Hey friends! Do you love chewing gum? 😁 Kids to adults, everyone loves it, right? Some people chew it for jaw exercise, dental strength, oral cleanliness, or to get rid of bad breath. Others just chew it for fun. But sometimes, people accidentally swallow it. Ever wondered if swallowing chewing gum is harmful? Let's find out the truth!
Some folks believe that if you swallow chewing gum, it stays in your stomach for about 7 years and can cause problems in your intestines. But is this really true? Experts say no.
Chewing gum is made from materials that don't break down easily, so it can't be digested. If you accidentally swallow it, it usually passes through your system and comes out in your poop within a few hours or days. But remember, it's not a good idea to swallow gum regularly. Chewing gum in large amounts can harm your digestive system and isn't healthy.
So, enjoy your gum, but don't make it a habit to swallow it! 🌟
