Hi,
Paper comes from trees which are made of cellulose; our bodies do NOT contain enzymes which can break down cellulose so therefore it can not be digested so it will come out the same it went in.
Eating paper shouldn't have any adverse side effects but the components which were used to 'make the paper' so to speak could have e.g. the bleaching agents used, etc.
