Absolutely not. If it were to take your stomach that long to digest any food, it would eventually expand past it's capacity due to being full. If that happens, it will not be a good day for you. There have been many Urban Myths about things of this nature like swallowing bubble gum is bad because the body cannot digest it or donuts take a week to fully digest. These are just myths, they are not true by any means. Whoever told you this was just pulling your chain or they were misinformed.

How long does it take to digest a french fries?

French fries are just like other foods. It takes the same amount of time to digest a french fry. But it depends if you think the large intestine is part of the digestive tract. First it starts at the mouth. The amylace from the mouth chemically starts to digest the starch in a french fry. Some of the starch has turned into sugar. The esophagus brings down the mush into the stomach. This takes around 4 seconds. The stomach keeps on churning and etc... for around 2-4 hours. The food is put into the small intestine, nutrients absorbed, etc. It stays in the small intestine for around 1-3days. (from esophagus-> colon=between 1day, 2 hours and 4 seconds approx.~3 days, 4 hours and 4 seconds). Hope that helped!!! POYO!!!
