What's gum made out of?!


Question:

What's gum made out of?

i heard it was made from horse hooves
and i hope not, because i can't kick the habit
i'm a compulsive gum chewer


Answers:

Ironically there was an article a few days ago on the TV pro gramme "how it's made" and it was about gum.
Not to worry, according to this article the main ingredient is rubber or artificial rubber. Along with flavorings.
Another pro gramme was "Dr. Know" they went on to show if one swallows gum, it will pass through the digestive system and not be affected by the digestive acids.
Hope this puts you at ease.
Good chewing
