Alarming ingredient found in chewing gum linked to heart damage kidney disease A human health emergency
Alarming ingredient found in chewing gum linked to heart damage kidney disease A human health emergency. Chewing gum is a popular product consumed by millions worldwide but few people realize that many of the ingredients found in conventional gum are alarmingly similar to those used in plastic grocery bags and car tires. This revelation has sparked concern among health and environmental advocates with some calling it a human health emergency. A campaign in the U.K is now pushing for transparency in labeling and a potential ban on plastic based gum urging consumers to rethink their choices. Most conventional chewing gum brands contain synthetic polymers such as polyethylene and butadiene styrene rubber. Polyethylene a common plastic is used in everything from shopping bags to packaging materials. Butadiene styrene rubber on the other hand is found in car tires and industrial products. These materials are used in gum as a base to give it its chewy texture. However because manufacturers are not required to explicitly list these ingredients on packaging most consumers remain unaware that they are essentially chewing on plastic.

OTIS
The morning air was laden with a heavy scent of baked bread as I made my way to work. The steps leading up to the foyer doors seemed a bit off, or something askew from the ordinary daily routine. I'm not a hundred percent certain if they were cleaned or perhaps even updated. My mind wandered on this thought for what seemed like an hour or more, but I hadn't even made my way to the elevator yet. The steps to the elevator were maybe 15 when I had my sneaks on, but instead, I was wearing my dockers today. And yet again, I drifted off about my shoes and how comfortable they felt today. The feeling was so relaxing until my sense of hunger perked up. I became insatiably hungry and was craving meat—actually, more specifically, pan-fried pork bellies with a nice crispy outer edge and highly scented sautéed essences of garlic, shallots, and turnip. I got to the elevator, and the concierge apologized for the loudspeaker malfunctioning. I nodded and said, "Sorry, what loudspeaker?" The concierge replied, "Maintenance had turned up the volume for the speakers today." I obliged again and said, "What about the turnip?" To which he said, "Today's lunch special is fried turnip and pork bellies in a garlic sauce with garnished shallots." The concierge came up to me, and I remember him saying, "Mr. Kneeshe, are you okay? You seem to be distant today." "Normally you make a straight shot to me at the elevator and say 25. Then off we go to the 25th floor." I apologized to Nas for my cloudy mind set today. I even remarked to him that the baked bread smell had set me back from my normal daily routine. Nas just shrugged and reassured me that everything is in order, even the electrical problem that Otis corrected. I was thinking to myself that I probably should have taken today off. I knew now that today was just not a regular day, but a day of details and Easter Eggs. I will clarify the term "Easter Eggs" before I venture any further today. Easter Eggs are glitches—well no, more like missed observations of a daily routine. In other words, common everyday items that we pass by on a regular basis but then suddenly become hyper-aware of as we fixate on them for an over-extended period of time. "25," Nas called out to me and I just agreed as I normally do. "4," was called out, and no one else was in the elevator as we stopped. The doors opened, and a woman in overalls came in, smiled at me, and said, "Nice kicks!" I nodded and grinned again, taking a big inhale of her perfume. I knew what it was immediately—Bvlgari! My wife Luna wore that. As I watched her move to the door to exit, she looked back, winked, and made the "call me" sign with her right-hand fingers up to her ear and mouth. I tried to catch her name, and the crest or name tag said "Otis." Thinking that was a bit different for a woman but realizing all is possible, I decided to wink back just as the doors of the elevator started to close. I looked over at Nas, and he had his head down, cap over his forehead and eyes, so I figured he had noticed but kept tight on this. Nas yelled, "15," and a few other office workers came in, muttering something about an electrical issue and now having to go to 28. I lost myself in thought again and wondered how these associates would do once they actually made it to the Partners' main floor. Nas called out, "16." Another worker came in, and it seemed odd to me that they were dressed the same as Otis but were male and carried the same name tag. These little details kept my mind working in high gear. The entire day was not making sense to me. I actually started to become lost in a fog and thought about the fresh baked bread again and how incredibly mouthwatering the aroma had become. "18," Nas called out, and two more workers came in and made their way to the back of the elevator. So, here is the part of my day that didn't make sense. The elevator lights of the floors were completely different from the audibles Nas was calling out. My fogginess was full-on, and I started to fall. What I remembered next was the soft covers and warm sheets against my face and feet. The smell of ovenfresh-baked bread was the next thing I remembered. Then a voice carried through, calling out, "Kneeshe." That's my name, I heard, as I scrambled to my feet. I looked down and noticed that I had shoes on—patented leather—and I grew confused at this point. Moments later, or what seemed like a wavy, fluid sea of seconds, I sneezed hard and fell to the ground. Nas helped me up and asked if I was OK. Dazed and confused, I found myself at the doors of the elevator, ready to go up. Nas spoke up to me and offered me water, suggesting the cafeteria should be my primary stop before using the elevator to get some food. At this point, I figured my routine was off the rails, so I figured, why not? Upon entering the cafeteria, the smell of baked bread overpowered my sense of smell, and now I needed to have some of yhe baked bread. Following the beautiful scent of bread, I was harshly interrupted by the sizzle and snapping of frying bacon—or so I assumed. As the snapping sound drew me in, to my surprise, it was pork belly in garlic sauce with shallots and turnip. As I started to eat this meal confusion set in because there was no taste, no smell, or sounds, just nothingness with a faint blip every now and then. A new smell was creeping in again, but this time the smell was medicinal—lemon-like. I could hear a woman talking, saying the procedure was successful. However, this seemed like they were talking about someone I knew or should know. At the height of this clarity, the lights and numbers became clear—it was a digital wall clock or timer, just like the numbers on the elevator Nas takes me up to the 25th floor. Then the sounds of more people talking were around the area I was in. They appeared to have these lab coats or uniforms that had "OTIS" on the pockets. In a stunned state of mind, I reached for my head to try to understand, but was stopped and told to leave the bandages alone, that my brain was just operated on. I fell back into a heavy sleep. Upon leaving OTIS, my parents pushed the wheelchair and got to the car safely. Dad apparently said I'd be back to school and could catch up on my grade 6 homework.
