Chewing gum and mints are both popular options when it comes to refreshing your breath. Why the grip on mints over chewing gum is worthwhile, you will find out in this blog.
Background information on chewing gum
Chewing gum consists of elastomers, waxes and resins. The most common elastomer is rubber, which can be natural or synthetic. Producing this can be very complicated. In addition, the production of chewing gum uses petroleum as an ingredient known to be harmful to the environment. The chewing gum itself must be disposed of after chewing, as it should not be swallowed down. All this therefore makes chewing gum a less ecologically sensible choice.
Benefits and Ingredients of Mints
Mints in the form of peppermint sweets have been around since the 19th century. This is the century when they were first made by pharmacists as breath fresheners. Peppermint candies were originally created to make the breath smell better. They should also help with certain health complaints such as stomach and headaches.
So our Compass Mints have many benefits and in addition to the promotion of dental health they taste not only good and intensive, but above all long. The choice of high-quality ingredients and real fruits makes this possible. In comparison, the taste of chewing gum often fades completely after a short time.
So, after the next lunch, pick up mints in your favorite flavor!
