I ALWAYS used to swallow bubble gum until when I was about 17 someone told me you shouldn't (they couldn't give me an explanation though) Hasn't done me any harm either (well I'm slightly mad......... )

Not that this helps but my mum used to tell me at that age, it could wrap around your heart, as if! LOL. Since when has your stomach and intestines led to your heart ,not that I'ma doctor mind.

I don't think it will do any serious harm.

here

is one article about swallowing bubble gum (it's an American site)

Here's a lovely thought from it

"Because gum base is insoluble, it cannot be digested and will pass through the digestive system in one piece within a few days of being swallowed."

or a British article on the same subject matter (mentions the wrapping around organs LOL)
