Are there any harmful substances in bubble gum?

In addition to sugar, bubble gum is the main additives are rubber and plasticizers, bubble gum to add 7% plasticizer to blow bubbles, this substance is a substance with low toxicity, but if you eat more than 10 pieces of bubble gum a day, you will eat more plasticizers, which is harmful. In addition, the sucrose in bubble gum will work with bacteria in the mouth to produce acidic substances that decalcify teeth and promote the formation of tooth decay. Some children not only blow bubble gum in their mouths, but also pull bubble gum with their hands from time to time and then put it in their mouths to chew, which will eat the bacteria in their hands, which is even more unhealthy for their health.

Some children put bubble gum in their mouths for a long time to chew, causing facial muscle soreness, greatly reducing appetite, and affecting normal meals. Some children even accidentally swallow bubble gum into their stomachs, which is not only unhygienic, but also causes poor excretion and physical discomfort. After eating bubble gum, some children throw it everywhere, which is not easy to clean and hygiene, causing a lot of trouble.

Newspapers and periodicals have also reported cases of children in a certain place who smoked bubble gum and used improper force, causing sugar to block the airway and cause death. It can be seen that children should not bubble more gum, and they should also be careful when eating to avoid adverse consequences. Bubble gum should only be chewed and should not be swallowed.

But if you accidentally swallow a piece of sugar gum, it won't be a big problem. Because a small piece of sugar gum is very small, and the manufacturer has taken into account the possibility of being swallowed by children when manufacturing this kind of children's food, bubble gum is not toxic. However, the ingredients of gum are not nutraceuticals, but only binders and should not be swallowed.

If the child accidentally swallows the sugar gum into the stomach, the child should drink more boiled water, eat less greasy food, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber within 24 hours to maintain the normal digestion of the stomach and intestines, so that the sugar gum can be naturally discharged with food residues.

Although the natural rubber in bubble gum is non-toxic, the first-grade white sheet glue used to make bubble gum is added with additives such as vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants with certain toxicity, and eating more will be bad for the body.

The main ingredients in bubble gum are white sugar, additives, etc., there are no toxins, and it will not affect your health after eating, and it can be excreted along with the excrement, so you don't have to worry, you can eat more foods containing crude fiber to promote excretion after eating bubble gum by mistake.

Most chewing gum uses sucrose as a sweetener, and when chewing gum, the sugar will stay in the mouth for a long time, and the cariogenic bacteria in the mouth will use sucrose to produce acidic substances, which will corrode the teeth, resulting in decalcification of the teeth, thereby inducing caries.

Bubble gum is actually something that can be blown after chewing, and that is called bubble gum, but because the piece of rubber after the bubble gum has been chewed, it is not swallowable, so everyone will spit it out, which leads to the kind of bubble gum that pollutes the environment many times, and now everyone is no longer popular to go to bubble gum.

Bad bubble gum fault:

1) Affects maxillofacial development. Bubble gum increases the movement of the tongue, and in the process of chewing and blowing foam, the tongue is constantly protruded, the tongue is added, and the tongue is protruded, which can affect the development of the maxillofacial area and cause dental and jaw deformity.

2) Poisoning. The base of bubble gum is polyvinyl acetate resin, as well as plasticizers. Plasticizers and sugars dissolve in the mouth and are swallowed into the body. Each piece of bubble gum contains 350 mg of plasticizer, although the toxicity is low, but for every 4 8 pieces eaten, it is close to the toxic dose of the human body.

3) Unhygienic. Many children like to blow the bubble and hold it in their hands and then put it back in their mouths, which is susceptible to bacteria.

4) Accidents. Young children should not eat bubble gum. There is a risk of swallowing bubbles in the mouth or bronchial foreign bodies.

The carbon dioxide contained in the non-toxic bubble gum vaporizes in the mouth when it is heated and vaporized, and then it produces a thrust to make the popping candy particles jump in the mouth. Someone has done an experiment! They put hopping candy in the water and observed that there were continuous bubbles coming out of its surface, and it was these bubbles that made people feel like they were "jumping", but of course, this may only be one part.

Next, another experiment was done: a small amount of unpigmented popping candy was put into the clarified lime water, and after a while, it was found that the clarified lime water became cloudy, and carbon dioxide made the clarified lime water cloudy. Based on the above phenomena, it can be inferred that:

There is carbon dioxide in the jumping candy, and when it encounters water, the sugar on the outside dissolves and the carbon dioxide inside comes out, which produces a feeling of "jumping".

The main ingredient of bubble gum is colloid, which is not easy to decompose, is difficult to digest after swallowing, and can only be excreted from the body in the end. Bubble gum is difficult to be decomposed in gastric juice, and it is also difficult to decompose in the environment, causing white pollution and image hygiene.
