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?)

      Donating blood, especially plasma, has also shown to be a good way to reduce pfas and plastics in your blood

          Yes, but donations are important to save lives and there is generally a shortage. For now we will have to continue to prioritise the immediate benefit to the recipient. So if this motivates more people to go donate, then that’s great.
