For years everybody knew gum was not good for teeth.

But I guess UCLA wants to ban Wrigley's and Nicorette.

Who funds this nonsense?

OK, what exactly are these microplastics, chemically, and how do they cross the gut-blood barrier?

There’s lots of stuff that enters the gut and never enters the body.

Tell me more or this is just BS.

I asked a couple AI tools. They all say this -

“Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than five millimeters in size”

Tell me again how even a .1mm chunk of plastic gets in the bloodstream?

We can’t have red candies and now they’re attacking gum.
Maybe Bazooka can be sued for promoting gun violence by the name on the wrappers.

But remember the lofty “experts” said to shun butter. A few years later studies showed the alternatives were worse and a little butter was helpful.

Same with “coffee will kill you” followed by “daily coffee drinkers live longer. Research shows coffee promotes health.”

No one chews gum anymore.

They make gum with plastics?? Paging RFKJR. (Don’t take my gum away, though; just make it healthier.)

A person is more likely to be killed by a feral urban dweller than chewing gum.
