It's not. It doesn't spend seven years in your intestines or whatever that old wives tale says. It goes through your digestive tract just as quickly as anything else and doesn't cause any harm while in your intestines unless you have swallowed an incredibly large amount in a short period of time.

The ingredients in gum aren't digestible and its only bad if you swallow several pieces a day and don't go to the potty regularly!

It's because gum is not made to be digested. It takes longer for gum to be digested than any other food.

gum stays in your system for like 2 days or something don't think it's really that bad to do.

It's not. Throwing or spitting your chewed gum on the sidewalk is bad.

I don't think chewing gum is dangerous. Just go on, and don't be frightened by urban legends. One advice from me : keep your mouth closed when you are chewing, the noise is really dangerous!!! haha

It isn't. Moms have told us that for years. Our systems don't digest it, but it comes out with the other waste.
