Watan<\/strong><\/em>-When you pop a piece of gum into your mouth, you might hope to freshen your breath, ease some stress, or simply enjoy the flavor. But with each chew, you could also be releasing thousands of microplastic particles into your body.<\/p>\n

Gum Made with Plastic Rubber<\/h3>\n

That\u2019s because most chewing gum is made of plastic. Manufacturers often use synthetic polymers to make gum base, such as polyvinyl acetate (a plastic also used in adhesives) or styrene-butadiene rubber (used in tires and shoe soles).<\/p>\n

Plastic is already everywhere\u2014in our bottled water, soil, and even air. Microplastics can enter our bodies through all of these sources, as well as through foods stored or heated in plastic containers.<\/p>\n

Direct Exposure Through Saliva<\/h3>\n

But gum represents a more direct exposure. \u201cHere, the food itself is plastic,\u201d says Sanjay Mohanty, a professor of engineering at UCLA.<\/p>\n

Mohanty led a new experimental study investigating how microplastics in gum reach our saliva. He worked alongside Lisa Lu, a PhD student in his lab, who will present the findings at the American Chemical Society\u2019s Spring Meeting this week.<\/p>\n

Mohanty has studied microplastics for years, researching how wind can carry them from fertilizer into the air and how playgrounds often contain more microplastics than other urban green spaces.<\/p>\n

Lu, who grew up in Hawaii and witnessed firsthand the effects of pollution, came up with the idea of measuring microplastic exposure from chewing gum. \u201cPeople don\u2019t really know that gum is made of plastic,\u201d she said. \u201cWe just don\u2019t think about it because it feels like food.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comparing Synthetic and Natural Gums<\/h3>\n

The researchers analyzed both synthetic and natural gums, selecting five commercially available brands of each. Lu tested them herself: rinsing her mouth (to establish a saliva baseline), chewing each piece of gum for four minutes, and spitting out saliva samples every 30 seconds\u2014before a final rinse.<\/p>\n

100 Microplastic Particles Per Gram<\/h3>\n

On average, they found that each gram of gum released about 100 microplastic particles, though some gums released up to 600. With most gum pieces weighing 2\u20136 grams, one large piece could release up to 3,000 microplastic particles.<\/p>\n

Assuming a person chews 160\u2013180 small pieces of gum per year (a moderate estimate in the U.S.), this could result in ingesting 30,000 microplastic particles annually, the researchers estimated.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, natural gums released similar amounts of microplastics. It\u2019s unclear exactly where these particles come from, but Lu suspects it\u2019s related to manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

Their study was also limited to identifying particles larger than 20 microns\u2014visible under a microscope\u2014meaning they didn\u2019t measure nanoplastics, which are smaller than 200 nanometers (a human hair is ~80,000 nanometers wide).<\/p>\n

Previous research has shown that a single bottle of water can contain hundreds of thousands of nanoplastic particles. \u201cThere may be many, many more microplastics in gum that we simply couldn\u2019t detect,\u201d said Mohanty.<\/p>\n

Most Plastic Released in First 2 Minutes<\/h3>\n

Lu also tested longer chewing times, collecting samples for over 20 minutes to monitor microplastic release. The majority of microplastic particles were released in the first 2 minutes, and by 8 minutes, 94% of the total plastic particles had already been released.<\/p>\n

If you’re trying to reduce your microplastic intake but aren\u2019t ready to give up gum entirely, chewing one piece longer instead of starting a new one may reduce your exposure, Lu suggests.<\/p>\n

Gum\u2026 Not So Harmless<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s still limited scientific data on how microplastics affect human health, but early evidence suggests harm. \u201cWe know it\u2019s not natural,\u201d said Mohanty.<\/p>\n

The researchers hope their findings raise awareness of this lesser-known source of microplastic exposure. \u201cWhen you chew gum, you think you’re getting flavor,\u201d said Mohanty. \u201cBut you\u2019re also getting a dose of plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lu adds that we also need to reconsider how we dispose of gum. \u201cIt\u2019s a source of plastic,\u201d she says, \u201cso it should be disposed of responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
