Swallowing chewing gum could affect our life or not?
We have all been warned by our grandmother or parents not to swallow chewing gum because it will stick to our intestines and adversely affect our health. According to pediatric gastroenterologist David Milov of the Nemours Children’s Clinic in Orlando, this is just a myth that people should stop believing.
“That would mean that every single person who ever swallowed gum within the last seven years would have evidence of the gum in the digestive tract. On occasion, we’ll see a piece of swallowed gum, but usually, it’s not something that’s any more than a week old,” said Milov.
