Is it true that every time you swallow a piece of gum, it takes 7 years to digest? Please help me!!??


Answers: No, this is not true because I've had one of those scopes ran down my throat to look in my stomach (because of stomach problems) and there was nothing there although I've swallowed gum my whole life. The most problem with a lot of gum being swallowed would be constipation.
No, that's an old wives tale!
No, you can't fully digest gum so it gets passed through your stomach, intestines etc in your poop.
No, my dad is a doctor and he told me it only takes 7 hours. That's just a legend that some freak made up.
old wives tale. though people have dies and they have found gum wads in their intestines
don't chew gum!
