i just parachuted a crushed up multi vitamin so it wouldnt be sure an issue of it dissolving , i was wondering if it would be bad to do this as a daily thing.

i used a 2 ply toilet paper
( pulled the 2 plys apart and used 2/3's of one)

any insight?
 
This is hardly ADD material but what the hell I'm here so no, parachuting is just as safe as eating it. Are you serious though, a multivit? Why would you even do anything with it other than eat it whole?....the way it was meant to be taken. You really dont have to worry about it not dissolving, it's a vitamin. Vitamins are either water soluble or fat soluble, and either way there's no trouble dissolving in your stomach.
 
dont know about parachuting, but in paragliding, ya prettymuch guaranteed a major incident about every 500 flight hours. in extreme mountain sports no falls = no balls.

I hope you don't have too many falls while paragliding, it seems like something you'd have difficult bouncing back from ;)

agree with Δ9, this really isn't advanced as you pose it. If you wanted to know about chemicals contained in the toilet paper and long term exposure to them, it might be more interesting.

Even still, I doubt you have much to worry about, other than the fact that you've taken to eating toilet paper.

thats OK I'll do 499.9 hours of paragliding and then switch to BASE jumping for 21 jumps or whatever, then I will switch to train surfing :-)
gotta be safer than eating toilet paper, god only knows what infection are on toilet paper, I mean who washes their hands before getting the paper.
 
Why did they get rid of the medical Q&A forum?

That amount of toilet paper should be fine (i would sincerely hope the "vitamin" is just a metaphor). Be sure to use only Charmin, shit gets you fucked up....
 
Holy S%§*! Why is everybody mind-trippin' except me? ;) What the hell are you talking about? Toilet paper -> Parachuting/-gliding?! WTF? NOW I KNOW! Yes! Ya really smoke dat shit and dat makes ya crazy! Don't smoke toilet paper man! Confused...

Kind of bizarre, but to answer your question:

Toilet Paper is mostly cellulose. You have enzymes to digest starch, which is very similar to cellulose, but not enzymes to digest cellulose. It's basically "fiber".

The really "greasy" feeling toilet paper usually has aloe. Aloe is not meant to be taken internally, but the amount in a piece of toilet paper is not likely to hurt you.

Basic toilet paper will have small amounts of PEG (polyethylene glycol) to increase absorbency. They will almost certainly add a small amount of one of various flavors of ethoxylated fatty triglyceride esters. Probably ethoxylated castor oil. These are used as softeners - the triglyceride part is like the natural oils in your skin, so it makes things feel more "natural". The ethoxylated part is basically the same as PEG - it makes the stuff water soluble. The ethoxylated ester may be added in part as a softener, but in general anytime you find high speed mechanical processing of cellulose you will find ethoxylated fatty esters being added as lubricants and processing aids.

This stuff may sound scary but it's not. Both PEG and ethoxylated fatty esters are not harmful when consumed in small amounts and also used in virtually every pill formulation in existence, and the vitamin you are taling itself is almost sure to contain lots more of both than a little wad of TP.

So no it should not be anything to worry about.

Except TP is like swallowing chewing gum - it stays in your stomach seven years. :D (j/k)

so if TP is looked down on by some as Stricly for Anal use then Wat exactly DO people use to parachute pills?

and i want to thank everybody who replied with something insightful on the topic.

That is not the right question. The question is: why do people "parachute" pills? It doesn't make a damned bit of difference. Unless they are time release, they are designed to dissolve in your stomach in a rapid manner.
 
this has got to be a joke, parachuting a multivitamin tablet? your not gonna get a rush unless you bang it :P
