I like chewing on plastic and metal bottle caps, is that safe?

Best Answers

It is not safe at all. A pen cap was all I could think of on sighting your question. Plastic is generally made in factories that are not food-grade clean - unless they were made for food. read more

Chewing it won't necessarily harm your teeth, and a swallowed bit will pass on through your digestive tract in a day or so. Lead poisoning is also associated with chewing on plastics.

Best Answer: You have to be chucking at a whole load of plastic objects to get sick from it. It is possible you may swallow small particles of it but not enough to make you sick. Usually our stomach acid can break it down. I would recommend you to stop chewing on it just for your teeth sake though. read more
