Here's what really happens to your body when you swallow gum
"Turns out there are three basic components of digestion: The first includes the mechanical processes that are required to process your food when you first ingest it, i.e. chewing. The second focuses on the enzymes or proteins in your saliva and stomach that help break down that food."

Fact of Fiction?: Chewing Gum Takes Seven Years to Digest
"So what does become of gum that's been chewed up but not spit out? Not much, as it happens. Some of the components, such as sweeteners, are broken down, but the gum's base is largely indigestible."

Why can we hear silence? Why does silence have a noise?

I've never been told that lie, (gum will stay in your stomach for 7 years if you swallow it) my parents told me that if you swallow it, it might get stuck in your throat due to how sticky it is. Then you could choke. I wonder if that could actually happen, it sounds very realistic, but even if it isn't true I try not to swallow gum. I asked my parents the other day why they didn't tell me that myth (the whole 7 years thing), and they said it's because they wanted to tell me and my siblings an accurate reason to why you shouldn't swallow gum.
