Plastic in your gum?

I had no idea this was even an issues until I was looking for a pattern for reusable bags when I came across this blog 

When I chew gum its Dentyne Ice 
But I really had no idea that gum contains plastic. Well it turns out this blog post  explains it all.

I tend to stay away from gun because I end up biting the inside of my mouth when I chew it, but for those who need to chew the gum they make natural gums that do not contain any plastics!

The blog think that I included will tell you all about those gums!

Anyway food for thought now back to finding a good reusable bag pattern. Do you know of any?
