package. however, some artificial sweeteners are worse for you than real sugar, even for a diabetic. but if you have braces, it's just common sense not to chew gum.
my recommendation: chew in moderation.

not really but the sugar in it is not good for teeth, chew sugarless gum, it is tasty and better for your teeth and less dentist's bills

yes, it has this bad acid which eats into the stomach lining, bit by bit. eventually you'll get really bad stomach aches, and cramps.

the sugar can be bad for your teeth, and other than that I think no. It can give you gas though. :-D :-D

Only if it's already been chewed by someone else.

probably, also, most people look like a cow when they chomp on their gum with their mouth open.
