And that by chewing it you are ingesting a bunch of microplastics? Please confirm if this is true. I don’t want to believe.
Side question: what alternative means is there for sustained, minty fresh breath that does not involve ingesting microplastics? (Mints don’t work that great imo, the freshness wears off too fast. Gum was my go-to. Now what is left?)


No? If no plastic is in the chewing gum base, then it’s not from the chewing gum base.
You didn’t even get past the title, apparently. If the methodology changes everything, do share. (I mean it that this was helpful, though)
You could say the background amount that just got in as a contaminant is too much, which is a stance you can take, but isn’t what we’re talking about.
