🚨🇺🇸GUM COULD BE A MAJOR SOURCE OF MICROPLASTIC EXPOSURE Chewing gum may come with more than just flavor - it could be delivering microplastics straight into your mouth. UCLA researchers found that a single stick can release up to 3,000 plastic particles into saliva, especially within the first 2...

That’s wild. Never thought gum could be this bad. Are there any brands that are actually plastic-free?

Microplastics are even more prevalent than I thought. If they are one of the causes of dementia, we need to eliminate them.

"You A Gum Chewer?...You May Want To Rethink Your Gum Chewing Habit." Layne Kilpatrick "You Are Chewing The Exact Ingredients In Tires & Glue With A Hefty Dose Of Plastic." "The US FDA Allows Gum Manufacturers To Hide 100s Of Chemicals Within 'Gum Base' On Ingredient Labels." Some of the substances used in common chewing gums include styrene-butadiene, polyethylene & polyvinyl acetate—compounds found in tires, plastic bags & wood glue, respectively. Most chewing gum today contains synthetic chemicals & plastics as part of its "gum base". Modern synthetic gum bases include: Polyethylene: A common type of plastic used to make items like plastic bags & milk jugs. Polyvinyl acetate: A plastic used in wood glue. Styrene-butadiene rubber: A synthetic rubber used to manufacture car tires. Paraffin wax: A petroleum byproduct. Major gum manufacturers like Wrigley don’t disclose these chemicals, instead choosing to hide them behind the vague term “gum base.” But now you’ll know that whenever you see the term “gum base” on a pack of Doublemint, you might as well be chewing on a set of Michelin tires & washing it down with a thick glass of Elmer’s glue. The FDA allows manufacturers to list "gum base" as a single ingredient rather than disclosing each of its individual components, which includes synthetic plastics & rubbers. The specific formula for a brand's gum base is typically a trade secret. FDA regulations on gum base is basically no regulation at all: A "food additive" category: The FDA classifies "chewing gum base" as a food additive that may contain any number of individual substances. Undisclosed formula: A manufacturer can use any ingredient they coin as GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe. It is 100% legal to have hidden materials in their proprietary gum base formula without listing them individually on the chewing gum's ingredient label, as long as they are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. Consumer advocacy: This practice has drawn criticism from consumer advocates who argue that the GRAS designation is overly vague & allows companies to hide potentially harmful chemical additives from the public. Natural Chewing Gum Alternatives: SIMPLY GUM: A widely available and well-known brand of natural, plastic-free gum. It is made with natural chicle, organic cane sugar & natural flavors. Simply Gum is also free of aspartame & other artificial sweeteners. THE HUMBLE CO: This brand offers a sugar-free, biodegradable gum made from natural ingredients. NATHAN & SONS UNDERBRUSH CHEWING GUM: This gum is handcrafted from natural tree saps like acacia, chicle & spruce. The company emphasizes that its gum has a different, sap-based texture compared to conventional plastic gums. CHEWSY: A plant-based, plastic-free & sugar-free chewing gum. Chewsy uses a biodegradable, natural gum base & is sweetened with xylitol. WELDENTAL: This brand is noted for both its plastic-free gum formula & its packaging. The gum comes in plastic-free packaging, such as cardboard tubes & uses a plant-material eco-bag for refills. 👇UCLA Finds Plastics In Chewing Gum👇 👇What Chewing Gum Is Actually Made From👇 👇Microplastics Are Plaquing Up Your Arteries👇 Speaker: @hormonespecialist

