Question: Is it dangerous to eat petroleum jelly (I'm talking about eating several jars of the stuff) !?
Answers:
Okay, you're officially odd!.

I used to sing and would melt 2 tablespoons of the stuff in hot water with honey to make my throat clearer and "lubed" up, lol!.

Wouldn't eat, like, tubs and tubs of the stuff on it's own, though!.!.!.

It's not dangerous but I would imagine your excrement would be clear!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As it is a known carcinogenic agent (causes cancer), I would definitely say, yes, it would be dangerous, even though the inventor, Robert Cheseborough, claimed to have eaten one teaspoonful a day since its invention!. He may well have died of cancer, even though he was 94 when he died!. All cells reproduce very slowly the older we get and die at a greater rate than they are produced!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

now to actually answer this!.!.!. humm!.!. lets see!.!.!. open a can of clear petroleum jelly, take a spoon and put in the mouth!.!. swallow!.!. humm

no i cant!.!. i need to understand why you even thought of this!.!. before i can even imaging the consequences of your action!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

my sisters dog - a german shepherd/boxer cross (decidedly stupid) licked clean a full pot of vaseline (petroleum jelly) to the point that the jar was bone dry, not a greasy residue in sight!. for the next two days every time he coughed he got serious diarrhoea!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since it's basically a thick mineral oil, it will probably act as a strong laxative!. Hopefully, it will melt enough at body temperature not to stick things up on the way down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The person who invented it, ate a spoonfull everyday and lived to be over 100 years!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I should say so! What on earth would possess you to try and eat the stuff!!? I am allergic to it on my skin, but to eat it too!? NO WAY HOSE!Www@FoodAQ@Com
