It wont hurt you if you do, but if you did swallow the gum it would sit inside of you for about 5 years or so. You wont want to do it all the time.

Should you? Probably not, but there is no real harm

yes, it is harmful to your body gum sticks to anything gum will stick to your insides just as well as anything else and the gum will stay i your system for 7 years. after 7 years the gum will come out of your system your body can not digest gum it cant brake it down that's why it takes so long to come out of your body.

It is not bad to swallow a small amount of Chewing Gum. If a person swallows a large amount of gum, it may cause a blockage in the stomach.

Yes you can. However it is very bad for you and can lead to health problems. If I were you I'd spit gum out when your finished and chuck it in the bin :)

No. You can swallow gum and it will just go down like food. The only way you could choke is if it is a great big piece of gum.

You can. It will go through your body and you will not get sick. This is an "old wives tale".
