Video:Discarded Gum a Sticky Problem for Mexico

discarded gum a sticky problem for mexico

mexico city — the country that gave the world chewing gum is getting gummed up: the average square yard (meter) of mexico city sidewalk has 70 blobs of discarded chew.

now mexico is responding with innovations ranging from expensive sidewalk steam-cleaners to natural chewing gum that breaks down quickly. it's even telling its citizens (gulp!) to swallow their gum.

the general in the war on discarded chewing gum is ricardo jaral, mexico city's director for conservation of public spaces. he bemoans the blackened gobs that mar the newly restored 700-year-old downtown area and litter the lovely but porous hand-chiseled sidewalks along the city's main boulevard.

he has purchased a fleet of german machines that clean sidewalks with steam and chemicals, and is looking at launching a public-awareness campaign.

"when you finish chewing a piece of gum, you either have to put in a piece of paper and deposit it in a trash receptacle, or swallow it," jaral said.

not so fast, says dr. nick desai, a pediatrician at the children's hospital at vanderbilt in nashville, tennessee. he said swallowing gum isn't a good idea. it usually passes through the digestive system, but can ball up with other objects and cause an intestinal blockage.

"it's nothing to get too upset about if it happens," desai said. "but we shouldn't make a habit of it."

jaral shrugged off such concerns today: "i've always swallowed my gum, and it's never done me any harm."

the sticky problem involves the long-lasting, synthetic chewing gum base used since the 1940s to replace the latex-like chicle resin that ancient mayans had long collected from the sapodilla tree. the mayans chewed unflavored chicle to clean their teeth.

modern chewing gum was born in the 1860s when mexican gen. antonio lopez de santa anna brought some mexican chicle to u.s. inventor thomas adams, who first experimented with it as a possible rubber substitute but later added flavorings and sold it as a treat.

mexico largely forgot its natural, biodegradable gum base and wholeheartedly adopted u.s. synthetic gum. mexicans now chew an average of 2.6 pounds (1.2 kilograms) of gum each year, half what the average american chews but still among the highest rates in latin america.

of course, gobs of discarded gum are a problem around the world. singapore once famously banned chewing gum outright to save its sidewalks, and still requires chewers to register at the pharmacy. the rid-a-gum company of staten island, new york, sells about 200 of its $3,500 cleaning machines a year.

"it's a major, major problem for malls, schools, any kind of public facility," said rid-a-gum owner jack hurley.

mexico says the solution may lie in the past, with its natural chicle producers. in the jungles of southern mexico, manuel aldrete's cooperative of chicle harvesters is about to launch a line of organic chewing gums. he says his product breaks down far more quickly on park benches, streets and sidewalks.

"it dries up, breaks down and turns to dust," aldrete said. "when it's hot it is sticky, but when it cools it dries up and peels off almost automatically."

he estimated that in colder climates it would take up to six months to break down, and much less time in hotter areas. but it's still a small piece of the market: only about 300 tons of chicle are produced annually, a tiny fraction of the tens of thousands of tons that would be needed to supply even mexico's domestic market.

plus, aldrete notes, the "environmentally conscious consumers" who buy organic gum probably aren't the same people spitting their chews onto the sidewalk.

"they're the kind who are probably going to find a garbage can and deposit it in the one labeled 'organic waste,'" he said.

Video:Teen Overdoses on Nicotine Gum

teen overdoses on nicotine gum

west bromwich, england (upi) -- the mother of a 14-year-old british boy who overdosed on nicotine gum blames school officials who allowed it to be handed out without parental consent.

the boy, identified as aiden williams of west bromwich, england, fell ill and collapsed after chewing 105 pieces of nicorette gum in 25 minutes, ingesting quantities of nicotine equivalent to smoking 180 marlboro light cigarettes, the daily mail reported monday.

aiden told authorities he had been given the gum by another student, who in turn had received it from drug counselors visiting menzies high school science college. they had been in the school that morning giving out hundreds of boxes of nicorette to pupils who smoke.

mother caroline williams told the daily mail: "the doctors said that he could have died and he had to be kept in for 24 hours for observation. i know what my son did was stupid, but if anything it proves that these kids can't be given responsibility for taking medication that could do serious harm."

counsellor margaret storrie said, "aiden's friend who was originally given the gum would have been told very clearly how often to use it by the worker who gave it to him."

Video:Gum With Bark  - Beats Bad Breath

gum with bark - beats bad breath

chicago (reuters) - magnolia bark extract -- a traditional chinese medicine -- may be the newest weapon in the war on bad breath.

chewing gum maker wm wrigley jr co said on tuesday that it has added a bit of this germ-killing compound to their eclipse gum and mints. the hope is to not simply mask bad breath, as most strongly flavored mints and gums do, but to kill odor-causing bacteria.

magnolia bark extract has long been a staple of traditional chinese medicine. it is used to treat fever, headache and stress -- and has proven effective against germs that cause ulcers. recent studies have shown it has low toxicity and few side effects.

most bad breath occurs when bacteria in the mouth break down proteins, producing foul-smelling sulfur compounds. but many antimicrobial agents cause nasty side effects like tooth staining, making them impractical for oral care.

according to research published last fall by company scientists, researchers in wrigley's lab tested magnolia bark extract on cultures of three types of oral microorganisms. the extract killed 99.9 percent of the microorganisms within five minutes, the researchers said.

in a study of nine volunteers who chewed the mints after lunch, they killed off more than 61 percent of the germs that cause bad breath within 30 minutes -- which is comparable to some commercial mouthwashes, the company study found. mints without the extract were only 3.6 percent effective.

gum with the extract took a bit longer to kill oral bacteria. the extract also helped kill a group of bacteria that causes tooth decay.

wrigley's tree-bark gum will be on u.s. store shelves later this summer. mints with the tree-bark extract will be available this fall.

Video:What Is Gum Made Of?

what is gum made of?

a singaporean was on holiday in malaysia..

he was having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter & jam at the hotel's coffee house.

a malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him & started a casual conversation.
malaysian : "you singaporeans eat the whole bread?"
singaporean : "of course."
malaysian : "we don't. in malaysia, we only eat what's inside. the crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sell them across to singapore."

the malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the singaporean listened in silence.
malaysian : "do you eat the jam with the bread?"
singaporean : "of course."
malaysian (chuckling): "we don't. in malaysia, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds & other left-overs in a container, recycle them, transform them into jam,..... before we sell it across to singapore."

this time, the singaporean retorted : "do you have sex in malaysia?"
malaysian : "why, of course we do"
singaporean : "do you wear protection"
malaysian : "of course! we wear condoms."
singaporean : "and what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
malaysian : "stupid question ! of course we throw them away."
singaporean : "we don't. in singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum & sell them across to malaysia,... & that's the real reason why we banned chewing gum in singapore."
