Should we eat chewing gum?

Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally isn't harmful if swallowed. Folklore suggests that swallowed gum sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But this isn't true. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it.

My 6-year-old daughter accidentally swallowed a wad of chewing gum. Should I be concerned? Answer From Elizabeth Rajan, M.D. Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally isn't harmful if swallowed. Folklore suggests that swallowed gum sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But this isn't true. If you swallow gum, it's true that your body can't digest it. But the gum doesn't stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool. On very rare occasions, large amounts of swallowed gum combined with constipation have blocked intestines in children. It's for this reason that frequent swallowing of chewing gum should be discouraged, especially in children.

How do I figure out the scale of a song?

Look at the notes used in the song and try to identify the major or minor scale notes. The major and minor scales use the same notes, but they start in a different place. If you can see pieces of these scales in the song, you'll be able to identify the scale. You can also look at the first and last notes of the song.

To determine what key a song is in when you have the sheet music, look at the key signature, which is the set of markings between the clef and the time signature. If there are flats, the key is the name of the second-to-last flat when read from left to right. For key signatures using sharps, the key is the note that’s ½ step up from the last sharp marking. Alternatively, if you’re using a chord chart to play the guitar, the key is most likely the same as the starting and ending chords. For example, if a piece of music ends with a D chord, the song is probably in the key of D. For tips on how to figure out the key of a song by ear, keep reading!
