I can understand the question, but pumice rock is not really one thing, but a result of several processes occurring at a similar time. It is like if you boil a soup, different chemicals will evaporate at different times. In a volcano there are an entire host of different chemicals all being heated simultaneously. The lava is melted and is pouring out of the volcano which is also spewing gases among other things. There are only a few ways out of the pressured volcano and so the gases can bubble through the lava to get out. If the lava cools more quickly than the gases can leave the stone, they will remain trapped in the lava forming small chambers which were formerly bubbles. This is pumice stone.

What can happen if you eat pumice?
Eating pumice is a very bad idea. Pumice is an igneous rock, and it would probably damage your digestive system if your stomach acid doesn't dissolve it. Even if your stomach did dissolve it, there could be lethal toxins in a rock like pumice.

Which process explains why the terrestrial planets do not have hydrogen and helium in their atmospheres?
The terrestrial planets are less massive and therefore have less gravity. As a result, much of the lighter gases could escape, in the process of planet formation.
Which foods have pumice in?
Pumice - of volcanic origin - is not an intentional additive to food. It could be present, just like any dirt might be - in agricultural products grown in volcanic soils. Now, if you are referring to tomato pumice - which is a waste product of tomato juice production - that can sometimes be found in pet foods.
