Is there any nutritional value to eating your fingernails?

Nope...zero value

wanna know why?

Nails are made of keratin, the same stuff your hair is made of. it is actually a form ofprotein. however, we, along with most other members of the animal kingdom, do not have the right enzymes to break down this complex protein and gain its benefits. hence, it is like eating cellulose. we do not get anything from it except fibre.

Eating your nails is bad for your health because things get stuck under your nails that the human eye cannot see.

however, having said that, i suppose i have to tell you that eating your nails will not kill you.
