Can I have my chewing gum?

Is it really safe to have one of this chewing gums?
 It may seem like it is, but lets check the additives, it has 9 of them. First we fin E170,E422,E141,E100 and E903. All this additives aresafe to eat. Then we find E414, this additive is just dangerous in large quantities. But finally we find E171 (oxido de titanio) this additive consumed in small quantities can turn your nails yellow and in large quantities it can block oxygen going to your kidneys and you liver, then we have E133 ( azul brillante) this additive comes from petroleum and it accumulates in the kidneys, sometime it can turn your poop green. The last additive is E321 (butilhidroxituoleno) it also comes from petroleum and it has been prohibited in Japan, it accumulates on body fat and it can cause a raising in the cholesterol level.

  1. Good job!
    What about researching on the amount of chewing gums you should "eat" to feel some of the negative effects?
