If gum does not digest for 7 years, does that mean you cant swim for 7 years and 45 minutes?

I'm not sure I understand...\n\nWhat does a piece of gum in your stomach have to do with swimming?  The gum is going to pass through your body with or without digesting within a few days.  Do coins digest?  No, but they pass through your system and out the back end quick enough.

the real question is how long will you sit and eat.......\n\nIf it is a duration of three days then it is possible (with potty brakes ect..)  but then back to the table...\n\nthe rest you should ask a doctor and then do what he says....

Only 90 days? You wont have any survival trouble, lack of minerals and vitamins affect you after years I think.

Easy to answer,\n\nWell there are many common ways gum can be dangerous: chokeing, swallowing, playing with it to much...\n\nif you swallow it it will digest in 7 years max, if you choke on it there can be ways to fix that but there is a 50/50 chance you will die or live, don`t play with your gum to much because when germs get on it you can get very sick and end up with a fever i suggest a flue shot because fevers can kill you. If you have braces don`t eat it even if it is ok with your dentist or parents you can still have one half stuck and one half choking. If you use it properly there is no harm what so ever

Well it is about 12,000 miles long.  I can swim about a mile in an hour so 12,000 hours or 500 days

Fire away dude.  You will not run out.  If you run into infertility problems later in life, the doc may recommend waiting a few days before you try for the bullseye, but it is extremely unlikely your activity now will affect the quality of your swimmers later.

like the other person said, it is possible especially if you have had alcoholic beverages, or if you are a deep sleeper, but also if you have had a long hard day at work or have worked for (let's say) 24 hours straight through. It is possible to drown in the tub, even in only enough water to cover the mouth and nose.

It is an old wives tale. The oly way it could really harm you is if you're a competitive swimmer, and you eat a big meal. Then you risk cramping.

the answer is 6-10 minutes if u are healthy, the question was how long u can LIVE not stay conscious. therefore the body organs and cells can last from 6-10 minutes.furthermore 4-6 minutes without minutes without breathing the cells begin to deteriorate, then 6-10 minutes without breathing the cells begin to die. u can only be resucitated after 10 minutes ONLY if your core temperature is well below normal hypothermic.

Your mouth feels dry because you are doing most of your inhaling through your mouth when swimming. The constant flow of air dries out your mouth and throat. If you swim in a pool, keep a water bottle at one end and hydrate yourself regularly. You lose fluids while swimming, whether you realize it or not.

All I know about this matter is that my aunt chewed nicotine gum for 10 years (bad idea) and she developed throat cancer...whether it was from the gum or smoking for ever I don't know, but it is quite addicting. Another case is my grandma chewed the gum as well, and after 2 years she had stomach problems and gum irritation. From these examples, I would guess that it's not a good idea to use the stuff for too long. They both were successful at quitting smoking though.

Depends on whether they are hooked up to an IV, etc.  Ther eis no set time frame but generally a person can survive without water for only a couple of days ... no simple answer to your question.

Actually it can be bad for him depending on how much he swallows-I had a friend who had to have the build up of gum removed from her stomach baecause it was causing a blockage-not a fun thing to have done!

Food stays in your body for 24 hours before being fully digested and producing waste.  Luqiud is absorbed much more quickly and can leave the body within minutes.

Yup. Your body hold onto about 5-8 lbs. worth of digested food in your intestine. If you were to stop eating it would take about 2-3 days to empty it out, hence losing about 5-8 pounds. But of course, next meal it will creep back.
