No, that is an old wives tale. Dr. Oz, on Oprah, says so.

No stop wondering,

Good grief, who told you that? Go find him and smack him upside the head for being stupid! It takes less than an hour...

lol. nah. You're fine.

Nope, its a myth.

No. It's a myth. It's just that gum doesn't get broken down by your stomach acid so it goes right through you and comes out with the rest of your the waste.

No, but it will take longer than "normal" food.

nope,

however in chem gum actually gets lighter in weight after you chew it than befere it gets chewed.

This is because the flavor disolves and gets digested in your mouth.

no
