A person happily gnawing away on a large piece of gum could unleash more than 3,000 microplastic particles, according to the ...

Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering found that both natural and synthetic chewing gums release ...

Microplastics are building up in human brains, blood, reproductive organs, and more. A new study suggests you ingest more plastic when you chew gum.

Chewing gum releases hundreds of tiny plastic pieces straight into people's mouths, researchers said on Tuesday, also warning of the pollution created by the rubber-based sweet.

A DOCTOR has shared three easy ways to avoid microplastic consumption – after studies linked a buildup of toxic particles in ...

And we don’t know if chewing gum releases nanoplastics at all. The trouble is that nanoplastics are so tiny that they require specialised apparatus to detect them. For that reason, the ...

(Image: Canva) Chewing gum may be quietly introducing tiny plastic fragments directly into consumers' mouths, a new study suggests, raising fresh concerns about microplastic contamination and its ...

"The authors of this small pilot study readily admit in their press release that there is no cause for alarm," according to the NCA. "Gum is safe to enjoy as it has been for more than 100 years." ...

These super-small microplastics are called nanoplastics. The chewing gum study is fascinating. It shows how easily we can unwittingly expose ourselves to hundreds of microplastics. However ...
