Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a chewing gum that delivers medication and even traps pesky flu and herpes viruses. This medication delivered by chewing gum innovation could soon swap your daily pills for bubble-blowing science. Turns out, fighting off viruses might just be as easy as popping in a stick of gum.

Beyond its antiviral prowess, this gum is a game-changer for oral health. Infused with plant-derived proteins, it not only combats viruses but also disrupts dental plaque formation, offering a dual-action defense. Imagine a future where a simple chew not only freshens breath but also shields against infections and cavities.
