Is it safe to eat silver?

No, it is not safe to eat silver. While a small amount of silver is not likely to cause any harm, consuming too much silver can lead to a condition known as argyria, where the skin and organs become discoloured and turn a bluish-grey. This condition is not life-threatening but is permanent. Silver can also interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients, such as copper, and can cause gastrointestinal issues.
