British Aristocrats have their News paper ironed by their servants before they touch them. The ironing will dry out the ink and thus won't stick to their hands. That sound Aristrocratic, but really, the News print ink can be toxic and it is toxic. When we read the papers the ink stick to our skin and it can easily be carried over into our blood through our food. The most vulnerable is the eye. Going the stomach route may get rid of some parasites, pathogens and to an extent toxins since our stomach takes care of them through its acidic nature. But eyes. When we touch something and rub our eyes the transfer is so easy, especially for bacteria and virus.
I dont read newspapers that often now. I guess you aren't too. But if and when you read make sure that you wash your hands after that. If you are eating, it is good to not read newspaper if you are planning to use your hand for say, spreading the bread or eating fruits. Be aware of rubbing your eyes too.
