I was looking at the ingredients for two popular chewing gum's and, to my shock, found BHA and BHT, two cancer causing preservatives commonly found in pet food! I never feed my pets anything with those preservatives and I sure won't be eating (or chewing) anything with them either!

The chewing gum’s are:

  • Wrigley's Juicy Fruit - Strappleberry
  • Wrigley's Eclipse - Cherry Chill

I'm sure there are many more chewing gum, candy, and food products out there that contain these preservatives, so please everyone check the Ingredients on the back of all the products you and your pets plan on consuming. It could save your life in the long run.

These are also commonly used in preserving bread to give them longer shelf life and have been for decades.
