It's ok if you swallow the odd bit, but not as a regular thing (build up inside your body etc). But i used to swallow chewing gum for years when i was younger and didn't have any problems. So if you've done it, DON'T PANIC!

Yeah. I submit to in concepts i became little and did not comprehend the little candies in the automobile dealership have been products of gum and swallowed them. i presumed it became the main demanding candy in the international by way of fact no rely how lots you chewed, it in no way have been given to the factor the place you ought to swallow it. regrettably, i became extremely stupid as a small toddler and did not comprehend that that became the factor of this candy... Gum takes an prolonged time to digest i think of. i don't think of it definitely takes seven years, whether it takes a on an identical time as. It shouldn't do any injury. that's in all probability not the healthiest element to do, so could desire to discourage your toddler from swallowing it from no on. i'm specific super quantities can't be stable.

No because it stays in your digestive system/intestines for about 7 years, I think, after swallowing it, so if you swallow lots, you'll have problems. Even if you dont swallo lots, your still gonna have a few problems, as food will stick to it, so youll have 7 year old food stuck in your gut.

it's not good for you, apparently it stays in your gut for over 6 years as it's extremely hard to digest.
