And that by chewing it you are ingesting a bunch of microplastics? Please confirm if this is true. I don’t want to believe.
Side question: what alternative means is there for sustained, minty fresh breath that does not involve ingesting microplastics? (Mints don’t work that great imo, the freshness wears off too fast. Gum was my go-to. Now what is left?)
It’s not natural to have minty fresh breath. It’s natural to succumb to infection and die, though, so don’t worry if that happens.
In any case, one can achieve ‘minty-breath’ (for a while, anyway) using altoids (etc), or actual leaves, and possibly extracts / sprays.
It’s not like gum is the only source.
