New study finds chewing gum releases up to 637 microplastic particles in just minutes, with 94% released in the first 8 ...

Chewing gum can release thousands of microplastics into saliva. Scientists say more research is needed but suggest chewing ...

Researchers tested ten different chewing gum brands, and found no difference between synthetic and natural gum.

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Today, most companies’ gum base is a proprietary blend of synthetic and natural ingredients: If a packet lists “gum base” as an ingredient, that gum most likely contains synthetic polymers.

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.

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 ...
