What could be the matter and what kind of doctor should I see for help? There are two common types of muscle injuries, strains and sprains. A muscle strain is an injury that affects muscles or tendons, which are the thick bands that connect muscles to bone. A muscle sprain is an injury that affects ligaments, which are thick bands that connect bone to bone. Sprains can range in severity from a mild stretch to a complete tear.
A food additive made from the sap of the acacia tree, gum arabic, also called acacia gum, is harvested from wild trees in the Middle East as well as parts of Africa and west Asia. Gum arabic is added to a wide variety of foods, acting as a stabilizer to help bind the foods together, and when used in larger quantities can be a source of soluble fiber.
No artificial sweeteners (like Aspartame or Acesulfame K). No preservatives (like BHT). Non-GMO Project Verified. Classic Glee Gum is sweetened with Fair Trade cane sugar and brown rice syrup. Sugar-Free Glee Gum is sweetened with 100% xylitol from American birch and beech trees for added dental benefits. ECO-FRIENDLY, TOO! Packaged in recyclable material (no blister packs) and made with chicle, a tree sap harvested sustainably from the rainforest of Central America. Once all chewing gum was made with chicle, but today most gum is made entirely from synthetic stuff. Glee Gum uses chicle because it helps to conserve the rainforest, giving trees more value standing than chopped down for lumber.
