Why people should not consume paper

Well, eating paper is generally considered harmful rather than beneficial for several reasons, according to medical doctor Alain Ngamba, who said the following while speaking to Briefly News:

"Eating paper lacks nutritional value and can lead to digestive issues like constipation or blockage due to its indigestible fibres. Paper often contains harmful chemicals from dyes, inks, or bleach, posing toxicity risksAdditionally, paper is not sterile and may harbor contaminants, potentially causing infections if ingested," he said.

The medical doctor added:

"Consuming a lot of paper, whether intentionally or as a disorder of disordered eating, may be a sign of underlying medical or psychiatric problems that need to be treated by a specialist."

He ended off by saying:

"Overall, deliberate consumption of paper is not recommended due to its health risks, emphasising the importance of a balanced diet and seeking medical advice for any concerns related to eating behaviours."
