Did you know chewing gum might expose you to microplastics?
A recent study found that both regular and “natural” gums can release hundreds of microplastic particles into your saliva — most within the first 2 minutes of chewing.

If you chew gum regularly, that could mean swallowing up to 30,000 plastic particles a year.

The health impact is still unclear, but this discovery highlights yet another everyday source of microplastic exposure — one most of us never considered.
