Amy Shira Teitel Instagram – Gum has a neat history, but it’s also disgusting. We have enzymes that break down food in our mouths and stomachs, and gum just… doesn’t! That’s so creepy I can’t handle it. The FDA definition certainly doesn’t help. And with gum not breaking down, that means there won’t be a gum tree in your stomach if you swallow it. You just pass it. (Though in rare cases it can get stuck so don’t eat it.) I’m an @altoids girl now.
Also bonus Pete Conrad!
