Hidden plastics in chewing gums: a microplastics and endocrine disruptor nightmare for cellulite
Surprisingly, the types of plastics found - such as polyolefins, polyethylene terephthalates, polyacrylamides, and polystyrenes - were the same in both natural and synthetic gums, with polyolefins being the most common. Most microplastics were released within the first two minutes of chewing, not due to saliva enzymes but from the abrasive action of chewing itself. After eight minutes, 94% of the detectable microplastics had detached. The study suggests chewing a single piece for longer rather than switching to a new one could reduce exposure. Cellulite, influenced by estrogenic endocrine disruptors, may worsen with microplastics from chewing gum, as these particles can mimic hormones like oestrogen…
