"DNA from these ancient chewing gums have an enormous potential not only for tracing the origin and movement of peoples long time ago, but also for providing insights in their social relations, diseases and food.", says Per Persson at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. "Much of our history is visible in the DNA we carry with us, so we try to look for DNA where ever we believe we can find it", says Anders Götherström, at the Archaeological Research Laboratory at Stockholm University, where the work was conducted.
Birch sap is very similar to maple sap. They even use it to make a soft drink called birch beer ( which I don't like but there is no accounting for taste). So it may not have been so bad haha

They also make birch syrup, which I've had. It's less sweet than maple syrup, with a bit of spice or tang to it.

In Russia they have berezovwe sok. Birch sap right from the tree. It tastes like sweet cucumber juice to me. You can add flavoring to it with little packets like koolaid. At farmers markets you can/should buy the real stuff because what you have in the supermarkets is watered down crap.
Some of the old timers used to tell me they chewed the sap from trees... maple if I remember correctly. I've tried various saps and it was never my thing. I'm not a fan of sassafras or root beer or molasses either. Maybe I wouldn't be so picky if I didn't have the choices I had.
The thing I'm curious about is how do they know it was someone's ABC gum?
