Yes!

I know that. I make my homework very often while I chew gum. I think I work better if I chew gum.

Chewing Gum is nasty, vile stuff. Why anyone would choose to chew it voluntarily is beyond me...

I read somewhere that if you swallow chewing gum/bubble gum, it takes something like 3 years for your body to break it down.

Only if it stayed in your body for those three years. It goes the same way as tomato skin and apple pips - egested in a day or two.
