Can eating pencil lead kill you in ten years?
If lead pencils were the ONLY thing you ate, it would kill you in a lot less time than that. Pencils do contain some digestible fiber (in the wood), while the graphite "lead" doesn't provide much in the way of nutrition. The "lead" in a pencil is actually not the element lead, which can be toxic; it is graphite, which is powdered carbon. Eating one pencil "lead" is pointless, but harmless.
