One lie I believed as a child was that if I swallowed gum, it would stay in my stomach for seven years. I remember being so careful not to chew gum too often, convinced I was somehow putting my health at risk. It wasn’t until I learned more about digestion and how our bodies process food that I realized it was just a myth! It’s funny to think about how something so silly could cause so much worry back then. What about you? Did you have any similar experiences?
