any thanks to our mar-
velous panel of young
men and women daring
enough to test out five kosher gums
on the market. (Orthodontists,
please note: While it may appear
as though one of your patients is
here [that one you told never to
chew gum] — because she looks
exactly like your patient and they
share the same name — rest
assured it's someone different alto-
gether.) Here's what they had to
say:

Participants were asked to give the
gums an overall rating based on the
following scale:
5 - Out of this world!
4 - I like it
3 - Average
2 - If there's nothing else, I'll chew it
1 - You call this gum? I call it awful,
just awful
