When we are children we are told not to swallow gum because it will take us seven years to digest it.
Until then, we are led to believe that it will be in the stomach, unaffected by the usual body processes that break down and process food.
It is a statement that is expressed in a safe tone in school gardens in many countries.]]> 2022-01-27 01:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/a01198621/6ig5x2kg1yyh245i/wish/2014815397 References a01198621 https://padlet.com/a01198621/6ig5x2kg1yyh245i/wish/2014817281 1) BBC.
