Ans. False!. It is told that swallowed chewing gum may take up to seven years to become fully digested. It is also believed that the gum could also become lodged in the esophagus or stay in the stomach. If fact, chewing gum does resist complete digestion by the body, nonetheless it is generally expelled like other foods in the normal time frame though in a form relatively unvaried.
