Do You Know What Is In Your Gum?

For some people today it may be hard to imagine a world without chewing gum, but this substance, in the modern form that we know it, has existed for just over 100 years.

Yet today, some of us have even convinced ourselves that we cannot live without it and each year pay into this billion dollar industry that is definitely not in it for our health.

During this time span, what many of us are also not aware of, is how this once natural and “tasty treat” has today become a chemical gateway into our bodies.

In an earlier article, I wrote about the details of soda pop and what you should know hides inside that sometimes so addictive substance, where your health is concerned.

Today, we are going to go on a similar journey and explore the details of chewing gum, as this substance is marketed heavily and used by millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, most people who regularly chew gum are not aware what their gum is made of and the health implications associated with it.

If you are a gum chewer, my intention is that this article sheds some light for you on what exactly you are putting into your body, so that you can make a better informed decision of whether you actually should be putting this product in your body.

If you are not a gum chewer, this article will definitely make you thankful you are not. Let us then begin our journey of getting to know chewing gum.

Today we are going to venture into a very popular area that has detrimental effects on our health. Yes indeed, soft drinks - probably one of the most toxic beverages for one’s health and at the same time one that too many of us drink on a regular basis.

Hence in today’s article we are going to dissect soft drinks - consider it, the everything you ever wanted to know about soft drinks, but were afraid to ask article! And you should be afraid to ask, for reasons you will find out in this article.

However, we are not going to talk about every soft drink. In this article I will use specific examples of 7Up, Ginger Ale and Brisk Ice Tea, as a general sample of all soft drinks, except one. We are not going to touch Coca-Cola, as there is so much to say about it, that it requires a whole write-up of its own, which I will do in the near future.

If you are a soft drink consumer, my intention is that this article sheds some light for you on what exactly you are putting into your body.
