Polysorbate 80 in nicotine gum and lozenges? Yes. So what? Well, it causes your blood brain barrier to leak

Grok confirms that, 

Based on available information, both Nicorette and TopCare include polysorbate 80 in their nicotine lozenges. Nicorette's lozenges, such as the Coated Ice Mint and Cools variants, list polysorbate 80 among their ingredients. Similarly, TopCare's Nicotine Lozenge (4 mg) is explicitly noted to contain polysorbate 80. Other brands like GoodSense and Equate may also produce nicotine lozenges, but specific confirmation of polysorbate 80 in their formulations is less clear from the provided data. Always check product labels for the most accurate ingredient information. 

Evidently, there are gut issues associated with long-term exposure.

Nicotine Lozenges: The amount of polysorbate 80 in lozenges is small, and short-term use for smoking cessation is unlikely to pose significant risks for most people. Long-term use warrants caution due to cumulative exposure.

Recommendation

If you’re concerned about polysorbate 80 in nicotine lozenges, check product labels for brands that exclude it or consult a healthcare provider, especially if you have gut issues or allergies. For broader context, reducing overall exposure to processed foods and medications containing emulsifiers may help mitigate potential risks. Always weigh the benefits of smoking cessation against theoretical risks of additives. If you’d like, I can search for specific brands of lozenges without polysorbate 80 or provide more detailed studies. Let me know!

Further, one brand I've tried, an Amazon brand called Perrigo seems to contain Polysorbate 80.  

Do Perrigo brand nicotine lozenges contain Polysorbate 80?

I couldn't find specific information on the ingredients of Perrigo's nicotine lozenges. Ingredient lists can vary by product and formulation, and Perrigo produces multiple versions of nicotine lozenges, often as store brands. However, based on available data for similar nicotine lozenges, many, including those from brands like Nicorette and Wal-Mart, do contain polysorbate 80 as an emulsifier or stabilizer.

To confirm whether Perrigo's specific nicotine lozenges contain polysorbate 80, check the packaging or contact Perrigo’s customer service directly, as exact formulations may differ. If you’d like, I can search for more specific information or help with something else.

Polysorbate 80 opens up the blood brain barrier?  Dear God.  I wonder if gut bulging, displacement, and distension are the result of a leaky blood brain barrier.
