In today's episode we are discussing the science behind jawline chewing gum and if it actually does everything these companies say it does. Jawline chewing gum is a recent product that has been marketed towards young men stating that this miracle product is able to create a developed looking jawline and facial structure simply by chewing. However, the claims made by these companies may not actually be realistic and in fact these products may cause more harm than good. I hope all of you have a fantastic Monday and that you join us for today’s episode of The Science Behind That!
