Why is it so bad to swallow gum? ?

Answer 1

It's really not bad for you just not suggested.  I don't know if can but I've heard that it can get stuck in your intestinal tract.  

Answer 2

depending on the size.

if it's like a pea then you could possibly swallow it.

I mean I've eaten gum like 5 times in my life and I'm 10.

nothing has happened to me yet

Answer 3

Well, it's actually not bad, but I wouldn't do it. It takes 3 days for it to digest. And it doesn't stay in you're stomach for 7 years like everyone says.

Answer 4

There are terrible side effects, one of which is clearly depicted in this picture of what could potentially happen to innocent gum swallower.
