According to the Mayo Clinic website (and many other sites) swallowing gum is not harmful to your body. It is not digested in any way and passes through “relatively intact”.
Another website asked the same question but added that they chew 10-15 sticks of gum each day and swallow them all. No difference, all 15 wads of gum are passed though the same.
The human body consumes many things that it does not digest and simply passes them through. Some people chew their fingernails. Those clippings and any excessive amount of certain foods are passed intact as well.
Enjoy the gum and fingernails and any other strange things you people eat.
I thought they took this off the market because of the tobacco/youth deal…
