The Dangers Of Chewing Gum by ilelabola(m): 7:22am On Mar 10, 2013 |
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. http://dherbs.com/articles/dangers-of-chewing-gum-244.html 4 Likes |

I didnt like chewing gum until recently when I needed to do something about my chubby cheecks. some people say they are adorable but I want them slimmer. I read somewhere that chewing gum could help so I started chewing. what I do is chew and spit out the sugar content and I used to think the sugar free ones are the best. well I dont chew too much. I infact just take half a sachet and chew it well until pretty hard-when d job would be well done. this article aint enough to stop me jorh.. 1 Like |
