Florida: Many people believe that chewing gum can have dangerous consequences if it is swallowed, but how close is this to reality, let’s get the answer from the experts.
According to Dr. Ari Lemet, a gastroenterologist in the US state of Florida, chewing gum is not necessarily harmful to health, but it is also not a good habit. In an interview with Fox News, Dr. Erie told Fox News that if you have a healthy digestive system, chewing gum once in a while is not a problem.
However, when asked if this is the case, then what about the warnings that have been heard for years that chewing gum takes 7 years to digest, the doctor explained that the truth is that chewing gum does not digest at all. It doesn’t happen. It is not digestible. This is why if swallowed, it will eventually come out through a bowel movement.
On the other hand, Dr. Carrie Frommer, CEO of Pediatrics and Allied Physicians Group in New York, also agreed that chewing gum does not have any health effects. He said that chewing gum is not digestible. It will pass through the intestines and eventually come out in a bowel movement.
