I was wondering how long it takes for gum to be digested? And is it good for you? Can it hurt you digestive system?

No, it won't hurt you most scientists believe that it actually might help things move faster through your body. It gets digested through your body just like everything else.
No, it doesn't take 7 years to be digested. People always told me of how bad it was to swallow gum but its not. Your body just can't use anything from the gum.

I've swallowed my gum a few times and never came to any harm from it. But it's usually easier to just spit it out. I'm thinking if your boyfriend hasn't noticed anything by now he probably won't.

Chewing gum is plastic with artifical flavors and artificial sweeteners. It doesn't digest.
