a lot of gum has sweeteners in it which give headaches to some people and allegedly contribute to causing cancers? I saw this gum as an alternative, are there any others that avoid some of the problems?

      Its plastic. This isn’t a joke, it’s actual plastic.

      Gum traditionally comes from gum trees, but that’s expensive to grow, harvest and process.

      What is Refresh Gum?

      While the majority of brands on the market use a plastic gum base, artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, and preservatives we use a tree sap gum base called chicle, real flavors, plant-based sweeteners, colors from fruits and vegetables, and no palm oil.
