- These microplastics can enter your bloodstream and accumulate in vital organs, causing inflammation and disease.
Gum Base Is Plastic
- The ingredient "gum base" in commercial gums is derived from synthetic rubber and petroleum-based polymers.
- These polymers are plastics also used in products like plastic bottles and inner tubes.
Choose Natural Gum Alternatives

- Choose natural gum brands like Simply Gum that use natural chicle base and organic ingredients.
