We dropped gum into real stomach acid to settle the myth. 🔬 Swallowed gum travels down the esophagus into the stomach. Chewing and saliva didn't break down the gum base, so now the stomach tries, with hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and constant churning. It shrugs it all off. We even diluted acid to stomach strength and dropped gum in before filming. Hours later? Barely changed. Gum resists digestion, but it doesn't live in you for 7 years. It just passes through. 👉 Love busting body myths?
