Doesn't help anything that most "gum base" has PLASTIC in it.
Yea I loved gum right up until the recent study clearly linking microplastics in the body and chewing gum.
Really? I am not entirely surprised but did the study say how the plastic was getting in there?
Turns out the flavor crystals were just ground up spoons
I'm just gonna go ahead and believe this without further research, that's too good an explanation to let go of, lol
Yeah the microplastics in gum thing really threw me off when I found out about it.
Well your bowl of ice cream has carbon in it. Does it matter? No
You'd probably mind if your ice cream had lead in it. Microplastics will be the lead poisoning of the new century. They're carcinogens and endocrine disruptors and we don't even know the full extent of the effects they have.
A good chunk of the atoms in our bodies are carbon, yet we don't see plastic being naturally created on our bodies, now do we?

FYI, not all polymers are plastics. All plastics are polymers, but it's not a double equivalence.
