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.

........ if sir alex fargson catch u?
Re: The Dangers Of Chewing Gum by 1k001(m): 5:30am On Mar 12, 2013
Going by the way the info is presented, i can add the following to 'dangerous chemicals':

- Water
- Toothpaste
- Sugar
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B...

The list is endless really simply because toxicity is almost always dose related. i.e the danger of a substance is related to how much of it one digests over time.

so the question is at what point do these substances actually become deleterious?

I would posit that the amount of exposure to these 'dangerous substances' resulting from chewing gum by the average person is nil to none.

Chew away!
Re: The Dangers Of Chewing Gum by jeffizy(m): 5:42am On Mar 12, 2013
deols: I didnt like chewing gum until recently when I needed to do something about my chubby cheecks. some people say they are adorable smiley 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.

May God help me.
oh dear dont worry chewgum is bad when you chew the healthy one here

Solutions

If you must chew gum, you should purchase the product from a health food store with moderately safe ingredients, brands such as:

Peelu
Glee Gum
Spry, and
Xylichew
They are made with far better and safer ingredients than the common commercial brand gums.

Thank you for reading
