If we open our eyes and look carefully around us, we will see so many helpless sick people, and we will see how diseases catch young people. Notice how many young people suffer from cancer today. We don’t know that the foods and drinks we sometimes consider normal are a source of cancer, and we use them every day.
Today, majority of young people chew gum considering it something normal and safe. Let’s see if chewing gum is really harmless.
I am writing about the composition of a gum we all know and the harm it does to us, and you draw your own conclusions in the end (I do not write the name of the gum to avoid anti-advertising):
- Sorbitol E420 is an artificial sugar. Diabetes mellitus is 200 times stronger than ordinary sugar, causes headaches, proneness to diarrhea and fatty liver; it is also not digested by the body. It is allergen and injected into chewing gum to give sweetness;
- Rubber base – all rubber items are formed from this base;
- Mannitol – reduces the activity of the brain, keeps a person drowsy;
- E950 (potassium acesulfate) – this substance has been tested on mice, and it caused cancer;
- Aspartame – Aspartame is injected into the gum both to give a snow effect and as a sweetener. Until 1976, it was used to kill insects. Using the power of their money, large firms first began to use it in the popular carbonated drinks, and then almost everywhere. It contains very dangerous toluene compounds which cause memory loss, hormonal disorders, epilepsy, convulsions, Parkinson’s, diabetes, metabolic disorders and headaches (and believe it or not, I do not write all of the dangerous diseases they cause);
- E321 – used to improve the quality of motor oils and lubricants;
- E322 Lecithin is a genetically modified, soy-derived substance that has caused infertility in mice.
Yes, after reading this article, it is worth thinking again about how dangerous chewing gum, which is a collection of chemicals, is for our lives.
