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.

What sets this chewing gum apart is its dual action—each piece contains plant-derived proteins like ACE2, which bind and trap viruses such as herpes and flu right in your mouth. With scientists at UPenn spearheading the gum revolution, medication and virus-catching just got tastier.
