Gum Base.
Hi. I've noticed that in chewing gum & other things like that it says 'gum base'. What is it? Is it a smart way of saying gelatine without actually saying it? Or is it an ingredient that is fine for vegetarians?
Thanks.

Re: Gum Base.
I'm pretty sure most gum bases are safe for vegetarians.
There are a lot of different ones but most of them come from a plant that is found in rainforests.
