The "lead" of pencils is an inert material called graphite. You poop it out in your stool like other indigestible debris. I know of no studies that looked at the long term ingestion of this material nor would I expect them to be done in the near future. Eat at your own risk.

Pencil lead is actually a mixture of graphite and clay, which is dried. It is relatively non-harmful and will not cause cancer. good luck.
