Does chewing spearmint gum help memory?

I know one way it can. People can associate memories to smells. So if you want to remember something, like say information for a test, you could chew spearmint gum while studying, and then again while you are taking the test to help you remember. Have you ever experienced smell-memory before? I do a lot, usually with shampoo....it makes me remember certain times I had when I last used the particular shampoo.

Does chewing spearmint gum help memory?
Its not only chewing gum. While you study eat sunflower seeds, a candy bar or lolly pop while you study and do the same thing while you take your test.
Reply:The theory behind that is this: Study hard on something while chewing gum. Once you need to recall that infomation, put a stick of gum in you mouth. The taste will bring you back to the mindset you had when studying, hence better memory. This works with anything, not just gum.
Reply:I remember there was a study I read about in a newspaper, years ago. It was about chewing gum and memory. They found that it did help with memory but I don't believe the flavor really matters.
Reply:I dont believe in it.
