Did anyone watch? Sister girl eats about 8 dryer sheets per day. They had her see a Dr. who informed her that the dryer sheets have chemicals that can cause pancreatic and/ or lung cancer when ingested. She stated she saw her mom eating paper when she was little. Her daughter who is under 5 years of age attempted to eat toilet paper during the show. She said she really wants to stop but it soothes her. At the end, she was down to eating only 2 dryer sheets per day.

I saw on another show where this lady could not stop eating toilet paper. Then I wondered if she ever really extracted any calories from it because she was kind of big. lol I don't remember what show it was on.
Dryer sheet causing cancer if ingested, who knew? I wonder if that chemical can be absorbed through the skin too?

It's a medical disorder called Pica. I had it when I was a child and when I got pregnant 13 years ago. I use to eat toilet paper, and the tips of matches when I was a child from like 7 to 11 years old, then I just stopped. When I was pregnant I had the urge to chew fabric softner sheets, but I never ingested them. It usually affects women and children.

Me too. When I was pregnant I kept a box of dryer sheets behind my bed. I would wake up just to inhale it and it would make my throat feel so good as if I was soothing one of the strongest cravings I ever had. It stopped after pregnancy, thank God. I never tried to eat one though but I sniffed the heck out of them.
Eww I can only stomach this show every once in a while. I was done with the lady eating couch cushions - and rolling them in dirt to get a "crunch". I think she said she's eaten the equivalent to two couches or something like thaterplexed

I'm fascinated by this show. I'm mad I missed the dryer sheet one. There was a girl that ate cigarette ashes!
