About 5 years ago a buddy of mines mom was diagnosed with cancer, which had sourced itself in her mouth. Now shes not a smoker, so the eliminated that as a cause. BUT she had been chewing sugar-free Extra or some othher brand of gum for about 10 years, which did contain Saccharin. YIKES!
My mother doesn't smoke or do anything really bad but how did she end up with breast cancer?

That is about as inconclusive a "study" as we can ever see. Cancer can be caused by many things besides smoking. It may start here but might travel there. Besides, Saccharin was rumoured to cause bladder cancer so unless she peed out of her mouth, I don't really think we can draw conclusions at this point. Everything is going to kill you. You are going to die anyways. Just enjoy your life and when it is time to go, check out.
