Stop the plastic chew!
Most chewing gum consists of up to 40% plastic. The same plastics that are also used in plastic straws, carrier bags, car tires, and glue. As you chew, thousands of micro- and nanoplastics are released, ending up in your body and the environment. Yet this is not clearly stated anywhere on the packaging.
