The researchers' analysis revealed that the lion's share of the microplastics were released from the gum in the first two minutes of chewing—thanks to the mechanical action, rather than the enzymatic properties of saliva—reaching 94 percent within eight minutes.
The article from MSN discusses a study revealing that chewing gum, which contains plastic polymers, releases microplastics into the mouth. Scientists have found that these microplastics, tiny particles less than 5 millimeters in size, are ingested by individuals as they chew. The study highlights that these particles could potentially enter the bloodstream and organs, posing unknown health risks. The research was conducted by analyzing the saliva of gum chewers, where microplastics were detected in significant quantities. This finding adds to the growing concern about microplastic pollution, not just in the environment but also within the human body, prompting calls for further investigation into the long-term health effects of consuming these materials.
