I have a craving for chewing gum and swallow it,is this dangerous?!
Answers: I have had a terrible craving for chewing gum lately,i buy packets of the stuff,i have also been swallowing it too,my question is what affect would swallowing it have on my body?
The only thing I can tell you is that you might choke on the gum when you swallow it. When I was a little girl, I used to swallow my gum all of the time. My grandfather told me not to be doing that. I asked him "why not". He told me that my ribs would stick together if I did. Of course I didn't believe him. He was just teasing. One day, I had a big wad of gum in my mouth and then I swallowed it. It got caught in my throat and I almost choked. I had a hard time swallowing it. After that, I never swallowed my gum again. It scaried me. Chew all of the gum that you want, but spit it out when you are done with it.
i hope not i have always done that
nothing would happen..you will just poop it abck out
It nots really dangerous, but its not good for you as it digests extremley slowly, infact it doesnt really digest, It will stay in you for up to 7 years
yes if u swallow to much at a time my mom said ur stomac could get stuck together
nope, not at all - it will pass through your digestive tract in less than 12 hours
I don't think so, the thing about gum staying in your system for seven years is just a myth.
I should not think so, it will just pass through your gut and out the other end like all the rest of the stuff you eat. When I was a youngster many moons ago they used to say when you swallowed chewing gun it used to stick to your ribs - it does'nt.
Yes if you do everyday!
uh ya it can lead to lomonisis cancer & it can also lead to llamanisois diesease these are the worst
uhm
i dont think its that bad,
only if u choke on it and die
other then that i dont think its that life threatning
Hi parkfiel,
The gum itself is not the problem as natural causes will go its
coarse if it reaches the stomach, its the possibility of it sticking in your throat lots of people do and they may say they have been doing it for years but it only has to happen once bit like Russian roulette..... to quote Clint Eastwood " Do you feel lucky "
