Are gold flakes digestable?
Are gold flakes that you see on tv shows where they are placed on fancy food, are they digestable or do you just poop it out? Does it have any flavor, or is it just a fancy thing to do when you have a lot of money that you don't mind eating. no pun intended.
Answers:
I'm not 100% sure but i think it just passes through you. Your body doesn't need the element gold in it to work.
As for the person above me who said your body can't digest metal. What do you think they mean when they say you need iron? is there some other type of iron other than the element that is a metal? sodium is also a metal which is in a lot of foods in large proportions.

It's fine to eat, and is digestable.
it doesn't really taste like anything. you just end up pooping it out b/c your body can't digest metal.
...yeah.... makes ya poop out fools gold!
I think um... you end up pooping it out.
Then you can pretend it's the California Gold Rush!
