"A UCLA study found that chewing gum releases hundreds of microplastics into saliva per piece, regardless of whether it’s synthetic or natural.
Researchers tested multiple brands and discovered that a single piece could release up to 3,000 plastic particles, with 94% released within eight minutes.
The study identified common plastic polymers like polyethylene and polyolefins in both gum types, suggesting significant microplastic exposure." #detox #gum #microplastics
