Haha!

Well Honestly, I don't know why, but I have caught myself eating paper and cardboard all the time.

I am 14 years old, and I haven't really seen any side affects.

My friends are always asking

"WHY ARE YOU EATING THAT PIECE OF PAPER?!"

And Honestly I couldn't tell them why.

^_^!

My point is....

No.

I don't think it is dangerous to eat paper.

Maybe if you eat a notebook.

There are dyes in paper, but I don't think there is enough to make you sick.

I actually looked at your question because I started eating a piece of paper and thought about it.

I HOPE I HELPED!!

Bye!

Not unless you are from the unknown species Homo aegagrus :Toilet Paper is made up of a compound known as Cellulose. Which, as many may know, is an essential component of plant cell. Only Goats and other ruminants can digest Toilet paper because they have an enzyme cellulase which helps them to digest it.
