what? Mm hmm, mm hmm. You chew it, you stretch it, You blow it. And to be honest sometimes you stick it on things. But what happens to your body when you swallow chewing gum and not just once, but all the time. If you always swallow your gum, could it plug up your body? And is it true? It could kill you. This is what if. And here's what would happen if you always swallowed your chewing gum. It's minty, fruity and delicious. We love it so much that globally it's *** $29 billion 2025 chewing gum might even help your health. *** study from Swinburne University said that chewing gum can help reduce stress levels. And *** 2002 study showed that chewing *** piece of sugar free gum could improve your short term memory. But it also contains many ingredients used in things like caulking white glue and plastic bags. So is it safe to swallow gum? Well, first let's start by saying that gum does not stay in your stomach for seven years. You knew that right? *** healthy body can expel *** piece of gum in *** few days. So swallowing *** piece of gum from time to time isn't going to kill you. But if you always choose to gobble down your gum, it could be another story. The problem is gum, it doesn't break down like other food gum like some seeds and corn can turn into indigestible mass is called caesar's. They can accumulate in your digestive tract and even cause *** blockage. It's because gum is *** kind of rubber originally made of chikowore *** sap from the sabah dilatory in Central America. It was synthesized in *** laboratory after World War Two. Do you still want to try this? Seriously? Alrighty. Then you've been swallowing several pieces of gum each day for *** few days and they're building up in your digestive system. If foods fluids, gastric acids and gas build up behind the blockage, it could create pressure. You would probably experience bloating, diarrhea, vomiting and constipation, among other things and pain. You would definitely feel pain. You should probably pack *** few things and seek treatment at the closest hospital. If it's *** partial blockage then you're lucky, it's easier to treat the problem. You'll likely get intravenous fluids to rehydrate your body *** catheter into your bladder, to drain out your urine and *** tube into your stomach to relieve pressure, swelling and vomiting. But if you have *** complete blockage, it could tear you apart your intestines could rupture leaking harmful bacteria into your abdominal cavity. That could kill you even if your stomach or intestines don't rupture. *** blockage can prevent blood from getting to other parts of your intestines that can cause infection tissue, Death sepsis and multiple organ failures and that could kill you too just in case you're wondering in both cases you might need to go under the knife and that would be no fun. So yeah, it's *** terrible idea to keep swallowing your chewing gum. Now, if you have *** taste for chewy stuff, what would happen if you only ate raw meat? Well, that's *** story for another. What if? Mm hmm.
