Saw this article in the Science section of the http://www.canoe.ca website. Here’s the teaser quote:

London researchers have found the simple act of chewing gum helps people with Parkinson’s swallow, reducing a major problem for those with the debilitating disease.

Researchers believe repeated chewing leaves a lingering memory in the brain that can help patients cope a bit better.

“It was very helpful in terms of improving drooling and swallowing,” Dr. Mandar Jog, London Health Sciences Centre neurologist and director of the Movement Disorders Centre, said yesterday.
