I love this idea, we all use gum to tackle bad breath and food odours, but having the extra bonus of a deodorant is almost too good to be true!
I really hope this does what it says!

Can have side effects also. Chemicals Reaching from the mouth and alimentary canal to the skin pores. A dangerous route, I suppose. Still wait for the clinical tests.

Sounds fairly dodgy but like the idea.

Just looked into its two main addatives:
Geraniol and
linalool.
They both look like commonly used ingredients, although like you said the effects may need to be looked into.
Geraniol
Geraniol, also called rhodinol, is a monoterpenoid and an alcohol. It is the primary part of oil-of-rose and palmarosa oil. It also occurs in small quantities in geranium, lemon, citronella, and many other essential oils. It appears as a clear to pale-yellow oil which is insoluble in water, but soluble in most common organic solvents. It has a rose-like odor, for which it is commonly used in perfumes. It is used in flavors such as peach, raspberry, grapefruit, red apple, plum, lime, orange, lemon, watermelon, pineapple and blueberry.
An alternate application has been found in the use of insect repellents or deterrants. Though it may repel mosquitoes, flies, lice, cockroaches, ants, and ticks, it is also produced by the scent glands of honey bees to help them mark nectar-bearing flowers and locate the entrances to their hives. Extensive testing by Dr. Jerry Butler at the University of Florida has shown geraniol to be one of nature's most effective insect repellents.
Linalool
"Linalool" is a naturally-occurring terpene alcohol chemical with many commercial applications, the majority of which are based on its pleasant scent (floral, with a touch of spiciness). It is found in many flowers and spice plants, such as coriander seeds.
In addition to its use as a scent in domestic products such as soap, detergent, shampoo, and lotion, linalool is also used as a chemical intermediate. One common downstream product of linalool is Vitamin E.
