What if we Swallow Chewing Gum? | #aumsum #kids #science #education #children

Firstly, it is a myth that chewing gum sticks to the insides our stomach just like it sticks to any other surface. It does not, it passes through the body just like any other food. Our body is able to digest many parts of the chewing gum like sweeteners, flavorings, etc., but not the gum resin. However, that does not mean that it stays in our stomachs for years, in fact, just like any other waste material, it is pushed through our intestines and then finally out of the body.

So, is there any use of swallowing a chewing gum?

The answer is a big no, because it has absolutely no nutritional value. Also note that, choking may occur if big chunks of swallowed gum get stuck in our windpipe.
