Chewing gum contains petroleum derived plastics

Its commonly understood that the best way to promote brain health and ability is to omit as much toxins from your diet and generally live your life in healthier fashion. To this point, as a prolific chewer of gum, I found out today that my gum contains petroleum derived plastics in its gum base. I found out this is why gum never breaks down when you spit it on the sidewalk. I'll be moving on to beeswax based gum and I hope yall can benefit from this PSA.