'To them, we could be like a fungus. Some might say, 'Look, if they were going to do harm to us, wouldn't they have done it by now?' I don't know. We think we're at the top of the food chain. What if, we're not?" (This is SO GOOD and worth your time. Kudos to Dr. Phil because this is one of the best I've seen from a mainstream voice in discussing the, potential, issues with Disclosure that something more advanced is on this planet with us. It was uploaded to his YT on May 8th of this year.) ~ Dr. Phil: "I mean, think about it. Doesn't it cause us to question the meaning of humanity and the cosmos? Wouldn't it change that? Wouldn't it cause us to have to reexamine philosophy, religion, personal worldviews? "Potential reframing of human exceptionalism that we base our value systems on, is that we're at the top of the food chain. That there is human exceptionalism. That we, as humans, are the be-all and end-all of this world. And then, all of a sudden, we find out, not true. To them, we could be like a fungus. "People have posed questions like, 'Well, if they're here, why haven't they talked to us? Why haven't they identified themselves to us?' It may be that we're so minuscule and irrelevant, why would they bother. "And so, the psychological impact on individuals, the individual effects, could result in acute stress, just being awestruck, unbelievable curiosity, and existential anxiety. Like, who are we? If we're not at the top of the food chain, if we're not the be-all and end-all of the Universe, then what are we? Are we like gum on the shoe of the superior beings? How would we explain all of that? "And so people would begin to look for coping strategies, immediately seeking information, spiritual exploration, figuring out how do I fit in? And then, in terms of community dynamics, the world, it could be very divisive. It could increase everything that we do, culturally, religiously, political identities. Rumors, and misinformation could flourish, especially on the web. Oh my God, can you imagine what would start flying around then? Making trusted communicators really crucial. And if there's a crisis of confidence with the government because they've lied to you for so long, where do you go to get real information? "And the long-term mental health aspects when you don't know the motives or the intent of these entities could create chronic worry, conspiracy thinking, paranoia, feelings of unbelievable inadequacy. Some may celebrate with renewed optimism, like 'Wow, look what we found! These people, if they can do all this, maybe they can cure all the diseases. They can come up with solutions to problems. This is great!' "How would governments react (laughs)? Russia, China, United States would all be scrambling to establish some kind of process for monitoring potential collaboration. Our intelligence communities would go crazy. Our Department of Defense, our science agencies would have to start redoing everything, revisiting risk assessment. "Of course, we would be trying to establish exchange programs. Maybe they're not even interested? Like I say, we could be like gum on their shoe. Who knows? How do you feel about that? "If they were to reveal themselves, what is their agenda? Some might say, 'Look, if they were going to do harm to us, wouldn't they have done it by now?' I don't know. If we're so insignificant, it doesn't matter, it could be irrelevant. But then, why are they here? Now you may think, 'Okay, Doctor Phil's finally gone over the high side. He's gone down nutball highway.' That's not what I'm telling you. "I'm saying the government knows more than they're telling us. My question is: Is it unsafe for the general population to know all of this? Would it create such anxiety and panic that it's more than people can handle? Because it would rewrite almost every value, every paradigm that we know. Because we think we're at the top of the food chain. What if, we're not? What does that mean? And how would you feel about that? "You really need to ask yourself those questions because I think we're getting ready, maybe not to meet someone from another galaxy, but I think we're getting ready to find out there are things that we can't explain, but do have in our possession. Evidence that we can explain with concepts we understand. The question is: How do you feel about it? Because that's the real story." (He briefly mentions Grusch in the full, video.)

We may think we’ve left the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic behind, but SARS-CoV-2 hasn’t left us. 🦠 At today’s DeSci conference, LCL founder Rohan Dixit explained how the number of people who need antiviral treatments to remove the SARS-CoV-2 virus from their bodies may be MUCH higher than originally thought. Persistent viral infection is emerging as the leading cause of Long Covid, affecting up to 100M people across the world. Yet a recent study from Brigham and Women's Hospital showed the number of people who need these treatments may in fact be much higher. This paper from Swank et al. just came out in the Dec. 2024 edition of Clinical Microbiology and Infection. It showed that the same biomarkers pointing to chronic infection in Long Covid patients were also found in up to 20% of people who felt recovered from their acute Covid infection. This means the virus itself may still be present. We now know this virus can get into the brain, and all of the major organs of the body. 🧠 The frightening reality is that the number of people who need treatments to remove virus could be up to 20% of everyone who’s had Covid. 😱 That’s because even if the virus isn’t necessarily causing symptoms that people notice right now, that doesn’t mean its presence is harmless. As research progresses, we’re learning more and more about how certain viruses can persist in the body and cause long-term health consequences. For example, a potential casual link appears to be developing between EBV infection and multiple sclerosis. Persistent viral infection may also be the root cause of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and ME/CFS. 🦠 What’s more, persistent viral infection can cause immune dysfunction that even leads to cancer over time. 💔 Lets face it: the reality of Covid-19 is very different from what we were told. Up to 20% of us who don't have Long Covid may still be carrying the virus around with us, even if we don’t feel sick. Let’s not play Russian roulette with our health. Lets do the smart thing and use actual science to solve this problem, today. ❤️‍🩹 (For references, see next tweet!).
