References to "mint leaves", without a qualifier like "peppermint" or "apple mint", generally refer to spearmint leaves. Mentha (also known as mint, from Greek μίνθα míntha, [2] Linear B mi-ta [3]) is a genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae (mint family). [4] The exact distinction between species is unclear; it is estimated that 13 to 24 species exist. [5] [1] Hybridization occurs naturally where some species' ranges overlap. Many hybrids and cultivars are known.

False. Bite for bite, sure the shark is nastier, but in terms of slaughter there's no comparison. Mosquito bites – which spread diseases like malaria – kill an estimated one million people per year – mostly children under five – while less than six are killed by shark bites. In fact hippos, deers, bees, dogs, ants, jellyfish, cows, horses spiders and snakes are all more likely to kill you than a shark. But then who wants to see a horror movie call Moo? True Mints reveals a cool and crisp mint fragrance, reminiscent of fresh peppermint leaves. This invigorating mintiness is complemented by subtle herbal and earthy undertones. Mint essential oil and menthol are extensively used as flavorings in breath fresheners, drinks, antiseptic mouth rinses, toothpaste, chewing gum, desserts, and candies, such as mint (candy) and mint chocolate. The substances that give the mints their characteristic aromas and flavors are menthol (the main aroma of peppermint and Japanese peppermint) and pulegone (in pennyroyal and Corsican mint). The compound primarily responsible for the aroma and flavor of spearmint is L- carvone. Most chewing gum contains plastic. In fact, the same plastic materials that go into plastic bottles, glue, and rubber tyres. But True Gum is different because it is a plastic-free and palm oil free alternative. We make it with sap from gum trees, all-natural flavours, and plant-based xylitol sweeteners. True Gum is suitable for vegans because it has no animal-derived ingredients. Carefully review the product label to ensure the ingredients are natural. Some mints contain as few as three ingredients that are often Non-GMO Project Verified, kosher, vegan-friendly and gluten-free. Others are Certified USDA Organic, allergen-free and lactose-free.Mint". South Texas Unit of The Herb Society of America. Archived from the original on 2013-06-29 . Retrieved 2013-07-14.

Thanks for trying our plastic-free chewing gum, super cool 🙏🏼And we're sorry to hear about. Saying goodbye to the aspartame, synthetic sweeteners and artificial flavours that dominate regular gum does yield a different result - it will never be a one-to-one experience, when all ingredients are fundamentally different 😊We would rather think sustainable compared to using synthetic and plastic derived ingredients - and that is of course a deliberate choice we make. True. Look at this diagram of a hydrogen atom. Notice the distance between the nucleus and the electron. At true scale this distance is enormous. If you imagine the nucleus as a pea in the middle of a football stadium, then the electron would be a gnat whizzing around the very edge of the top row of seats.
