The following are some information I collected on the Internet. I hope it will be useful to you! <1> Advantages: Mint is cold, dissipates wind and heat, clears the head and throat, and is good for the throat. Because it contains menthol, it can soothe the liver and relieve pain.

Yu;<2>Disadvantages: Often chewing mint candies, causing oral inflammation. Many people have the habit of eating mint candies, thinking that they can refresh themselves and remove bad breath.

In fact, chewing mints for a long time can irritate the oral mucosa and cause a series of diseases.

If not treated in time, it may even cause redness, swelling, ulceration and erosion, and eventually lead to oral precancerous lesions.

Mints contain mint.

Mint, also known as sweet potato and sunflower sprout, has anti-inflammatory effects on respiratory diseases. It can dilate skin capillaries, increase heat dissipation, and cause skin cold reflex, so it has antipyretic effects.

However, chewing mints for a long time will repeatedly irritate the oral mucosa, leading to thickening of the keratinized layer of the oral mucosa, invasion of inflammatory bacteria, and damage to the oral mucosa.

In addition, chewing gum or betel nut for a long time can also cause damage to the oral mucosa.

Chewing gum is made of soft gum mixed with sugar and various spices. Continuous chewing can easily cause the epidermal blood vessels at the tip of the tongue to rupture, and tooth enamel will also be damaged to varying degrees.

Eating too much betel nut may also cause oral submucosal fibrosis.

Moreover, it is also easy to develop diabetes and gain weight.
