The aluminium content of three chewing gums was measured before and after chewing. Analysis by atomic absorption spectrometry demonstrated that a single stick of chewing gum may contain as much as 4 mg aluminium. Analysis of samples after chewing revealed that between 2 and 21% of the aluminium in some chewing gums is mobilized during chewing. These data suggest that a stick of chewing gum can yield aluminium levels that correspond to 0.05-2.22% of the typical daily intake of aluminium from all dietary sources. Therefore, although the aluminium content of some chewing gums is relatively large, only a small proportion of the aluminium is mobilized by chewing. These gums are unlikely to contribute significantly to the daily intake of dietary aluminium.
对三种口香糖咀嚼前后的铝含量进行了测量。通过原子吸收光谱法分析表明，单根口香糖可能含有多达4毫克的铝。对咀嚼后的样品分析显示，某些口香糖中2%至21%的铝在咀嚼过程中会被释放出来。这些数据表明，一根口香糖产生的铝含量相当于所有饮食来源中铝的典型日摄入量的0.05 - 2.22%。因此，尽管某些口香糖的铝含量相对较高，但只有一小部分铝会通过咀嚼被释放出来。这些口香糖不太可能对饮食中铝的每日摄入量有显著贡献。
