How much paper and what kind? It probably won't kill you, but it isn't exactly safe. The paper itself is just cellulose, tree bark and linen, however, it is treated with all kinds of nasty chemicals, and, since it isn't for consumption, they don't clean them out. There is bleach and enzymes which are used to make the paper white. They also contain dyes which aren't approved for consumption (though in minute quantities.) Aosl, some papers are coated with all kinds of stuff. Also, LInen fibers are proabbly really hard on your gastric system. I suspect that should you carry on with this habit for a few years, you might develop reflux disease or an ulcer. Finally, if you ever saw how it's stored in the warehouse, well, you'd probably get sick from the thought. People sit on it, spit on it, wipe their hands on it. It's pretty gross, not to mention dust, etc.
If you must eat paper, I'd suggest you invest in some rice paper. I think they probably make some specifically for eating, try asian markets. Make sure it's for eating, not for writing on, just because it's not packaged for hygenic concerns.
No advantages - and certainly disadvantaged. This is not a good thing - your body is lacking certain nutrients to make you want to eat paper. I would get on a good multi vitamin and spit the paper out after chewing on it.
you might poop a tree, but hey, at least you found a new way to recycle
