all this many chemical compounds in #5 chewin gum, men they are cheap. Guess i can extract them out one by one and make more money

[size=18pt]Tell that to SIR ALEX FERGUSON[/size]

Oh please! If Sir is still alive all these years then I won't die from chewing gum.

REALITY101:

100000% bullshhiit

The first highlighted part is probably true. Even gums produced just ten years ago are different and the problem/quality appears to be worsening. The volume that naturally dissolves is next to zero these days and I've always suspected it was some artificial polymer. The bubble gums of those days were entirely ingestible.

Tell that to Sir Alex Ferguson

greatgod2012: Chai! I love gums die, Lord, pls, help me, when im chewing, mehn, i concentrate seriously, all my loved ones know me, no one dare visit me without packing gums along, especially my hubby and my mum, can i stop chewing gum? I dont know, but i will give it a try, to start with, i have to call my mum, not to send that gum again, may be when its not with me, i might stop chewing it, but...mehn, i use it as a concentratin pill.........lol
May God help me.

bennynaza: so y isnt alex ferguson dead yet? Imagine nearly 30 yrs of chewing gum for 90mins evry wkend, 9months per year pls midweek champions league matches, plus maybe trainin days. Dats roughly 18,300 MINUTES of chewing gum! So why aint d old scot dead yet?

u might not be that lucky

Thanks 4 d info. But u only talked abt direct absorption and the ingredients, u didn't explain its effects in the body.

It can't be that bad.Some of the gums are good for the teeth and help to keep the mouth fresh.I think one should just get a sugar-free gum and also avoid the very cheap ones.Those ones wey dey be like rubber.Also don't swallow the gum.

Sure Alex Ferguson has seen this!

Biggyd2: Thanks for the info. Na im be say na agbalumo chin gum be the next level o! .

You made me laff but finally I think that the way forward, but u may have to describe agbalumo for those oyibo people

the_ripper: Ferguson for don die since na.

Ferguson is chewing agbalumo

Local Name: Agbalumo (Yoruba language) or Udara (Igbo language)

Botanical Name: Chrysophyllum albidum

The Chrysophyllum genus of plants consists of almost 80 different species of fruits all exclusively grown within the tropical region. African star apple (Udara) is a very popular fruit here in Nigeria. Its fleshy pulp is often eaten as a snack and it is equally common in both the urban and rural areas, particularly around Southern Nigeria. Being a seasonal fruit (produces during the dry season between December and April), it is currently in peak abundance flooding the market places and street walkways at about this time of the year. Now, allow me introduce you to some really good news about the nutritious load of Udara/Agbalumo goodness!

Beneficial healthy properties of Udara/Agbalumo (African Star Apple)

As with most fruits, it has low calorie because of its little fat content so it is definitely a healthy food.
It is a superb snack because its high fibre content provides food bulk which both increases satiety and aids digestion so it is very ideal for weight watchers.
It has a surprisingly decent amount of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). Clearly, Vitamin C sources are not exclusive to the citrus fruits family- in fact, Guava has much more!
Recently published researches done here in Nigeria about Udara/Agbalumo leaves carried out on rats showed two possible medicinal uses:
It could serve as a natural source of Anti-Oxidant booster to remove free radicals from oxidative stress disorders, and
Its leaf extract contains Hypoglycemic (to treat Diabetes) and Anti-Platelet activities, although it also had toxic effects on some organs.

And here is our teaser to all home-grown Proudly-Naija folks: what is your fondest childhood memory of Udara/Agbalumo?


Enjoying it as your most sort-after childhood fruit chewing gum, or
Its rather useful seed used to play games or make beads?

ilelabola: The Dangers of Chewing Gum~

Originally, chewing gum was made from tree sap but today's commercial brands are loaded with harmful ingredients and chemicals.

The modern day chewing gums are made of four major ingredients including synthetic rubber, plastic, sugar, and coloring (dye). Modern day gums are produced from synthetic polymers such as styrene-butadie ­ne rubbers and polyvinyl acetate. The final product is composed of 60% sugar, 20% corn syrup, and only 20% actual gum material.

People do not typically swallow gum, so they pay very little attention to the ingredients. The assumption is that if it is not swallowed, then it is not a concern.

However, the ingredients in gum travel into the bloodstream faster and in higher concentrations than food ingredients, because they absorb straight through the walls of the mouth, and they do not undergo the normal filtration process of digestion.

Gum is typically the most toxic product in supermarkets that is intended for consumption, and it is likely to kill any pet that eats it. Commercial gum products contain roughly the same list of toxic ingredients, with differing labeling, which is virtually always designed to be deceptive.

Common Ingredients of Gum:
• Sorbitol
• Gum Base
• Maltitol
• Mannitol
• Xylitol
• Artificial and 'Natural' Flavoring
• Acacia
• Acesulfame Potassium
• Aspartame
• BHT
• Calcium Casein Peptone-calcium ­Phosphate
• Candelilla Wax
• Sodium Stearate
• Titanium Dioxide (so cancerous that external skin contact is enough)

In essence, Chewing gum is regarded as a harmless cultural tradition but chewing gum itself contains many ingredients that may be hazardous to our health.

Saving this for my roomate. Thank you

Oh gum!
I chew it for two reasons;
*To lighten up my mood: i love to be happy all the time so whenever i feel sad or angry, just a wrap of bubble gum brings me back to my happy mood (you cant chew gum with a gloomy or angry look, can you?)

*to drive away sleep: back in those days when i was in sec school, gum was what kept me all night long during exam periods lol

It is a bad as telling most women not to eat their food so what are u recommending for them in place of gum, is it bitter kola? then u can never be their friend.
