What is the a Finish gum I want to try.

I was wondering if there was any endocrine disrupters in chewing gum. And that lead me to read some research papers about gum. The one i was reading was linking chewing flavorful gum to a reduction in saliva stress hormone indicators [fn::salivary cortisol level -

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5381771/ ] and in that it also mentioned that chewing speed has been shown to be a indicator of stress, so they had the participants chew at 70 chews per minute to a metronone.. I wonder if you can look at people and make any assessment of their stress level by their chewing speed.. Anyway this article mentioned an unpalatable gum, Fazer Salmiakki. Which I of course wanted to know why anyone would make unpalatable gum. But it’s just that salty licorice flavor.
