Here is a common one
1. "CHEWING CAUSES BLOATING!" The bloating is the result of the initial pump of using your masseter muscles, it goes away after a couple of minutes, it's not permanent. If it stays on longer that means you had a hard chewing workout and you should probably lower your load if you don't want TMJ.
2.) "CHEWING GIVES TMJ!" Yes - if you're a retard and chew more than you can. Have a 3-day split, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are chewing days. It's like training your muscles. Give them rest days, workout with what you're capable of. If you can only do 3 pieces of Falim gum then do that, don't go overboard.
3.) "CHEWING IS COPE ANYWAYS!" If you compare modern native Americans to their predecessors you'd see that their ancestors had amazing jaws yet they don't. The only remaining feature of their past is their large cheekbones, but they don't have crazy bones like their ancestors. Why? Its because they had soft diets their whole lives. Chewing DOES increases ramus length and pronunciation and it does move bones. When you train a muscle your body will thicken the bones to accommodate the new muscle mass. This is why arm wrestlers usually have thick wrists and mountain climbers have huge hands. This also leads to the theory of epigenetics: that your face and mostly everything else isn't determined by your genetics but by your environment and thoughts but that's for another thread.
4.) "CHEWING LENGTHENS MIDFACE!" This is somewhat true if you solely chew on your molars your midface will lengthen over a long period of time. Chewing on your other teeth and incisors works to combat it.
