Do you like to chew gum?
Chewing gum might feel good to you, taste good, calm tension, and help increase a healthy flow of saliva to reduce bad bacteria and keep your mouth feeling fresh. But…
Not All Chewing Gum Is Created Equal
What is in the gum you are chewing and offering around?
Do the ingredients cause tooth decay?
Are you chewing on plastic? (eek)
What is the packaging made of and where is it going after it’s in your mouth?
Did you know that Aspartame is only “approved” as a sweetener because people who place profits above human life and well-being are too much in charge?
Many ingredients will soon be reclassified as toxic (aren’t they always?!) … this time, don’t wait until it’s too late. Apply the Precautionary Principle, practice good oral hygiene, and if you want to chew gum (we are not suggesting you do!), consider better options.
