    I normally use methylcellulose to glue wallpaper to the wall.

    But apart from that, a surprisingly clean list for such a product.

      Methyl cellulose is also used in; laxatives, artificial tears, ice cream, toothpaste, pill capsules.

      It’s non-toxic and non-allergic.

      It does happen to be useful as a binder in glues, but that doesn’t seem a useful metric as to its safety. In comparison the same shellac I use to seal wood is also used to coat candy.
