There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Doctors recommend against eating toothpaste directly, and note that the amount of activated charcoal in foods and toothpastes is smaller than the amount necessary to interfere with medication.

Try to avoid unnecessarily eating large amounts of activated charcoal, which is nontoxic and recommended by the WHO as an emergency treatment for poisonings/ODs.

Don't eat toothpaste, it is a topical agent only!

Especially processed toothpastes, which are generally considered toxic!
