😬 Chewing gum might be adding 3,000 microplastic particles to your mouth.
And even "natural" gum isn’t safe.
Chewing gum, long considered a harmless habit, may be a hidden source of microplastic exposure.
A pilot study presented at the American Chemical Society’s Spring 2025 meeting found that both synthetic and natural gums can release hundreds to thousands of microplastic particles into saliva during chewing. Researchers from UCLA discovered that a single piece of gum could shed up to 3,000 particles—mostly polyethylene and polystyrene—dislodged not by digestion but by the repetitive mechanical action of chewing. Surprisingly, natural gums offered no advantage over synthetic brands, with both releasing similar amounts of microplastics.
Led by environmental engineer Professor Sanjay Mohanty, the research adds chewing gum to the growing list of everyday items contributing to microplastic consumption. While scientists are still investigating the long-term health effects of ingesting these tiny plastic fragments, Mohanty advises reducing exposure where possible—such as chewing each piece longer instead of frequently switching to new ones. As microplastics continue to show up in everything from bottled water to household dust, this discovery serves as a reminder that even small, routine habits may have unseen consequences.

A genomic test can identify whether people with melanoma are at low or high risk for cancer in their lymph nodes — a finding that could guide treatment decisions and help many people avoid lymph node biopsy surgery.

🚨 Scientists just found a protein that reverses brain aging.
UCSF Researchers found a key protein, FTL1, that rises with age and drives memory loss. In Mice, high FTL1 weakened neuron connections and made young brains age faster.
when FTL1 was reduced in old mice, their brain networks grew youthful again, memory improved, and metabolism revived.
This is really a crazy breakthrough 🤯...
