Chewing gum!


My mom used to tell me when a was a little kid "dont swallow your chewing gum!" when i asked her why she said "it gets stuck in your stomach and you could die or get really sick!"...i know drama! so i decided to do some research and i found out that chewing gum is not digestible but it definitely doesn't sit in your stomach for years! Gum actually might help things move through the bowels faster. Sorbitol is sometimes used as a sweetener in gum and can act as a laxative! so what does this mean? well if you look carefully you should see it floating in your toilet, YUCK!
