摘要：
In an editorial in 1897, the British Medical Journal (ii:1112) reported an increase in the disgusting habit' of chewing gum, prepared from rubber or plant resin flavoured with aniseed or peppermint. However, the use of masticants is a much more widespread and long-term behaviour with possible health implications for humans. Here, samples of Mesolithic data from Scandinavia are identified and discussed.
