What Really Happens When You Swallow Gum? [VIDEO]

Does it really stay in your stomach for seven years?

We've all swallowed gum at one time or another, probably because we had to get rid of it in a hurry and there wasn't a trash can (or toilet) nearby. I even know a few people who swallow gum on purpose! As far as I know, they're perfectly fine, but is that gum still stuck in their stomachs? The video above explains just exactly what happens to that gum and why you should avoid swallowing it at least on a regular basis.
