Does your body digest paper?!


Question:

Does your body digest paper?


Answers:

It depends if the paper is made of new or recycled plant fibers, or if it is synthetic or coated. Your body can digest paper made of wood pulp since they wood pulp is cellulose based . But paper may be treated with chemicals like bleach, etc to whiten and process the wood pulp into paper, so eating paper may not be very good for you.
