Chewing gum: great for fresh breath, fun for blowing bubbles, and… oh yeah… apparently a solid source of microplastics. Scientists just discovered that every stick you chew releases hundreds to thousands of tiny plastic particles straight into your saliva. And before you get smug about your “natural” gum, turns out, it’s just as bad.
At the American Chemical Society’s spring meeting, researchers shared their study on ten different gum brands—five synthetic, five natural. Their findings? The moment you start chewing, microplastics start breaking free. In fact, 94% of them are released within the first eight minutes. Some sticks let loose up to 600 microplastics per gram, meaning frequent gum-chewers could be swallowing around 30,000 microplastics per year. Delicious.
Now, scientists aren’t totally sure how bad this is for you (yet), but given that microplastics have already been found in human blood, testicles, and even brains… it’s probably not great. Previous research has also linked microplastics to potential health risks, so adding them to your gum habit isn’t exactly a selling point.
And don’t think you’re off the hook once you spit it out—gum is still full of plastic, which means it sticks around (literally) in the environment. So maybe rethink tossing it on the sidewalk… or into a lake, river, or ocean.
The takeaway? While we wait for more research, just know that every time you chew gum, you might be giving your digestive system an unexpected dose of “chewy” plastic. Fresh breath has never been so questionable.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit will want to clear some space on their shelves for the new LEGO The Shire set. LEGO’s latest Middle-earth masterpiece brings to life the heart of the Shire, where the meals are hearty, the gossip is ever-flowing, and the atmosphere is as festive as Bilbo Baggins’ eleventy-first birthday party. With 2017 pieces, this set recreates the iconic hobbit village in stunning detail and is packed with interactive features that make it feel like you’re right there among the hobbits.
The Shire set features Bilbo’s cozy hobbit-hole, complete with a round green door and a richly furnished interior, ready for a peaceful life full of planting, singing, and, of course, plenty of food. You can transform a burning letter into The One Ring, make Bilbo vanish with a turn of a dial, or even recreate the memorable firework dragon scene with interchangeable heads for Merry and Pippin.
This set also includes some of the most memorable characters from the story: Bilbo Baggins, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Samwise Gamgee, Rosie Cotton, Gandalf the Grey, and others. In total, you’ll get nine LEGO minifigures that bring the magic of the Shire to life.
Other notable inclusions? Gandalf’s horse and cart, fireworks, a firework dragon figure, and the Party Tree, where Bilbo’s legendary birthday party took place. You’ll even get a party pavilion and Bilbo’s book, which can be displayed either open or closed for extra charm.
Priced at $269.99, the LEGO The Shire set will be available on April 5, 2025. However, LEGO Insiders will have an exclusive early access opportunity starting on April 2. This set follows the successful launches of LEGO Rivendell and LEGO Barad-dûr, continuing the epic LEGO journey through Middle-earth.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in the peaceful Shire, surrounded by friends, fireworks, and good food, this set is your chance to bring that dream to life—one brick at a time!
