Gum is highly acidic and depletes the body's alkaline reserves contributing to sickness and dis-ease.
Ingredient #1: Gum Base.
“Gum base” is a blend of elastomers, plasticizers, fillers, and resin. Some of the other ingredients that go into this mix are polyvinyl acetate, which is frequently referred to as “carpenter glue” or “white glue”. Paraffin wax is another ingredient that is a byproduct of refined petroleum. Chewing plastic, petroleum and rubber are highly acidic/toxic to the blood and tissues. As you chew gum, you activate the alkaline buffering system and white blood cells as you leach highly acidic toxins into the blood and tissues.
Ingredient #2: Aspartame.
The controversy surrounding this substance is widespread. It is one of the most acidic/toxic substances one can consume. Aspartame has been linked to all of the major acidic brain dis-eases including Alzheimer’s and ALS. It is also considered a prime contributor to many other dis-eases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, asthma, obesity, and many others. It is in many weight loss products on the market today, but in the long run actually contributes to obesity due to his extreme acidity. Aspartame is an acidic excitotoxin, which over excites neurons in the brain until they ferment, burn and die.
#3: Hydrogenated Coconut Oil and Starch.
Hydrogenation is chemical process that adds hydrogen across a double bonded carbon. This is done to increase the shelf life of a product, turning oil into a more plastic like substance. This process also creates trans-fats, which are now known to be highly tixuc and thus very harmful to health.
Ingredient #4: Colors (titanium dioxide, blue 2 lake, red 40).
Titanium dioxide is a nanoparticle that is very common in sunscreen and many other health products, including synthetic nutritional supplements. New evidence is leading in the direction of this substance being carcinogenic, leading to a cancerous acidic condition. Humans are drawn to things that are colorful. Artificial food colorings, such as red 40, are made from petroleum and are dangerous to health because food coloring are strong acids. Many people have extreme allergies to these acidic substances and they have been implicated in contributing to ADD and other congnitive disorders.
Ingredient #5: Sorbitol, Xylitol, Mannitol, Maltitol.
These acidic sugar alcohols are originally made from an toxic compound called sugar. All forms of sugar and its derviatives are ALL toxic to the blood and tissues and are significant contributors to ALL sickness and dis-ease.
