toothpaste isn't good for you to eat on purpose, even though we consume some everyday when we brush our teeth (or tooth, if you are a redneck.) I wouldn't go to the store to buy some, just to eat it. I can think of something better to eat, like cake batter! One day, i ate a whole box of betty crocker chocolate cake. "Devil's food", yeah! No wonder they call it that. I had a stomach ache bad! And I'm lactose intollerant! go figure!
It was sooooooo yummy, though! But i paid for it in the end! :)

No, its not okay to eat toothpaste. It says right on the tube to use only a pea size amount just in case you do swallow it!

No you shouldn't eat toothpaste as it would poison and harm you. My friend accidentally ate some once and she had a high fever for a week.

No you can not eat toothpaste. It can poison you if you eat too much, and if you really eat too much, it has been known to be fatal.

To accidently ingest a small amount won't cause any harm. But it isn't healthy to ingest a large amount. It contains fluoride and other active ingredients that shouldn't be intentionally consumed.

no that can cause a fluoride overdose it the same as poison if you eat to much they make fluoride free tooth paste for kids that I'm sure you can eat if you cant control yourself

If it goes into your stomach it can neutralize the acid in your stomach. I wouldn't eat it, because it can mess up your digestive system.
