Gum
THE PROBLEM: Gum was originally made from natural chicle, but now its long-lasting rubbery consistency comes from petroleum-based polymers. Goodyear, the tire and rubber company, actually supplies Wrigley’s gum with a large portion of its main ingredients!
THE ALTERNATIVE: There are still a few brands of gum that can be found in health food stores or online that use natural chicle and no petroleum products. However, if you’re looking for something a little more accessible, try satisfying your minty cravings with natural herbal mints!
