A new experimental chewing gum could help reduce the amount of coronavirus particles in saliva and help slow transmission according to a new study published in the journal Molecular Therapy.
The gum is a source of protein that “traps” virus particles. This may limit the spread droplets containing virus in people who are breathing, talking, and coughing.
“Chewing gum containing virus-trapping proteins is an affordable strategy to protect patients from most oral viral infections by debulking or limiting transmission to others,” the study authors wrote.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania tested the chewing gum in test tubes using saliva and swabs samples of patients admitted to hospitals who had confirmed COVID-19.
The gum is a source of the ACE2 protein found on cell surfaces, which is the “spike” protein that coronavirus utilizes to break into cells and infect them
