Now another source of microplastics in the body has been discovered: chewing gum. Chewing gum contains long molecules called polymers. Some brands of gum contain natural polymers from tree sap.

Chewing gum can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics into the saliva that may be ingested. Research presented this week at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society in San ...

Now you can add your favorite chewing gum to the list, thanks to the alarming findings of a new study. Chewing gum, whether natural or synthetic, contains plant-based or synthetic plastic polymers ...

According to a pilot study presented during the American Chemical Society’s spring meeting, a single piece of chewing gum is liable to release hundreds of polymer particles into our mouths.

You may have another culprit to consider: It's gum, according to a new pilot study that found chewing just one piece can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics into saliva.The study is ...

with each piece of gum producing about 100 pieces Getty Chewing gum can shed microplastics — and natural and synthetic gums contain “similar amounts of microplastics.” Each stick of gum ...

(CNN) - If you like chewing gum, you may be surprised to learn that you are bringing in potentially hundreds of microplastics into your mouth. Researchers at the University of California in Los ...

Now, chewing gum could be added to the list. In a pilot study, researchers found that chewing gum can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics per piece into saliva and potentially be ingested.
