Corn on the Cob
I LOVE corn on the cob and have been eating it like crazy lately. Seriously, sometimes it is a whole meal for me. However, every time I have it I get a bad stomach ache. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Maybe it's just hard to digest...I don't know. At any rate, it doesn't stop me from eating it. YUM.

This was part of a book Titled "Why do men have nipples" full of questions that you always want to ask doctors but feel silly doing so. Hope it helps with your corn dilema! (PS corn is awesome!)
DOES IT REALLY TAKE SEVEN YEARS TO DIGEST CHEWING GUM?
What is it with seven years? You break a mirror, seven years of bad luck. Each dog year is seven human years. Seven years to digest swallowed gum? What if a dog broke a mirror then swallowed a pack of gum? Sounds like an algebra problem.
Chewing gum is not digestible, but it definitely doesn't sit in your stomach for years. Gum actually might help things move through the bowels faster. Sorbitol is sometimes used as a sweetener in gum and this can act as a laxative. What does this mean? Yes, if you look carefully, you should see it floating next to all of those lovely yellow corn kernels.
