Old Wives Tales, it is completely harmless, you can not digest it so it is leaves your body in the normal way. It can not stay in your body or wrap itself around any of your organs. However I would just suggest wrapping it in paper and throwing it in the bin cos it's not overly pleasant swallowing it. |

always thought it would stick to my throat if i swollowed it, but to chuck it i wrap it first as i remember seeing mum and dads dog blackie with it stuck in between the pads on his paws, dad had to cut it out of his fur , bless him, just cos someone never binned it |

I've been told that if you swallow it then it can stick in your appendix, with nasty results. |

It's so chewy I don't know how people can swallow without doing a pelican impression. |

I've always wondered whether you should spit chewing gum out or is ot OK to swallow it ? Personally I hate the stuff but is it true that the stomache can't digest it or is it just an old wives tale ? If it is so bad for us why doesn't it have a health warning on it ? Clare.x |
