Is Your Chewing Gum Slowly Killing You?

~




WE DON'T DIE.

WE KILL OURSELVES.




Most people unknowingly eat and drink a cocktail of dangerous chemicals on a daily basis.

Are these unnatural foods we’ve eaten over the past 60 years the cause of increased illnesses like cancer, diabetes, allergies and immune deficiencies?

Most chewing gums innocuously list "gum base" as one of their ingredients, masking the fact that petroleum, lanolin, glycerin, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetate, petroleum wax, stearic acid, and latex (a possible allergen) may be among the components.

Because of standards of identity for items such as gum base and flavoring, manufacturers are not required to list everything in their product.

According to Dertoline, a French chemical manufacturer, their adhesive "dercolytes" are used as a label and tape adhesive, as well as a chewing gum base.
