What Happens When You Eat Metal?

These people are eating metal. Some of them can eat it without any immediate harmful effects. How are they able to do it? Is it even possible for your body to digest metal?

Did you know that you're probably eating metal every day? If you eat steak, shellfish, or spinach, they contain forms of iron and calcium. Those are key parts of our diets as they help form our red blood cells. But for this challenge, we're going to try something a little bit different. Instead of eating foods that contain metals, we're going straight to the source (eat iron, eat glass, eat metal). Screws, bolts, maybe even an iPad or a computer are all on the menu.

Now we don't recommend this at all, but what would happen if you tried it anyway?
