Plastic is everywhere. And many products we use in everyday life can expose people to tiny, micrometer-wide plastic particles called microplastics. Now, chewing gum could be added to the list. In a pilot study, researchers found that chewing gum can release hundreds to thousands of microplastics per piece into saliva and potentially be ingested.
I’ve already been assuming micro plastics are in literally everything on the planet after it’s been found in so many things in recent years. At this point, it would be more surprising to know what doesn’t have micro plastics in it.
I’d also like to see more studies on the effects of micro plastics being in everything. Shits in our fucking balls but we don’t know if it’s harming us. Everything sure wants to make you scared of it, though. I just wanna know if we really should be. I mean, I don’t think it’s good but still.
