A new study says that people who regularly chew the bubbles are likely to take millions of micro -plastic particles every year in the body.
Microplastics have fine particles of plastic that are less than five mm. These particles can be found in almost everything, including air, water, diet and chewing gum.
Studies suggest that making these dangerous plastic particles in our body can damage cells and DNAs, which can change the genetic process and increase cancer risk.
Researchers in the latest research conducted at the University of California have learned that the chewing gum emits micro -plastic in saliva that can later go into the body and make it to the digestive system.
On average, the body of a lost chewing body accumulates plastic particles equivalent to 15 credit cards annually.
