Absolutely not. Although it cannot be broken down by the digestive system, if gum is followed, it follows the normal route of the digestive system from end to end, and like most things, will eventually pass, unless you choke on it or it lodges itself somewhere in the system forming a blockage. In either case, you'd have bigger problems to worry about.

No.

It'll go to the stomach, then through the intestines, and what can't be digested will come out like the other parts of food that your body can't use.

No, that's just a tactic that concerned parents use when they don't want their kids chwing gum at a young age.
