Key result
Chewing taste-free gum at an uncontrolled pace for 5 minutes showed no significant relationship with heart rate modulation or heartbeat synchronicity in two healthy subjects.
Why the study?
Does chewing rhythm affect heart rate modulation in healthy subjects?

No
Does chewing rhythm affect heart rate modulation in healthy subjects?
Chewing rhythm does not appear to significantly affect heart rate modulation based on a two-subject physiological study.
Does not support altering heart rate assessment for chewing; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.
In this paper, we analyzed coordination of chewing and heart rate in two healthy subjects to examine if chewing rhythm affects autonomic outflow. Results revealed no significant relationship between chewing rhythm and change of heart rate modulation. Future studies should investigate heart rate modulation by control of chewing rhythm.

Yoshida et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=2). Chewing taste-free gum was evaluated on Heartbeat synchronicity and heart rate modulation by chewing. Chewing taste-free gum at an uncontrolled pace for 5 minutes showed no significant relationship with heart rate modulation or heartbeat synchronicity in two healthy subjects.
