MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Can you eat gold?

Gold is very popular lately and today’s mystery… are the rumors true that you can eat gold?

The answer… kind of. Pure gold is safe to eat, but it’s basically flavorless. So those gold flakes on your fancy dessert you won’t even taste. But… you shouldn’t eat your gold jewelry or anything else that looks gold because most likely it’s definitely NOT pure and probably has other metals or chemicals mixed in. Yuck.
